• DUAL-OUTPUT BROADCAST PODCAST KIT — USB-C AND XLR MICROPHONE, DESKTOP BOOM ARM, AND XLR CABLE: Running a podcast on a laptop today and a mixer tomorrow needs a microphone that does both — plus a desktop boom that swings into talking position and a balanced cable for when the mixer arrives. This bundle pairs the Rode PodMic USB with the StreamEye BOOMARM1 27-inch desktop boom arm and a 10-foot balanced XLR cable. Podcasters, live streamers, voice-over artists, and broadcast hosts — plug in over USB-C today, plug into a mixer when you scale.
• DYNAMIC BROADCAST MICROPHONE WITH SIMULTANEOUS USB-C AND XLR OUTPUT: Built for podcasters, live streamers, voice-over artists, and broadcast hosts, the Rode PodMic USB delivers cardioid dynamic broadcast sound through USB-C to a laptop AND a balanced XLR output to a mixer — at the same time, from the same body. The only dual-output dynamic podcast microphone with onboard APHEX DSP.
• ONBOARD APHEX DSP — NOISE GATE, COMPRESSOR, AND AURAL EXCITER FOR PODCASTING, STREAMING, AND VOICE-OVER: The PodMic USB carries APHEX-licensed DSP onboard: a noise gate silences keyboard noise between phrases, a compressor evens out volume for podcast-ready consistency, Aural Exciter and Big Bottom add air and warmth, and a high-pass filter rolls off rumble. Broadcast-ready voice straight to the laptop.
• CARDIOID DYNAMIC CAPSULE WITH 24-BIT USB AUDIO AND 3.5MM HEADPHONE MONITORING: The PodMic USB’s cardioid dynamic capsule covers 20 Hz to 20 kHz with the tight rejection a podcast needs in an untreated room. 24-bit/48 kHz USB output. Onboard 3.5mm headphone jack with zero-latency direct monitoring lets the host hear the processed signal in real time without a DAW round-trip.
• BOOMARM1 27-INCH ALUMINUM DESKTOP BOOM ARM — SILENT EXTERNAL TENSION SPRINGS: The BOOMARM1 reaches 27 inches across the desk on an aluminum-alloy frame and supports up to 2.8 lb of mic weight. Long-lasting external tension springs hold position silently — no metallic creak when the host reaches up mid-take. Detachable mic clip with 3/8-inch and 5/8-inch thread adapters.
