Offering a rich, full-bodied sound, with an internal pop filter for minimizing plosives and an internal shock mount for reducing vibrations, the PodMic will take your content to the next level. It is also suitable for use in radio, radio plays, and synchronous studios. The PodMic White is perfectly tuned for voice transmission, delivering a rich, detailed, silky, and balanced sound. The case is made of solid brass, and the robust microphone weighs just under 1 kg. The PodMic White has its own swiveling mounting, which allows it to be fixed at a table stand or microphone arm and then aligned comfortably to the speaker. The microphone capsule itself is elastic, and the swivel mounting plate is internally decoupled from the body to prevent body noise. The optimal distance for speaking into the PodMic is approximately 3 to 20 cm. As a dynamic microphone, the PodMic White is less sensitive than a condenser microphone, making it ideal for studios and speaker rooms with ambient noise. The two-layer, one-piece basket is made of stainless steel, and a fabric layer above the capsule diffuses plosive sounds without impairing transparency. For close-up use, an optional WS14 pop filter is recommended. The PodMic from Rode is a broadcast-grade dynamic microphone designed for podcast applications. With a built-in pop filter and a rich, even sound, it will give your voice a silky, professional quality. The PodMic can be used with any XLR interface but is optimized for use with the Rodecaster Pro. Whether your podcast features screaming sports commentary or intimate poetry readings, the PodMic will deliver a balanced, easy-to-listen-to vocal tone that your listeners will love.
