RØDE - PODMIC Dynamic Podcasting Microphone

Great Mic for the price. I paired mine with other Rode products and gets the job done for all my voice recording needs

Exactly what I needed! Mic has a great sound plugged into my Focusrite Scarlet Solo. I will say my gain is turned up more than I’d like and I do recommend using a preamp as well like “cloudlifter”. Mic is heavy so make sure your mic arm is sturdy or it will likely drop down a lot. Perfect mic for podcasts or streaming.

I bought 4 Rode Podmics for my podcast I'm gonna kick off. I bought this along with the Rodecaster Pro (a must have!) This microphones has such an amazing quality in sound. The rodecaster pro has a feature that gives you that Joe Rogan sound and mutes all the outside noises. Happy with these mics. I almost spent 400 per microphone... I'm so glad I didn't.

I use this with a rode pop filter, mostly for discord and zoom meetings. The quality of this mic is insanely good (both sound and build quality). The only downside is the pop filter that is build inside the mic (doesn't work really well). So I had to put an ugly pop filter over the mic (the mic itself looks so good) for the best sound quality.

I wanted to upgrade my mic to an XLR setup. This mic was fantastic to get up and running. It’s built like a tank and looks great. Sound quality is exceptional for what you pay for. I would highly recommend this mic to someone who wants to get into podcasting or streaming.

For streaming and podcasting, many newcomers tend to eye the much more expensive Shure SM7B--if only to emulate their favorite content creators. While that is a tremendously high-quality microphone, it's intended to be used for professional recording studios. Therefore it's priced at $399/499, and with that it gives you the widest range possible in a recording device. For a quarter of that price, the Rode Podmic broke out into the scene in mid-2019 to shake up the dynamic microphone market and it's taken it completely by storm. For many content creators, the Podmic hits well above its weight class. Like all XLR microphones, the Podmic needs to be plugged into an accompanying audio mixer. Rode offers their own with the Rodecaster Pro, which has settings specifically tailored for the Podmic. I use a GoXLR, which is specifically made for content production and therefore has sufficient levels of gain to be able to drive the Podmic. EQ doesn't need to be changed much but that depends entirely on your vocal range. By default it already sounds natural. I was at first not too keen on how short and stout it looked when placed in front of me but that lack of length actually benefits my setup. There's no concern of accidentally hitting the bottom of the microphone if I move my arm across underneath it in order to access my keyboard or if I need to use my right hand for anything other than the mouse. So if you're looking for a great microphone for streaming, honestly look no further. Not only does the microphone look great with any setup, its weight will make it suitable for use on any microphone stand--even the Blue Compass, which has notoriously high tension. If you really do want the Shure SM7B, use this microphone as a stepping stone towards that goal for the best audio at this price right out the gate. You might end up using this for way longer and you'll more than likely forget about spending $399 on a microphone that might not provide much more than this little beast does.

The Rode - PodMic works really great and itis affordable. The settings were already pre-built in my RodeCaster Pro Audio Mixer. As a teacher, I really needed to make sure that my students can hear me clearly and properly while learning remotely. Making lessons really engaging is my number one priority for our kids.

This is a great pod mic and a great price plus it’s like built like a tank. I love it.
