With Black Friday just around the corner, I’m on the hunt for a Rode microphone at a good discount. I’ve been researching models like the Rode NT1 and the VideoMic Pro for my music production and podcasting needs.

What to Look For

Here are some aspects I think about when looking for a mic:

  • Sound Quality: Rode mics are known for their clarity.
  • Connectivity: USB vs. XLR connections—what’s your preference?
  • Price Range: Any suggestions on what’s a good deal?

Questions for You

  • What models would you recommend for recording music?
  • Have any of you seen discounts listed already? Maybe on particular retailers or websites?
  • What features do you look for when buying a microphone?

I’d love to hear your thoughts so we can all benefit from the best deals this Black Friday.

Totally agree, Marcia! The Rode NT1 is a game changer for home studios. I found one last year for over 20% off!

The Rode VideoMic series also tends to get discounts. I’m hoping to pick up the VideoMic Pro+ this year! Has anyone used it extensively?

I’ve used the VideoMic Pro+ for over a year! It’s sturdy and delivers excellent sound for vlogging. Definitely worth it if it’s discounted!

I wonder if the Rode NTG series will see any discounts. The NTG-3, in particular, is on my wishlist for my film projects.

You’ll love the NTG-3! I rented it last summer and was blown away by the quality. Fingers crossed for discounts this year!

I’ve had a lot of luck snagging Rode mics on sale in the past. My best find was a Rode NT1 for half off during Black Friday. Good times!

Wow, that’s impressive! Do you remember where you found that deal?

I usually shop around and compare prices on different sites like Amazon and Guitar Center. They often have competitive pricing! Happy hunting, everyone!

Can’t wait for the deals! Just hoping nothing crazy happens like last year when everything sold out so fast. Anyone else remember the frenzy?

Oh yes! I had a meltdown when the mics I was eyeing were all gone within hours! Let’s hope this year is smoother.

I think they need to make more Rode mics at lower prices! If they did, everyone would use them. It’s ridiculous they keep the prices so high, even on sale.

16

While that’s true, the value of their mics often justifies the price. Have a little faith, esmall!

17

Does anyone feel like Rode’s marketing usually hypes up their mics more than needed? I mean, they are good, but let’s be real—it’s not magic!

18

Haha! True! Just good engineering, but I still think they deliver great sound for the price. Just hope to score a deal!

I’ve been keeping an eye out for Rode mics this Black Friday. I recommend checking both local stores and online retailers; sometimes online can have better deals, especially at the last minute!

Absolutely! I’ve snagged great deals online before. Have you found any specific websites that usually have the best prices?
