RØDE PodMic Cardioid Dynamic Broadcast Microphone
The RØDE PodMic is a professional dynamic microphone designed for podcasting, broadcasting, livestreaming and other speech-focused recording applications. It delivers a rich, balanced vocal sound while helping reduce unwanted background noise through its cardioid pickup pattern.
Built with an internal pop filter, internal shock-mounting system and integrated swing mount, the PodMic provides practical features for recording clear and consistent audio. Its robust all-metal construction also makes it suitable for regular use in home studios, professional podcast studios and broadcasting environments.
With its standard XLR output, the PodMic connects to compatible audio interfaces, mixers and podcast production consoles.
Broadcast-Quality Dynamic Microphone
The PodMic uses a dynamic microphone capsule optimised for spoken-word recording. It captures vocals with a rich, balanced sound, making it suitable for podcast hosts, interviewers, presenters, streamers and voice-over artists.
Its dynamic design is particularly useful in recording environments where controlling unwanted room noise is important.
Cardioid Polar Pattern for Focused Voice Capture
The cardioid pickup pattern is designed to capture sound primarily from the front of the microphone while reducing sensitivity to sound arriving from the rear.
This helps isolate the speaker’s voice and minimise unwanted surrounding noise, making the PodMic suitable for recording in home studios and other less-than-ideal acoustic environments.
For the best results, position the microphone correctly and speak towards its front recording area.
Internal Pop Filter for Cleaner Vocals
The PodMic features an integrated pop filter designed to minimise plosive sounds caused by strong bursts of air when pronouncing letters such as P and B.
This helps produce cleaner vocal recordings without requiring an additional external pop filter for normal use.
Internal Shock Mounting and Integrated Swing Mount
The microphone incorporates an internal shock-mounting system that helps reduce vibrations and handling noise transmitted through its mounting arrangement.
Its integrated swing mount makes it easy to position the microphone at a comfortable recording angle. The mount also provides convenient adjustment for podcast desks and broadcasting setups.
The internal mounting design means a separate external shock mount is not normally required.
Durable All-Metal Construction
The RØDE PodMic features a robust all-metal body and hard-wearing stainless steel mesh grille. Its construction is designed to withstand the demands of regular recording and broadcasting use.
The professional build makes it suitable for home recording spaces, podcast studios and commercial production environments.
Professional XLR Connectivity
The PodMic uses a standard 3-pin XLR output connection for integration with compatible recording equipment.
You can connect it to:
- Audio interfaces with XLR microphone inputs
- Podcast mixers and production consoles
- Compatible professional mixing desks
- Broadcast recording equipment
The microphone does not connect directly to a computer through USB. A compatible audio interface or mixer is required when recording directly into computer-based software.
What You Need to Get Started
To use the RØDE PodMic, you will need:
- An audio interface, mixer or podcast production console with an XLR microphone input.
- A compatible 3-pin XLR microphone cable.
- A computer or recording device if you intend to record digitally.
- Headphones for monitoring your recordings.
- A compatible microphone stand or boom-arm setup.
The PodMic does not require phantom power. However, because it is a dynamic microphone, a suitable microphone preamplifier with sufficient gain is important for achieving appropriate recording levels.
