The PodMic USB from RØDE gives you a versatile dynamic microphone for capturing high-quality recordings. With both USB and XLR outputs, you can connect directly to your computer or iOS/Android device for portable podcasting and streaming or use an audio interface for professional studio recording. The PodMic USB comes with an integrated pop filter, internal shockmount and a swing mount so you have everything you need to start creating content right out of the box.

Versatile Connectivity for Any Application

With both USB and XLR outputs, the PodMic USB gives you maximum flexibility. Connect directly to your computer via USB for plug-and-play connectivity. The USB output works with both Windows and Mac and provides driverless operation. For mobile recording, you can connect directly to your iOS or Android device with the included USB-C cable. The XLR output lets you connect to any standard microphone input for use with audio interfaces, mixers and other pro gear. No matter what or where you're recording, the PodMic USB has you covered.

Clear, Detailed Sound Thanks to a Premium Capsule

At the heart of the PodMic USB is a high-power neodymium dynamic capsule that delivers rich, full-bodied audio with stunning clarity. The capsule gives you a tight cardioid polar pattern that focuses on the sound in front of the mic while reducing pickup of ambient room noise. The result is a warm and natural tone that accurately captures the nuances and character of your voice. For podcasting, streaming and content creation, the PodMic USB provides the pristine yet natural sound you need.

Onboard Processing for Instant Studio-Quality Results

The PodMic USB features onboard processing powered by RØDE's ultralow noise Revolution Preamp and powerful APHEX processing. The preamp provides high gain, low distortion and a wide dynamic range. APHEX processing includes a compressor, noise gate, high-pass filter, Aural Exciter and Big Bottom. This advanced digital signal processing shapes and enhances your recordings to sound as if they were captured in a professional recording studio. With the PodMic USB, you get radio-ready results instantly with no need for post-processing.

Everything You Need to Get Started

The PodMic USB comes with all the accessories you need to start recording and creating content right away. An integrated pop filter reduces plosives for clear speech while an internal shockmount isolates the mic from vibrations and handling noise. Additionally a swing mount allows you to easily position and angle the mic. RØDE also includes a 9.8' USB-C cable so you have ample length to connect to your interface or computer. To help you get the most from your new mic, RØDE provides free access to their suite of recording apps including RØDE Connect for controlling mic settings, RØDE Capture for recording on mobile devices and RØDE Central for firmware updates and more.
