The Rode PodMic USB is a hybrid broadcast cardioid dynamic that pairs the original PodMic's voicing with a digital USB-C output and a 3.5mm headphone jack for zero-latency monitoring. The XLR output runs a clean analog signal; the USB-C output streams 24-bit/48 kHz audio with onboard APHEX DSP, allowing it to plug straight into a computer, phone, or tablet without an interface.
