RODE PodMic USB and XLR Dynamic Broadcast Microphone
The RODE PodMic USB and XLR is a versatile dynamic microphone built for podcasting, streaming, gaming, and content creation. It combines the trusted quality of the original PodMic with added USB-C connectivity for both analog and digital use, offering flexibility for a wide range of recording setups.
Dual Connectivity: USB-C and XLR
Connect to virtually any audio setup using USB-C or XLR. The XLR output performs like the original PodMic, while USB-C provides high-gain low-noise preamps, A/D conversion, and advanced DSP, including APHEX vocal processing for professional-quality recordings.
Portable Recording
With adapters, the PodMic USB supports smartphones and tablets, allowing on-the-go recording. Zero-latency monitoring through the 3.5mm headphone output with a volume control wheel ensures precise audio control wherever you are.
Professional Audio Quality
The high-power neodymium capsule delivers clear and detailed speech audio. The internal and external pop filters minimize plosives, while the internal shockmount reduces vibrations and handling noises for crisp, clean recordings.
Onboard DSP Processing
Powerful APHEX DSP processing lets you shape audio with high-pass filters, noise gates, compressors, and the Aural Exciter and Big Bottom effects. Fine-tune your recordings or use preset VoxLab profiles for quick adjustments.
RODE Software Suite Compatibility
Use RODE Central for firmware updates and advanced processing, RODE Connect to manage multiple USB mics, UNIFY for flexible audio mixing, and RODE Capture for video recording with mic integration. These apps enhance creative control and simplify professional workflow.
