RODE PodMic Dynamic Podcasting Microphone
Podcasters looking for the right mic to bring professional-quality sound to their productions on YouTube, FaceBook, Twitch, and elsewhere have a great option with the PodMic from Rode. This cost-effective stylish end-address dynamic XLR microphone is specifically tuned for speech and broadcast. Tailor-made for use with the RODECaster Pro podcast production studio and PSA1 broadcast arm, it can also be plugged into a wide range of pro-audio gear to deliver broadcast-quality sound.
This microphone is part of the B&H Virtual Mic Locker, an online tool to help our valued customers determine the sonic differences between popular microphones for podcasting and voice over work. Each microphone was recorded using a Grace Design M103 preamp into a Presonus Quantum 2626 interface.
Podcast in Any Environment
Most podcasts happen in bedrooms, home studios, or offices with less than perfect acoustics and noises coming from the outside. The PodMic features a dynamic capsule with a tight cardioid polar pattern, great for picking up the speaker while reducing unwanted sounds that are further away or off to the sides.
Get Close to Your Mic
With its end-address design, the PodMic invites you to get right up close and create intimate broadcast-style voice recordings with a deep and warm tone. Its compact size lets you and your guests see each other and enjoy an open and comfortable talking experience, while the mic stays out of the camera's way when videocasting.
Built to Last
Solid-brass construction with a hard-wearing matte-black ceramic finish ensures that the PodMic will continue to deliver the same level of performance over the years, while still looking great.
Clean Speech without Distractions
The PodMic's internal pop filter and double-mesh housing work to effectively reduce distracting breath and plosive noises (as in s, p, and b sounds) without the need for an unsightly external pop filter.
Protect Your Sound from Vibrations
The internal shockmount helps to isolate the PodMic from handling noise and vibrations when you are adjusting the mic or if there's a bump or knock on the table. The integrated swing mount that holds the mic further insulates it from low-frequency noises, which could ruin your audio.
Swing into the Right Position
The PodMic has two wing nuts on each side of its built-in mount, allowing you to quickly swing the mic into the right orientation and lock it into place. Mounting the PodMic on the PSA1 broadcast boom arm (available separately) gives you the added flexibility to position the microphone exactly where you want it.
Get Professional Results
Pair the PodMic with the powerful RODECaster Pro podcast production studio to leverage the most out of your microphone. Select the PodMic microphone preset in the RODECaster Pro audio options and matching digital signal processing is automatically applied, giving your voice the depth, presence, and hint of shimmer associated with top professional radio broadcasters.
Zoom U-22 USB-B Audio Interface

Armed with the Zoom U-22 ultracompact 2x2 USB Handy audio interface, it's easy for musicians, songwriters, and singers to record one source at a time to their computer, iPhone, or iPad. At home, outside, or while traveling, the U-22's user-friendly tactile controls and high-resolution 24-bit / 96 kHz converters help you capture your creativity with quality. Plus, it comes with Ableton Live Lite and the Steinberg Cubasis LE iPad app to provide the software you need to take your music from inspiration to a finished production.

The U-22 features one low-noise microphone preamp with switchable phantom power and an XLR-1/4" combo jack, allowing it to handle a dynamic microphone, a condenser microphone, or a Hi-Z instrument such as a guitar or bass. A 3.5mm mini-jack input is also available for recording a stereo line input via a connected iPad, mixer, or other portable audio device. Thanks to zero-latency direct monitoring, RCA main outputs, and a 3.5mm headphone port, the U-22 can simultaneously feed speakers and headphones.

Innovative Handy Design
The U-22 can be bus powered via USB (USB Type-B to Type-A cable included), and its ultracompact form factor is perfect for use with a laptop or iPhone/iPad. The innovative design provides quick access to connectors, knobs, and controls for effortless setup and operation. A simple bicolor LED indicates signal presence and clipping to help you avoid distorting your recordings.

Proper connectivity and operation with an iPhone or iPad requires separately available accessories—two AA batteries or the Zoom AD-17 AC adapter for power, plus an Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit or a Lightning-to-USB Camera Adapter.

