Hey guys,
So I want to get the Rode Broadcaster for my Youtube channel - I'm still growing and have just really started, with hundreds of videos left to produce. I provide maths tuition online through Youtube in the UK, currently using a Blue Yeti and I currently get around 20k-40k views a month. The Yeti is a nice microphone but I've noticed it doesn't provide the clear crisp type of sound a proper XLR mic provides.

That is what I get with the Blue Yeti at the moment. I don't edit or process my audio after recording, I use software called voicemeter to add the bass effect live on the fly.
The reason why I wish to get a nice XLR mic is because I figured I would have got a proper mic setup down the line anyway, and my videos are used in the classroom by other teachers and they tend to have loud speakers - so I would like to keep background noise, hiss etc as low as possible and have the cleanest sound. Of course I don't think my voice is great either, but I suppose that is something which cannot be changed.
Reason why I'm considering Rode Broadcaster is I have heard a few Youtubers use it, and it has that 'artificial' radio voice - which I would like, like for example in the video below, right at the end the engineer comes up close to the mic and delivers a very punchy bassy sound with the Rode Broadcaster.
YouTube
So would the Rode Broadcaster be a good choice for this, or should I go for other industry standards to get the sound I'm looking for? Would I be expecting a good quality bassy sound by talking very close to this mic?
Thank you.
