RØDE broadcast dynamic mics
RØDE PodMic USB vs PodMic
Both are end-address dynamic broadcast mics with a cardioid pattern, an internal pop filter, an internal shock mount and a swing mount. The PodMic has an XLR output only, for a RØDECaster, mixer or interface. The PodMic USB adds a USB-C output with a Revolution Preamp, APHEX processing and a zero-latency headphone jack, so it also plugs straight into a computer or phone.
