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 superflexible 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, anyway 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.

A Classic, Revisited

The PodMic USB delivers the same great sound quality and compact-yet-rugged form factor as the successful PodMic, but adds a sleek new finish, a studio-grade internal pop filter, and a new USB-C output.
Now you can connect to virtually any audio gear, from analog mixers, interfaces, and preamps, to digital recorders, computers, and mobile devices, letting you record from the comfort of your home studio or out and about with ease.
With the USB-C connection, you can also unlock a plethora of next-generation RODE features, including powerful DSP processing that will make your vocal recordings and streams shine.

Pro Sound When Creativity Calls

Featuring a high-power neodymium capsule, the PodMic USB delivers warm yet highly detailed audio with incredible clarity, making it exceptional in speech applications.
The mic features an internal pop filter along with a studio-quality external pop filter for minimizing plosives and making sure you capture crisp, clean audio every time.
The mic's internal shockmount helps reduce vibrations and eliminate low-end thuds and similar distracting handling noises.
Powerful on-board DSP (Digital Signal Processing) powered by APHEX makes it easy to capture professional sounding audio.
Use VoxLab to quickly dial in the perfect sound, or dive deep into the granular controls for the high-pass filter, noise gate, compressor, and the legendary Aural Exciter and Big Bottom.
Monitor your audio with zero latency thanks to the headphone output, complete with onboard level control for adjusting the volume of your audio.
