Rode PodMic Cardioid Dynamic Broadcast Microphone with On-Stage Stands MS7701B Tripod Mic Stand and XLR Cable

Delving into the podcasting world, I recently got my hands on the Rode PodMic Dynamic Podcast Microphone, and what a game-changer it's been! From the moment I unboxed it, I knew it was a match made in podcast heaven.Firstly, the build quality is phenomenal – it has a solid, robust feel, indicative of its durability, without being overly heavy. The compact size is perfect for my somewhat crowded desk, but don’t let the size fool you. When it comes to performance, this mic is all about delivering big, professional sound.The audio quality is where the PodMic shines the brightest. My recordings are crystal clear, with a notable reduction in background noise, something my previous mics struggled with. The richness of the sound, whether I'm in animated discussions or conducting intimate interviews, is consistent and impressive.Installation and setup were straightforward, no labyrinth of instructions to follow. It integrated with my existing setup seamlessly, which was a huge plus. And aesthetically, it's sleek and professional, adding a touch of serious podcaster vibes to my workspace.For those looking to elevate their podcasting journey, the Rode PodMic is a no-brainer. It's affordability meeting professional quality at its finest. My podcasts have never sounded better!

I've been trying different microphones for podcast interviews and voiceovers for screen recordings and haven't found a good one until I finally decided to try this one. It doesn't disappoint. It's clear, good quality, and sounds nice. I use it with a Scarlett 2i2 audio interface with an XLR splitter for both left and right channels. It sounds awesome.

I've noticed alot of Podcasters and youtubers with mic. Which is why I decided to try it out. I was using a movo mic before. Terrible quality. Horrible sound. This mic however is everything I was looking for. The sound is amazing! Very sturdy and strong build. The mic and stand together weigh about 10 lbs. Which I like very much. If you're looking for a mic that will last, just save up a bit and get this one. Don't buy a cheap one because you want to get started asap. Trust me it's better to have quality audio then waste money on trash.

I like it

So, I wanted a RODE mic for a very long time, I’m a musician who plays Christian Black Metal 🎸 🤘🏻I didn’t think 🤔 there’d be a cheaper RODE mic. 🎤 I originally thought 💭 of a $250-$700 mic 🎙️, but after seeing good and bad reviews on higher end mics you’re not getting away from that anymore. Why not save some money 💴 and buy a Pod dynamic mic 🎙️ ? It’s cheaper has MOSTLY high reviews instead of low reviews and it has a built in pop filter which works AMAZING 🤩. Just like cheaper other brands of guitars 🎸 that work fine, cheaper 🎙️ mics work fine too, so far so good.The ONLY complaint I do have is everybody’s right about the boom 💥 arm being lighter than the actual mic 🎙️ itself. But I am keeping it for now and we’ll see what happens.One last thing, you have to turn this particular mic 🎙️ up higher on the interface you have because not all 🎙️ mics are the same.

Works great but picks up a lot of background noise. Has held up well. Others can hear me easily but can also hear what is happening all around me.

It is so clear, recommend over any other for podcasting! I love it for my youtube Thrive channel!

Paired with a focusrite scarlett and a Coda stealth preamp it works great. Get told all the time my mic sounds clean. Definitely need the preamp or a cloudlifter to boost the gain as is common with most xlr mics.
