And, to make it even more of a clich\u00e9, it\u2019s not very particularly active podcast. Yes, my life is a meme.<\/p>\n<p>So, why do I bring this up? Because although podcasts have become a little bit of a joke, I still love the medium. In many ways, it\u2019s one of the ultimate successes of the internet era. Let me put it this way: What other type of content has such a low entry barrier, alongside such a high chance of building a successful community?<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s the first part of that I\u2019d like to talk about: The low entry barrier. When we first started a podcast, all we needed was a USB mic and some free software. And if you were looking for the former, you\u2019d most like choose something from Blue.<\/p>\n<p>But those days might be over now, all due to Rode\u2019s new NT-USB mini mic.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1271143 size-full lazy\" alt=\"rode's new NT-USB mini mic side\" width=\"585\" height=\"476\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2020\/02\/rodes-new-NT-USB-mic-side.jpg\" data-lazy=\"true\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2020\/02\/rodes-new-NT-USB-mic-side.jpg 585w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2020\/02\/rodes-new-NT-USB-mic-side-258x210.jpg 258w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2020\/02\/rodes-new-NT-USB-mic-side-332x270.jpg 332w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2020\/02\/rodes-new-NT-USB-mic-side-166x135.jpg 166w\"\/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/#\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthenextweb.com%2Fplugged%2F2020%2F02%2F11%2Frodes-new-nt-usb-mini-mic-dethrone-blue-yeti-podcast-streamer%2F&amp;via=thenextweb&amp;related=thenextweb&amp;text=Check out this picture on: Here it is, Rode\u2019s new NT-USB mini mic.

Mmmm.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So, why should you care about\u00a0Rode\u2018s new NT-USB mini mic? Well, I\u2019ll tell you why I do \u2014 and maybe that\u2019ll help.<\/p>\n<p>When our podcast got a bit more serious, we moved away from USB mics and got a mixer with more professional mics. We ended up using the Rode Procasters and, damn, I was blown away by how good they sound, how hardy they are, and, well, just everything about them.<\/p>\n<p>So the fact that Rode\u2019s new NT-USB mini mic is an entry-level bit of tech that should be in reach of most budding podcasters or streamers is a big deal. This could be the first piece of your content puzzle.<\/p>\n<h2>The features of Rode\u2019s new NT-USB mini mic<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s get into some details!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rode\u2019s new NT-USB mini mic uses <strong>a\u00a0condenser capsule<\/strong>, which should deliver a warm, rich sound.<\/li>\n<li>It has an <strong>in-built pop-filter<\/strong>, meaning your plosives (hopefully) won\u2019t spike during recording.<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s set up to be used <strong>directionally<\/strong>, meaning if you speak at it from the correct angle, it\u2019ll mainly record your voice \u2014 helping block out sound from the rest of the room.<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>An in-built amplifier<\/strong>, so you can plug headphones straight into\u00a0Rode\u2019s new NT-USB\u00a0mini mic.<\/li>\n<li>And it uses <strong>a standard USB output<\/strong>, meaning it should be plug and play with PCs and Macs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Those are some of the main benefits, but incase you want some more information, I\u2019d advise you check out this video:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Features and Specifications of the NT-USB Mini\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qVDs9AIVM3w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Excitingly, all this is going to retail for only $99 \u2014 a similar price bracket to the Blue Yeti.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I have high hopes for Rode\u2019s new NT-USB mini mic. I\u2019ve been constantly and consistently impressed with Rode\u2019s gear, and I have no reason to suspect this new bit of kit will be any different.<\/p>\n<p>Still, make sure you keep an eye on Plugged for when we publish a full review on Rode\u2019s new NT-USB mini mic \u2014 you know it\u2019s gonna be good.<\/p>\n<p><i>For more gear, gadget, and hardware news and reviews, follow Plugged on<br \/>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/plugged\">Twitter<\/a> and<br \/>\n            Flipboard.<br \/>\n            <\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"c-post-pubDate\">\n                                    Published February 11, 2020 \u2014 16:28 UTC\n                                <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script data-src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&amp;appId=378011798897423&amp;version=v2.6\" id=\"socialSrcFacebook\" type=\"text\/template\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/plugged\/2020\/02\/11\/rodes-new-nt-usb-mini-mic-dethrone-blue-yeti-podcast-streamer\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Like every other white man between the ages of 25 and 34, I have a podcast.
