Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is Rode’s PodMic a USB microphone?
The Rode PodMic is comparable in price to many of the USB mics we review, however it does not connect via USB. Instead, the dynamic cardioid microphone, like other pro studio mics, captures an analogue signal via an XLR connector. -
Is phantom power required for using PodMic?
The microphone connects to your system through an XLR connection and does not require phantom power. While any high-quality microphone interface will give you amazing results, you’ll get the most out of your PodMic when you pair it with the powerful RDECaster Pro studio. -
Is the Rode PodMic suitable for vocals?
The Rode Podmic is optimized for podcast and broadcast use, as the name implies, which is why it’s one of my personal favorite mics for voice- overwork. It’s incredible what this microphone can do for such a little price, and I highly recommend checking it out. -
Is it possible to connect the rode PodMic to a computer?
We recommend utilizing an Audio Interface or Audio Mixer to connect your Rode PodMic to your PC. These solutions will provide the Rode PodMic with the right amount of amplification and convert everything to a digital signal for your PC. -
Is a shock mount required for the Rode PodMic?
The PodMic cannot be attached to an external shock mount due to the swing mount’s design. You don’t need to utilize a shock mount because the PodMic’s capsule is internally suspended and the swing mount is internally decoupled from the body. -
Is a Cloud lifter required for the Rode PodMic?
Absolutely. This microphone will benefit from any gain boost you can give it, and items like the Cloud lifter CL-1 are designed specifically for low- output mics like this.
