RODE X XCM-50 Compact USB-C Condenser Microphone
A Rode-Quality Condenser Mic for Gaming & Streaming
The Rode X XCM-50 is a compact USB-C microphone featuring built-in advanced DSP capabilities and designed to provide detailed speech and voice reproduction for streamers and gamers in search of professional-quality sound and easy plug-and-play operation. The condenser mic capsule features a cardioid polar pattern that focuses audio capture on the subject in front of the microphone, picking up less unwanted sound from the back and sides to ensure your audience and teammates hear you loud and clear. A yoke mount for easy attachment to a boom arm or mic stand is included, and the mount's 360° swivel action makes it easy to optimize the positioning for game play and broadcasting. A tripod stand is also included for tabletop use.
Plug-and-Play USB-C Connectivity with Headphone Monitoring
  • The XCM-50 is powered via the USB bus and offers 24-bit / 48 kHz analog to digital conversion, and Rode's powerful UNIFY audio software is included, which allows you to unlock additional features of the mic's powerful internal DSP and mix up to four USB microphones at once for podcasting and streaming applications.
  • A zero-latency 3.5mm headphone jack with volume control and mic mute button allows you to monitor your audio in real time, so you can hear exactly what the mic capsule is picking up. A 9.8' headphone extension cable is provided to give you ample room to move while you're podcasting or crushing it in your favorite game.
UNIFY Audio Software
Complete Control of Your Audio
  • The included UNIFY software gives you complete control of all your audio inputs and outputs in one intuitive mixer.
  • The intuitive software takes seconds to set up and is super easy to use, even with the most complex streaming or gaming setups, so you can go live with incredible audio in seconds.
  • Mix up to four microphones and six virtual audio devices, including your game, chat, music, system, and browser.
  • Seamlessly capture your livestream audio with UNIFY’s onboard recording functionality, then optimize it for major audio platforms. Record in stereo or multitrack for ultimate flexibility when creating content.
  • Create the perfect audio experience for your audience, your teammates, and yourself with independent sub-mixes for all your outputs. Monitor all sound sources in full definition.
Craft Your Own Sound
  • Customize the XCM-50's sound signature to suit your voice with advanced APHEX processing, including the legendary Aural Exciter and Big Bottom.
  • Remove background noise and make your audio sound smooth, detailed, and punchy with a compressor, noise gate, and high-pass filter.
  • Fine-tune to perfection with granular control over every processor, just like a professional audio mixing software.
  • When using UNIFY with a Rode X mic, all audio processing is managed by a powerful DSP chip inside the microphone, which takes a load off your CPU and means you hear everything in your headphones as it happens.

RODE NTH-100 Professional Closed-Back Over-Ear Headphones (Black)
Trust Your Ears
Monitor your audio confidently and comfortably with the black Rode NTH-100, a set of professional headphones that offers pro-grade sonic performance and build quality for all forms of content creation, including mixing, audio and video production, location recording, podcasting, streaming, and daily listening. Featuring custom-matched 40mm dynamic drivers in over-ear, closed-back earcups with precision-engineered acoustic construction, the NTH-100s deliver a balanced, "unhyped" tonal signature, clarity, and extended bandwidth, with excellent passive isolation from external sounds and no leakage into your room or microphones.
For the Sake of the Sound
  • Meticulously engineered and tuned, the NTH-100s reproduce the details and nuances of your audio, be it a single sound source, a mix in progress, or the final product.
  • The unique ergonomic earcups are contoured to the shape of the ear for superior acoustic performance, with memory foam cushions, ensuring excellent isolation from external noise.
  • Their low impedance and high sensitivity make them very easy to drive with any interface, mixer, headphone amplifier, or mobile device.
Precision-Matched Drivers
  • Each earcup features a custom voice coil with a four-layer core made of ultrahigh-tension aluminum alloy mated to a three-layer Mylar diaphragm.
  • Combined with a rare-earth neodymium magnet and an innovative phase plug inspired by the award-winning NTG5 microphone, these high-grade components ensure an accurate frequency and phase response across the whole audible spectrum for an incredibly articulate listening experience.
All-Day Listening Comfort
  • Crafted with comfort in mind, the NTH-100s feature ergonomic earcups with a bidirectional adjustment system and memory foam cushions.
  • In addition to ensuring excellent sound isolation, the headphones provide a custom-fit feel for any head size or shape, even for people who wear glasses.
  • The earpads and headband cushions are covered with Alcantara fabric, a premium material often used in sports cars and high-end fashion. It is supremely comfortable to the touch, highly breathable, and very soft.
  • The company's CoolTech gel is integrated into the cushions to absorb and dissipate heat, actively cooling your ears to reduce wearing fatigue—great for creators, mixing engineers, and podcasters working in long, arduous sessions.
The Same Fit Every Time
  • The headphones feature a fully adjustable headband with the company's innovative FitLok system, a locking mechanism that keeps the earcups positioned exactly the way you set them, so you get the same fit every time.
  • Even while wearing the headphones, a smooth turn of each side's FitLock is all it takes to lock or unlock the headband adjustment.
Flexible Cabling, Versatile Options
  • Ports on both the left and right earcups allow the cord to hang on either side while the locking connector prevents accidental disconnects.
  • The flexible, easy-roll cable is also highly durable, user-replaceable, and equipped with integrated strain relief.
  • Cable variants are available in 7.9 and 3.9' lengths and a variety of colors for maximum convenience and channel-specific color coding that matches the same four channel colors found in Rode Connect software and on the RODECaster Pro.
  • With a 3.5mm mini plug on the cable and an included screw-on 1/4" adapter, the NTH-100 are compatible with most playback devices and monitoring systems.
In It for the Long Haul
  • The stainless spring-steel headband was tested under pressure equal to 25 years of use, and the final construction was stressed with thousands of pulls, bends, tugs, rotations, and stretches. Plus, the headphones were subjected to environmental trials ranging from climate and water exposure to drop and scratch tests.
  • Wires used to link the earcups are rated to withstand more than 55 pounds of force, while the cable and earcup sockets are rated to more than 26 pounds of force.
  • Regardless of the cable ID rings you use or to which side you connect the cable, there are three points of earcup identification—small colored rings around the earcup wires, braille (raised dots) on each earcup, and L/R letters inside the earcups.
Modular Design to Customize Your NTH-100s
  • The NTH-100s feature a modular design: the earpads, headband, and cable are all user-customizable, with four colors available. This not only significantly increases the lifespan of the headphones, but also allows you to customize them to suit your style. A set of cable ID rings in four colors is included.

Is this the same thing as the Rode NT-UBS Mini for an extra $50? They appear functionally identical except for the color.
Asked by: B&H Customer
The Rode X XCM-50 is built with improved DSP and is made to work more ideally with voiceover quality in mind. The Rode NT-USB MINI is made more ideally for conferencing, streaming and some podcasting.

Does the mute button mute the microphone or the headset? I provided feedback to Rode that they need to have the mute button to mute the mic and not the headset. Hope Rode implemented that before I would consider buying it.
Asked by: Kwok
The mute button on the RODE X XCM-50 Compact USB-C Condenser Microphone is used to mute the microphone.
