Product Details
✓IN THE BOX: 1x Rode PodMic USB dynamic broadcast microphone, 1x Rode PSA1+ studio boom arm with desk clamp, desk insert, and 3/8-inch to 5/8-inch adaptor, 1x 10-foot balanced XLR cable. The microphone's own box adds a 9.8-foot SC29 USB-C cable, a WS14 black pop filter, and a rubber XLR port cover. A black desktop broadcast setup for podcasters and streamers.
✓USB-C TO A COMPUTER OR XLR TO AN INTERFACE: Both outputs sit on the microphone, so one cable records straight into a laptop today and the 3-pin output feeds a mixer or console whenever one arrives. The 24-bit/48 kHz digital path runs through a high-gain Revolution Preamp, driving the dynamic capsule to speaking level with no inline gain booster.
✓APHEX PROCESSING RUNS INSIDE THE MICROPHONE: A high-pass filter, noise gate, compressor, Aural Exciter, and Big Bottom are set once and stored in the mic, then travel with it to any computer, phone, or tablet with the app closed. The neodymium cardioid capsule covers 20 Hz to 20 kHz at 148 dB SPL, with self-noise of 19 dBA on the digital output.
✓PSA1+ ARM REPOSITIONS QUIETLY MID-TAKE: Fully damped springs and a neoprene cover let the mic swing 37 inches horizontally and 34 inches vertically without a creak reaching the capsule, and four clips along the top hide the cable run. A 0.2 to 2.7 lb load range holds the all-metal body steady, and both a padded clamp and a threaded desk insert are included.
✓ZERO-LATENCY MONITORING FROM THE MIC ITSELF: Headphones plug into the 3.5mm output, and pressing the Headphone Volume Control switches it on, with a rear LED glowing green while it is live. The 10-foot cable in the kit uses professional-grade cable and rugged connectors, so the XLR path is wired and ready the day an interface joins the desk.
