PodMic USB Versatile Dynamic Broadcast Microphone with XLR and USB Connectivity for Podcasting, Streaming, Gaming, Music Creation and Content Creation

Easy to use great quality even with the USBC connection. It's heavy to and build quality is superb.

Excellent mic, does what it says on the tin, well made

Great product. I’m amazed at how much it has elevated my voice—more clarity and tone.

Good Mic. Leaving this review as none of the picture reviews had the white version. I’m using the PSA1+ mic arm with it.

Worked fine for a couple of months and then just stopped picking up sound after about 3 months. Literally only recorded 6 podcasts with it. Would recommend looking elsewhere.

I upgraded to this from a Blue Yeti and I'm pleased I did. Also pleased I got it cheaper via the Amazon Marketplace! I wanted it so I can record YouTube videos - I play woodwind instruments and also talk about the music, so I wanted a mic that could handle both in a way that sounded good, for voice AND musical instruments, resulting in recordings which don't need much tweaking on my video editing software. I'd also done a lot of research on this mic and liked the way you seem to get as good a mic with USB-C as the XLR version. Out of the box on connecting to my Asus laptop with Windows 11, the result was...... NOTHING!!! I spent AGES googling for solutions and trawling through YouTube videos. In the end I discovered you have to disable a couple of Intel audio settings in the laptop setup! Then it worked. Just. So I googled software options. RODE produce at least 3, all of which I downloaded, but ended up opting for RODE Unify as not only can you tweak the settings on the mic (see misc YouTube videos) but you can record too. With the Blue Yeti I'd used Audacity, but the RODE PodMic USB recorded REALLY QUIETLY regardless of how many tweaks I did on Audacity, so I'm actually finding that the Unifty software does the job for me. I record using it and then export the file to my choice of folder which I then upload into my video editing software along with the visuals to make videos. I use PowerDirector, and was delighted to discover that the recordings required pretty much no tweaking to get the right sound. All I needed to do was to increase the volume on the track. I wanted a mic where I could talk, then play music, then talk, without having to tweak the voice and music separately. Once I'd got the settings right on Unify, after quite a bit of testing, it's all worked out really well. Both voice (talking) and woodwind instrument (alto baroque recorder) sound great. The mic also screws into an existing boom arm I have which is good, too. It doesn't come supplied with a stand. So to conclude: once you've worked out how to set it up, get it working and get the right settings for you, this is a really good mic. Straight out of the box and plugged into the Asus laptop with Windows 11, it DOES NOT WORK until you fiddle with the Intel settings and download RODE software like Unify.

An amazing microphone that comes with a pop filter and really easy to setup! With the correct settings, this is one of the best XLR/USB mic out there!

I am an online content creator and I also have the Shure SM7B. I find this microphone to be the best alternative to the Shure in terms of sound and quality. Where the original caused listening fatigue after a while this new version addresses that issue with a much warmer and fuller sound. XLR versus USBC connection offers minimal sound variation ( I use this with a Mac Studio M1 Max ) and in fact arguably the USBC sounds slightly nicer in my opinion…although I appreciate that preference in sound is subjective. Al round a very VERY good microphone

The White Color is not white as indicated from the photos, instead you get an off white kinda warm tone. Beware of that. Audio quality: its good, you get what you paid for.

O microfone realmente tem um diferencial. Utilizei diretamente no meu smartphone pela conexão USB-C e supriu todas as minhas necessidades. Entrei no site da RODE e cadastrei o produto e a garantia ficou em 5 anos. Sensacional!

OKAY. If I were reviewing just this microphone, I would have 0 complaints. It's perfect from top to bottom. However, I do have 2 complaints that have knocked this down a star. 1) The microphone came with very minor marks which makes me wonder if this was opened or if it missed inspection somehow, or was used. It is white which does make it a little obvious. 2) This is an expensive microphone. I do not intend to buy another one and certainly will not get just to have it in another color. Why did I order a white microphone and it comes packed with a black pop filter? Do I need to buy the matching color separately if I want it to match? Was this a mistake? If it isn't, this is ridiculous to me. If I ordered a white-bodied microphone it should be standard issue to come with a matching pop filter. If this is a money grab, it right pisses me off for such an expensive product. Even 30-dollar shoes come with properly matched shoe laces.

XLRのダイナミックマイクということで、MV7をXLR接続で使っていたものを周囲の色に合わせるべく気分転換で交換して使用してみました。ゲインはstream deckのドック内蔵（40db程度に調整）のものに接続して使用しています。 ※設置 このマイクはダイナミックなので離しすぎはだめですが、真正面至近に置かなくても、口の斜め前方で問題なく使用できます。設置についても、スイングマウントのおかげでかなり自由度が高いです。ネジを緩めずに、微妙な向きを垂直水平方向ともにヌルヌル動いてピタッと決めることができます。角度調整は自由自在です。 ※音 MV7と比べて質が劣るわけでもなく、とても気に入っています。鋭い冷たい音とは異なり、温かいもわっとした音ですかね。 マイクの直下に設置しているうるさいキーボードで打鍵しましたが、ほとんどカチカチした雑音を拾いませんでした。天面から収音するエンドアドレスタイプなので、マイク本体直下に設置しているキーボードからは音を拾いずらいのでしょう。私の場合はマイク使用中にキーボードをたたくシチュエーションがまれにあるので、とても助かります。配信される方なんか最高じゃないですかと思います。 ※その他 ・・・とても重いです！本体だけで900g程度ありました。材質も鉄の塊ですから仕方ありません。。。 どのメーカーのアームを使用するのかは注意が必要です。無名の安物アームは注意が必要ですね。頭が垂れると思います。私はstream deckのロープロファイル白アームを使用していますが、余裕で支えています。

The PodMic USB is awesome. It looks fantastic RØDE really know how to make a professional-looking mic — and the build quality is solid. Perfect for podcasting, streaming, or voice recording, and I’ve even used it on location where it performed beautifully. The sound is clear, rich, and broadcast quality. Having both XLR and USB connectivity makes it super versatile for different setups. A brilliant mic at a great price point.
