Rode PodMic (2019)

The Rode PodMic is a budget broadcast-style cardioid dynamic microphone designed for podcasting and voice work. It has a single 3-pin XLR output and an internal pop filter, so it needs an external interface or mixer (such as the Rode AI-1 or RODECaster Pro) to reach a computer. The all-metal housing weighs 937g and includes an integrated swing mount.
