The Reporter is a handheld microphone featuring a dynamic capsule with a cardioid pattern, making it significantly easier to use than the commonly used shotgun microphones for interviews, which need to be positioned precisely in front of the speaker's mouth. Its frequency response has been specifically tuned for voices, ensuring optimal clarity. The microphone has a casing made of cast aluminum with a matte black finish. The multi-layered mesh basket protects the capsule from background noise and often eliminates the need for a bulky windscreen. Included in the package is a flag stand that can be branded with the broadcaster's logo. The RØDE Reporter is manufactured in Australia and allows for a free extension of the RØDE warranty to 10 years.
