RODE PodMic USB and XLR Dynamic Broadcast Microphone (Black)

The RODE PodMic USB combines dual connectivity with professional-grade audio capture for creators across all platforms. This dynamic microphone seamlessly switches between XLR analog and USB-C digital outputs, eliminating the need for separate equipment. The integrated Revolution preamp delivers low-noise amplification with pristine A/D conversion, while advanced DSP processing applies APHEX vocal enhancement to every recording. A refined studio pop filter controls plosives naturally, and zero-latency monitoring through the 3.5mm headphone jack keeps you in control during live sessions. Full compatibility with RODE's software ecosystem—Central, Connect, Capture, and UNIFY—streamlines workflow integration. Whether podcasting, streaming, gaming, or producing content on smartphones, tablets, or desktop systems, the PodMic USB adapts to your setup without compromise.

A Classic, Revisited

Built on the proven foundation of its predecessor, the PodMic USB retains the compact, durable design while introducing a refined aesthetic and enhanced acoustic engineering. The studio-grade pop filter effectively minimizes plosives, ensuring clean vocal capture across all recording scenarios. Dual connectivity—XLR for traditional analog workflows and USB-C for modern digital setups—provides unprecedented flexibility with any mixer, interface, preamp, recorder, computer, or mobile device. The USB-C pathway unlocks RODE's advanced DSP suite, applying sophisticated processing that elevates vocal clarity and stream quality. Whether recording in a dedicated home studio or capturing content remotely, the PodMic USB adapts to your workflow without sacrificing audio fidelity or portability.

Pro Sound When Creativity Calls

The PodMic USB harnesses a high-power neodymium capsule engineered for speech-centric applications, delivering warm, articulate audio with exceptional clarity and presence. Dual pop filtration—an internal design paired with a studio-quality external shield—effectively suppresses plosives while preserving natural vocal character. An integrated shockmount isolates mechanical vibrations, eliminating low-frequency rumble and handling noise that compromises recording integrity. APHEX-powered DSP processing provides granular control over high-pass filtering, noise gating, compression, and signature Aural Exciter and Big Bottom enhancement, accessible through intuitive VoxLab presets or advanced parameter adjustment. Zero-latency headphone monitoring with dedicated level control enables real-time signal assessment and confidence during recording sessions. This combination of acoustic design and intelligent processing ensures broadcast-quality results across professional and content creation applications.
