full, silky and balanced. Thanks to XLR and USB connections, the PodMic USB can be used flexibly. You can either use it in the classic way via XLR with a good preamp/audio interface or you can use the USB-C socket to digitally connect the microphone signal to a computer or a smartphone or iPhone®. The audio interface built into the PodMic USB is first-class - with a powerful, yet ultra-low noise preamp and audiophile A/D converters.
To the left of the USB-C port is a 3.5 mm headphone jack, so you can hear yourself while recording without latency (direct monitoring). The headphone volume control has an integrated push button that allows you to switch from direct monitoring to computer signal. An LED under the USB-C connector indicates the respective status: green = microphone signal (direct monitoring) and red = signal from the computer or mobile device. The PodMic USB also contains a DSP chip with high-pass filter, noise gate, compressor and Aphex® that can be activated via the RØDE Connect software (see below).
Weighing just under 1 kg, the PodMic USB has a boom mount that allows it to be attached to a table stand or microphone boom and then conveniently pointed towards the speaker. There is no need for a spider, the microphone capsule itself is elastically suspended and the swivel mount is internally decoupled from the body, so there are no problems with structure-borne noise. The PodMic USB is picked up from the front, a distance of approx. 3 to 20 cm is optimal. As a dynamic microphone, the PodMic USB is much less sensitive than a condenser microphone - ideal for studios and recording rooms where ambient noise is a problem.
The PodMic USB can be updated with the latest firmware using RØDE's free Central configuration software. Using RØDE's free streaming/recording software, RØDE Connect, you can use the microphone's built-in DSP chip to process the signal inside the microphone - an ideal feature for podcasters and streamers.
The PodMic USB's housing is made of solid brass with a scratch-resistant ceramic coating, while the double-layered pickup basket is made of stainless steel. The PodMic USB is manufactured by RØDE in Silverwater, Sydney. It comes with a clip-on foam pop shield and a 3m USB-C to USB-C cable.
