Podcasters looking for the right mic to bring professional-quality sound to their productions on YouTube, FaceBook, Twitch, and elsewhere have a great option with the PodMic from Rode. This cost-effective stylish end-address dynamic XLR microphone is specifically tuned for speech and broadcast. Tailor-made for use with the RODECaster Pro podcast production studio and PSA1 broadcast arm, it can also be plugged into a wide range of pro-audio gear to deliver broadcast-quality sound.
Podcast in Any Environment
Most podcasts happen in bedrooms, home studios, or offices with less than perfect acoustics and noises coming from the outside. The PodMic features a dynamic capsule with a tight cardioid polar pattern, great for picking up the speaker while reducing unwanted sounds that are further away or off to the sides.
Get Close to Your Mic
With its end-address design, the PodMic invites you to get right up close and create intimate broadcast-style voice recordings with a deep and warm tone. Its compact size lets you and your guests see each other and enjoy an open and comfortable talking experience, while the mic stays out of the camera's way when videocasting.
Built to Last
Solid-brass construction with a hard-wearing matte-black ceramic finish ensures that the PodMic will continue to deliver the same level of performance over the years, while still looking great.
Clean Speech without Distractions
The PodMic's internal pop filter and double-mesh housing work to effectively reduce distracting breath and plosive noises (as in s, p, and b sounds) without the need for an unsightly external pop filter.
Protect Your Sound from Vibrations
The internal shockmount helps to isolate the PodMic from handling noise and vibrations when you are adjusting the mic or if there's a bump or knock on the table. The integrated swing mount that holds the mic further insulates it from low-frequency noises, which could ruin your audio.
Swing into the Right Position
The PodMic has two wing nuts on each side of its built-in mount, allowing you to quickly swing the mic into the right orientation and lock it into place. Mounting the PodMic on the PSA1 broadcast boom arm (available separately) gives you the added flexibility to position the microphone exactly where you want it.
Get Professional Results
Pair the PodMic with the powerful RODECaster Pro podcast production studio to leverage the most out of your microphone. Select the PodMic microphone preset in the RODECaster Pro audio options and matching digital signal processing is automatically applied, giving your voice the depth, presence, and hint of shimmer associated with top professional radio broadcasters.
Sound quality, rugged construction.
No
The Rode PodMic is a fantastic offering for podcasters and streamers. It handles sound perfectly, capturing voices with surprising clarity and warmth thanks to its narrow cardioid pattern that effectively suppresses background noise. Its sound quality, rugged construction and simple operation make it an attractive choice for those looking to improve their sound quality.
For this money, there are no complaints about the sound. Even if he cost 15-20k there would be no complaints. How they managed to make such an assembly, sound quality and design for this money, this cannot be amenable to my mind! Well, everything is cool in him! With the preamp generally a fabulous microphone!
Well I do not know! There is none of them!!!!
Necessarily to it is a microphone preamp not lower than DBX, or Ultravoice UV1 and will sound like on the radio!
Mike is dynamic, requires about 47-48DB reinforcement!
And once I had a Shure SM7B which is 4 times more expensive! And in sound the difference is not great, honestly I will say!

Good quality for your price
Black paint is easily scratched
A worthy decision to record a voice. The task was to assemble a studio for recording a podcast for 4 people with a budget of up to 100 tr. Bought 4 Rode pod-mic + racks Rode DS1 and Rodecaster Pro as the main device for recording. It works perfectly in conjunction, as they say, Plug and Play. For complete happiness, it remains to buy wind protection, but also built into the microphone, in principle, copes well.
