The RODE PodMic is a dynamic cardioid broadcast microphone with a rich, warm radio voice, on hire from Rentitem.lk in Colombo.
It plugs into an interface or mixer over XLR and is built for podcasting, streaming, voiceover and radio.
The RODE PodMic is a dynamic broadcast microphone from Australian audio maker RODE, finished in black.
It uses a dynamic capsule with a tight cardioid pickup pattern, so it captures the one voice directly in front of it and rejects room reflections, keyboard clatter and off-axis noise.
That makes it forgiving in ordinary, untreated rooms where a sensitive condenser would pick up too much.
Its 20Hz to 20kHz response is tuned for spoken word, giving a full low end and clear presence in the mids for the classic broadcast sound.
A built-in pop filter tames plosive B and P bursts without an extra accessory, an internal shock mount reduces desk and handling rumble, and an integrated swing mount threads straight onto a standard boom arm or desk stand.
One important point: the PodMic has an XLR output only, so it is not a plug-and-play USB microphone.
To hear and record it you need an audio interface or mixer with a clean, high-gain mic preamp, plus an XLR cable to connect the two.
Being a dynamic mic it does not need phantom power, but it does like a preamp with plenty of quiet gain to sound its best.
It is an end-address desk or boom microphone for a fixed position in front of a speaker, not a handheld stage or roving mic.
If you do not already have an interface, mixer or XLR cable, add them to your rental and we will send a complete, ready-to-record chain.
