The original PodMic from RODE is one of the most popular microphones in their range, but requiring a standard XLR input, it’s versatility is somewhat limited…
That’s where RODE’s brand new PodMic USB comes in. An ultra-versatile dynamic microphone ideal for podcasting, streaming, gaming, voice overs, and other speech applications for content creation. It delivers rich, full-bodied sound and features both an XLR and USB output for connecting to an audio interface or mixer like a classic broadcast microphone, or directly to a computer for plug-and-play recording.
Swiss Army Mic
The PodMic USB is a super versatile dynamic microphone for capturing rich, broadcast-quality audio in any scenario you can throw at it. Thanks to its dual XLR and USB connectivity, it is just at home in a recording studio connected to an analog mixer as it is plugged straight into your computer, or you can even hook it up to your smartphone for a grab-and-go recording rig. PodMic USB is perfect if you want one flexible microphone that will make your content sound amazing in any context.