Pristine Recording and Playback
The U-22 features a single high-performance, low-noise mic preamp—the same pre found in the acclaimed H6 Handy Recorder with less than -120 dBu EIN, and recording and playback at resolutions up to 24-bit / 96 kHz. You can also use the U-22 as a studio-quality headphone amp and listen to your favorite music in full fidelity.
Get Connected
The U-22's XLR/TRS combo input has switchable 48V phantom power, so it can be used to record a dynamic or condenser microphone. The combo jack's Hi-Z support allows direct connection of an electric guitar or bass. The U-22 is also equipped with a stereo 3.5mm mini-jack input to accept line-level signal from a mobile device, mixer, or other portable audio device. The U-22 can record one input at a time. The XLR/TRS combo input will be disabled when recording from the 3.5mm line input jack.
Power Your Live Performance
The U-22 is a great audio companion for musicians who incorporate digital audio processing or prerecorded sound elements into their live performances. Connect the U-22 interface to a Mac/Windows laptop or an iPhone/iPad, pull up software effects or a looper, and send your processed signal to a mixer or the house PA via RCA stereo outputs.
Zero-Latency Monitoring
For zero-latency recording and mixing, the U-22's direct monitoring switch allows you to hear your signal before it passes through the computer. Separate RCA output jacks and an independent headphone output provide multiple options for monitoring.
Ableton Live 9 Lite
Bundled with the U-22, Ableton Live 9 Lite is a powerful DAW program that lets you record tracks quickly and intuitively, enhancing them with studio-quality effects like EQ, compression, reverb, delay, chorus, filter, and more. Plus, Ableton's performance workflows let you take your music to the stage where you can mix and record live.
Steinberg Cubasis LE
Cubasis LE, a 4-track audio recording/editing/mixing app for iPad with an intuitive touch user interface is also included with the U-22.

Warm Audio Pro Series XLR Cable (10')

Presented here with a cable length of 10'', this Warm Audio Pro Series XLR Cable is designed to provide a high-end connection between balanced gear with XLR jacks. If you care about the details of your sound onstage and in the studio but want to adhere to a wallet-friendly budget, use this cable to preserve the integrity of mic-level and line-level signal.

To guarantee optimal performance, Warm Audio partnered with renowned Swiss company Gotham AG to supply the core wiring of this cable. The XLR connections offer high-quality silver contacts to keep your signal pristine.

Silver-Plated Connectors
Precious metals aren't famous for their looks alone—some also have characteristics that are advantageous for signal transfer. These silver connectors provide such characteristics, out-perfoming gold to a small degree during signal transfer.

Polsen Inline XLR Single-Channel Mic Preamp

If you've ever tried to get a loud sound out of a low-output dynamic or ribbon mic and noticed that awful hiss, add the Polsen XP-30D Inline Mic Preamp to your arsenal. The XP-30D adds 30 dB of clean gain and sidesteps a common problem when using mics like the SM7B with mixers or interfaces: the unbearably loud noise floor. Use it between the mic and your interface, and you'll have 30 dB of clean signal with no trace of noise.

The XP-30D uses balanced XLR connections to ensure a color-free sound even over long cable runs. The device runs on phantom power from your preamp, interface, or mixer. If you're using a ribbon mic, the phantom power never enters the signal path, so your ribbon will always be protected. The XP-30D has a durable metal shell, perfect for life on the road. Keep it in your gig bag or even your pocket, and take it wherever you're streaming, podcasting, or gigging.

30 dB of Clean Gain on Tap
Use the XP-30D when a low-output dynamic or ribbon microphone isn't giving you the power you need, or when turning up the preamp or console's gain only adds noise to the signal. Placed inline between a microphone and preamp, or microphone and console, the XP-30D adds 30 dB of clean gain to any low-output dynamic or ribbon microphone without noise or coloration.
XLR Input and Output
The 3-pin XLR input and output are compatible with most professional microphones. And the balanced XLR connectors ensure a clean and interference-free signal even with long cable runs.
Runs on Phantom Power
Other than phantom power—which comes from compatible mixers, mic pres, or interfaces—no batteries or external power source is needed to take advantage of the XP-30D. Activate the phantom power on your mic pre or console, and your microphone's output will be boosted by 30 dB. Sensitive ribbon microphones are protected from any damage because the XP-30D doesn't pass through the phantom power. So, plug in and don't worry about your ribbon mic. The XP-30D's circuitry will protect it.
Durable Metal Construction
If you're podcasting, making a YouTube video, recording an ENG interview, or playing with a band, the XP-30D is designed for you. The rugged metal chassis can take bumps and knocks while being transported, whether it's rattling around in your gear bag, backpack, or even your pocket.
