Pattern Name: Microphone Style: PodMic
The Rode PodMic is a dynamic microphone, the holy grail for many podcasters and streamers. Priced at around $99, it promises broadcast-quality audio at an almost embarrassingly affordable price point. But does it live up to the hype? Let's dive in. First Impressions: The PodMic feels like a tank. Its sleek black metal body and sturdy mesh grille scream quality. It's surprisingly heavy for its size, which inspires confidence in its durability. The included swivel mount offers decent adjustability, and the internal pop filter is a thoughtful touch. Sound Quality: The PodMic shines in the sound department. It captures voices with remarkable clarity and warmth, thanks to its tight cardioid polar pattern that effectively rejects background noise. It's particularly flattering to speech, adding a touch of richness without being boomy. Compared to condenser mics, the PodMic is less sensitive to sibilance and plosives, making it more forgiving for less-than-perfect recording environments. However, the PodMic is a low-output microphone. This means it requires more gain to achieve the same volume level as other mics. This can lead to increased noise if your preamp or audio interface isn't particularly clean. Features and Ease of Use: The PodMic is a plug-and-play XLR microphone, meaning you'll need an audio interface to connect it to your computer. No fancy buttons or dials here – it's all about pure, unadulterated sound quality. This simplicity is refreshing, but some users might miss the bells and whistles found on pricier mics. The Nitty-Gritty: While the PodMic is fantastic for its price, it's not without its quirks. Here are a few things to keep in mind: Requires an audio interface: No USB option here, so factor in the cost of an interface if you don't already have one. Low output: You'll need to crank up the gain, potentially introducing noise. No monitoring: No built-in headphone jack, so you'll need to monitor through your recording software. Limited accessories: The basic package includes only the mic and mount. You'll need to purchase a pop filter and mic arm separately for optimal results. Verdict: Overall, the Rode PodMic is a fantastic value proposition for podcasters and streamers on a budget. Its broadcast-quality sound, rugged build, and simple operation make it a compelling choice for anyone looking to up their audio game. Just be aware of the low output and XLR requirement before you dive in. Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars ... show more

    • How is this only $99?
Pattern Name: Microphone Style: PodMic
Review Image by nj nj
I've been using Sennheiser headset mics and Modmics forever, primarily for Discord gaming and Teams remote work. While they did the job, I often got complaints about background noise, inconsistent audio levels, and I cringed listening to myself. I finally upgraded to the PodMic with a Wave XLR interface. This thing is a WORLD apart in quality, I easily have the best audio now in every game lobby or meeting. It rejects background noise very well and is extremely clear and crisp, which has gotten a few compliments. I also love the cool design, compact build, and all metal construction - frankly, I still can't comprehend how it's only $99. ... show more

    • Exceptional mic for conference calls and remote work
Pattern Name: Microphone Style: PodMic USB
Wanted to upgrade from the built in iMac mic to a more professional sounding audio setup. I combined this mic with the Rode boom arm and it's been fantastic for home office use. The boom lets me keep the mic just off camera. Voice quality is rich and I've gotten multiple comments on how good the audio sounds. Even in a fairly acoustically optimal room, this has removed all echo and makes communication clear and crisp. Used Rode's free software for some tweaking and once you set it up, the settings are stored on the mic itself so you no longer have to think about it. Great mic and worth the investment. ... show more

I originally purchased this mic for a class that I am taking over Zoom. I have had absolutely no problems with this, since I set it up. The audio is excellent and I would recommend it to anyone desiring a Podcast or general purpose mic. Remember, the XLR mic requires an audio interface to use it with your computer. I am using the PodMic with a Behringer U-phoria UM2 with the desired results. This mic requires a stand. I went with the Gator Frameworks desk/clamp boom. The mic is relatively light and the boom handles it with no problems. ... show more

    • Fantastic mic - make sure you order all necessary parts
Pattern Name: Microphone Style: PodMic
The mic is just a mic. No cables or anything else. Keep in mind that this is a dynamic mic, as opposed to a condenser mic. That means it picks up less background noise, but also means you need to set it up close to your mouth. Stuff you need or might want with this mic: -audio converter: converts the mic's xlr output to aux output (i use a scarlett solo, but i'm sure there are tons of good options) -xlr cable: connect this from your mic to an audio converter. you'll get very poor audio if you connect an audio jack or usb cable directly to your computer -usbc to aux cable: connect from your audio converter output to your computer (use whatever input makes sense) -pop filter: helps reduces extra noise from plosives and tbh looks cool -arm or stand: since this is a dynamic mic, it needs to be close to your mouth. set things up however works best for you, but make sure you're able to comfortably talk and see with mic very close to you. i'd recommend searching rode pod mic set up on youtube just to make sure you get all the necessary components to make the best of this mic. as a side note, i tried using a preamp (cloudlifter CL-1) to output into my audio converter (scarlett solo) and it made almost no difference. this mic is very high quality and i love how it sounds. ... show more

    • Best USB Microphone
Pattern Name: Microphone Style: PodMic USB
In my opinion this is probably the best value at this price. $200 gets you a quality microphone that can be used usb or xlr and if you’re wanting to use in usb mode it basically gives you the functionality of a rodecaster. The software effects really round out this microphone.

Pattern Name: Microphone Style: PodMic
I can’t pretend that this is simply a sm7b for a quarter of the cost, but it is still very high quality with a decent interface. I’ve been using the original rode caster pro and I love the sound quality. I haven’t found the need for a cloudlifter/other similar software, especially if you’re just buying into the system and get the rodecaster pro II or duo which has even better pre amps with even more clean gain. I bought a second one to expand the setup and would gladly buy two more if my use case required more inputs ... show more
