Rode PodMic Black USB mikrofon

Broadcast Dynamic Microphone with Dual XLR and USB-C

The Rode PodMic USB is a broadcast-style dynamic microphone for podcasting, streaming, gaming, and voice-over work. It pairs a cardioid dynamic capsule with analog XLR and digital USB-C outputs, connecting directly to a computer, audio interface, mixer, or smartphone. This model is the right choice for content creators who need one rugged microphone that delivers consistent broadcast-grade sound in any setup.

What Sets This Microphone Apart

A high-power neodymium capsule delivers warm, detailed vocal tone with strong off-axis rejection. The integrated Revolution Preamp and APHEX DSP run on-board, so processing settings are stored on the microphone and apply even without Rode software open. A 3.5 mm headphone jack with level control provides zero-latency monitoring, while the internal shockmount and bundled external pop filter keep plosives and vibrations out of the recording.

Dynamic Capsule Tuned for the Spoken Voice

The dynamic moving-coil design rejects room noise better than condenser alternatives, suiting untreated home studios. A cardioid polar pattern focuses pickup on the speaker directly in front of the mic.

• Polar Pattern: Cardioid — focused front-address capture that suppresses room and monitor bleed
• Capsule Type: Dynamic — handles loud speech without distortion and ignores ambient noise
• Frequency Range: 20 Hz – 20 kHz — full-bandwidth response for body and articulation in vocals

Dual XLR and USB-C Outputs for Any Workflow

This microphone offers both analog and digital outputs on the same body. XLR feeds a traditional mixer or interface, while USB-C unlocks the on-board preamp and DSP for direct computer or mobile recording. XLR and USB cannot operate simultaneously.

• Analog Output: 3-pin XLR — standard connection for mixers, interfaces, and portable recorders
• Digital Output: USB-C female — class-compliant plug-and-play with macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android
• Headphone Jack: 3.5 mm with on-board level control — zero-latency direct monitoring
