Rode PodMic USB – Dynamic USB/XLR Broadcast Microphone (RODPODMICUSB)

RODE PodMic USB and XLR Dynamic Broadcast Microphone Engineered to provide a versatile workhorse for podcasting, streaming, gaming, and content creation, the PodMic USB is one of the most flexible microphones ever made by RODE, delivering all of the robust features of the original dynamic PodMic but now with added USB-C connectivity, allowing you to use either analog or digital connections. When using the XLR output, the PodMic USB performs exactly like its predecessor, albeit with an improved studio-grade internal pop filter to help tame pesky plosives. When utilizing the USB-C output, you gain access to a range of super flexible features including a high-gain low-noise Revolution preamp, pristine-quality A/D conversion, and advanced DSP that adds professional APHEX vocal processing to your recordings. With the appropriate adapters, the PodMic USB fully supports smartphones and tablets for recording anywhere, any way you want. Listen to your signals with zero-latency onboard monitoring via the 3.5mm headphone output and a dedicated volume-control wheel. The PodMic USB is also fully compatible with the complete RODE software suite, including RODE Central, RODE Connect, RODE Capture, and UNIFY, making it easy to bring broadcast-quality audio to a wide range of applications.  Features Podcasting, Streaming & Content Creation Analog XLR and Digital USB-C Outputs Studio-Grade Internal Pop Filter Internal High-Gain Revolution Preamp APHEX Voice Processing Zero-Latency Monitoring with Volume Knob Fully Supports Smartphones and Tablets Compatible with RODE Software Suite Specifications Microphone Primary Applications Broadcast, Podcast, Web-Streaming, Recording to Mobile Device, Conferencing, Videoconferencing Form Factor Stand/Boom Mount Intended Sound Sources Vocals Sound Field Mono Operating Principle Pressure Gradient Capsule Dynamic Polar Pattern Cardioid Orientation End Address Circuitry Solid-State Pad None High-Pass Filter None Tone Adjustment None Gain Adjustment None Indicators None On-Board Controls Headphone Volume Windscreen Built-In Performance Frequency Range 20 Hz to 20 kHz Impedance 32 Ohms Sensitivity Cardioid: -57 dB at 1 kHz Connectivity Output Connector 1 x XLR 3-Pin Male (on Mic) Digital Output Connector 1 x USB-C Female (on Mic) Headphone Output 1 x 1/8″ / 3.5 mm Wireless None Digital Audio Digital Signal Processing Sound Presets (via Software) OS Compatibility Windows macOS *As of April 2023: Check with the manufacturer for the most up-to-date compatibility Mobile App Compatible Yes *As of April 2023: Check with the manufacturer for the most up-to-date compatibility Power Bus Power USB Operating Voltage Not Specified by Manufacturer Physical Color Black Mounting Mounting Thread (via Integrated Hardware) Mounting Thread Size 5/8″-27 Female Included Case None Included Filters None Dimensions ø: 4.29 x L: 6.77″ / ø: 10.9 x L: 17.2 cm
