Unmatched Wind Protection For Live Sound And Broadcast Clarity

Eliminate disruptive plosive sounds and elevate your vocal presence with the Rode WS14 Pop Filter. Designed specifically for Rode’s handheld microphones like the Reporter and PodMic USB, the WS14 delivers studio-quality clarity even in the noisiest environments. Whether you’re on stage, in the field, or recording for your audience, this high-density foam shield ensures your voice remains clear, crisp, and natural—free from harsh ‘p’ and ‘b’ pops. Its acoustically transparent structure maintains the full frequency spectrum while minimizing wind interference and breath noise, making it an essential tool for professional content creators, journalists, and performers. Experience the difference with every word—because your voice deserves nothing less.

• PODMIC USB DESKTOP RECORDING KIT — DUAL XLR + USB-C MIC WITH BLACK EXTERNAL POP FILTER: Studio recording on the PodMic USB needs more than the mic alone — you need plosive defense beyond the internal filter, especially for hard P, B, and T consonants close to the capsule. This bundle pairs the PodMic USB broadcast microphone with the WS14 external pop filter in stock black. Podcasters, voice-over artists, audiobook narrators, and broadcast streamers — plug in and record.
• USB CONDENSER-CLASS BROADCAST MICROPHONE WITH DUAL XLR AND USB-C OUTPUTS: Built for podcasters, streamers, voice-over artists, and broadcast hosts who want one mic for both interface-connected and direct-to-computer workflows, the PodMic USB delivers a tight cardioid dynamic capsule, the Revolution Preamp for clean 24-bit USB gain, and onboard APHEX DSP that processes the signal before it leaves the mic. Plug in and record.
• CARDIOID DYNAMIC CAPSULE FOR PODCASTING, STREAMING, AND VOICE OVER: The PodMic’s dynamic cardioid capsule rejects off-axis room sound aggressively — keyboard clatter, fan hum, and untreated room reflections drop out of the pickup pattern. 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response delivers full broadcast voice quality. Tight pickup keeps the take clean even in untreated home studios.
• REVOLUTION PREAMP + APHEX DSP — BROADCAST PROCESSING INSIDE THE MIC: The Revolution Preamp delivers ultra-low noise high-gain on the USB-C path — broadcast-quality 24-bit/48kHz audio with no standalone interface. Onboard APHEX DSP runs a high-pass filter, noise gate, compressor, Aural Exciter, and Big Bottom — settings retained in firmware so the processed profile travels with the mic.
• WS14 BLACK POP FILTER — A 4.8-IN HIGH-DENSITY EXTERNAL WINDSCREEN PURPOSE-BUILT FOR PODMIC: The WS14 slides over the PodMic body and locks in position via internal supporting ribs. 4.8 in length, 2.8 in diameter, 1.2 oz — adds negligible weight to the mic. High-density acoustic foam catches hard P, B, and T plosives the internal pop filter misses. Black is the stock broadcast colorway, neutral on camera.
