PodMic USB and XLR Microphone Kit with Broadcast Arm Overview

RODE PodMic USB and XLR Dynamic Broadcast Microphone

Engineered to provide a versatile workhorse for podcasting, streaming, gaming, and content creation, the PodMic USB is one of the most flexible microphones ever made by RODE, delivering all of the robust features of the original dynamic PodMic but now with added USB-C connectivity, allowing you to use either analog or digital connections. When using the XLR output, the PodMic USB performs exactly like its predecessor, albeit with an improved studio-grade internal pop filter to help tame pesky plosives. When utilizing the USB-C output, you gain access to a range of superflexible features including a high-gain low-noise Revolution preamp, pristine-quality A/D conversion, and advanced DSP that adds professional APHEX vocal processing to your recordings.

With the appropriate adapters, the PodMic USB fully supports smartphones and tablets for recording anywhere, anyway you want. Listen to your signals with zero-latency onboard monitoring via the 3.5mm headphone output and a dedicated volume-control wheel. The PodMic USB is also fully compatible with the complete RODE software suite, including RODE Central, RODE Connect, RODE Capture, and UNIFY, making it easy to bring broadcast-quality audio to a wide range of applications.\

A Classic, Revisited

The PodMic USB delivers the same great sound quality and compact-yet-rugged form factor as the successful PodMic, but adds a sleek new finish, a studio-grade internal pop filter, and a new USB-C output.

Now you can connect to virtually any audio gear, from analog mixers, interfaces, and preamps, to digital recorders, computers, and mobile devices, letting you record from the comfort of your home studio or out and about with ease.

With the USB-C connection, you can also unlock a plethora of next-generation RODE features, including powerful DSP processing that will make your vocal recordings and streams shine.

Pro Sound When Creativity Calls

Featuring a high-power neodymium capsule, the PodMic USB delivers warm yet highly detailed audio with incredible clarity, making it exceptional in speech applications.

The mic features an internal pop filter along with a studio-quality external pop filter for minimizing plosives and making sure you capture crisp, clean audio every time.

The mic's internal shockmount helps reduce vibrations and eliminate low-end thuds and similar distracting handling noises.

Powerful on-board DSP (Digital Signal Processing) powered by APHEX makes it easy to capture professional sounding audio.

Use VoxLab to quickly dial in the perfect sound, or dive deep into the granular controls for the high-pass filter, noise gate, compressor, and the legendary Aural Exciter and Big Bottom.

Monitor your audio with zero latency thanks to the headphone output, complete with onboard level control for adjusting the volume of your audio.

Unlock More Creative Potential with the RØDE App Suite

RØDE Central is an easy-to-use companion app for your PodMic USB, giving you access to advanced processing, input gain, firmware updates, and more.

RØDE Connect is a simple and powerful software solution for podcasting with your PodMic USB, allowing you to connect and record up to four RØDE USB microphones at once.

UNIFY is the ultimate virtual mixing software for streaming with your PodMic USB, giving you complete flexibility over your audio routing and mixing in one intuitive interface.

RØDE Capture is an intuitive iOS video app with creative features like dual cam mode and in-app access to your RØDE microphone’s settings.

Auray BAI-2N Two-Section Broadcast Arm with Internal Springs

The Auray BAI-2N is a two-section broadcast arm with internal springs . This versatile and sturdy broadcast arm is great for studio as well as home use. It's ideal for broadcast, voiceover, and podcasts.

The BAI-2N broadcast arm is designed with internal springs that provide a clean and sleek look. The internal balance springs are precision engineered to support and hold in place microphones of up to 5 lb / 2.27kg. The design also minimizes handling noise when re-positioning the arm. The broadcast arm features a standard 5/8"-27 microphone stud mount that is compatible with most shockmounts and microphone clips. The angle of the microphone stud mount can be adjusted and secured with the locking knob, and the angle is maintained when re-positioning the arm. This eliminates the need to readjust it every time the arm is moved. With an extension of up to 40 inches, and the ability to rotate the arm 360°, the BAI-2N allows for precise microphone placement.

The BAI-2N also features a heavy-duty combo mount that consists of a sturdy C-clamp and a heavy-metal desktop mount. The C-clamp is capable of fastening onto desktops up to 2.3" thick. The C-clamp's slim design minimizes the clearance needed to mount it between a desk and wall. The desktop mount detaches from the C-clamp and provides the option of permanent installation to a desktop with the mounting screws (included). A 14" riser is included for adding height to the broadcast arm in order to extend over computer or studio monitors.
