RODE PODMIC Reviews
Excellent quality with caveats
This microphone delivers crystal clear audio and includes a pop filter which is nice. Build quality is very good. My only complaint is that it doesn’t provide enough gain over USB even when Rode Central app was set to its max 63. I had to install Equalizer APO on Windows to drive up the gain for acceptable performance. Aside from that, it’s been exceptional, and even considering the above issue I would buy it again.
