RODE PodMic Podcast Kit

Two-person podcast microphone setup with broadcast-style PodMics

RODE PodMic Podcast Kit is a practical two-person recording setup built around two RØDE PodMic dynamic microphones. It is designed for podcasts, interviews, livestreams, voice-over sessions and other spoken-word productions where two speakers need separate microphone channels. Each PodMic uses an end-address design, so the speaker talks directly into the front of the microphone. The cardioid pickup pattern helps focus on the person speaking while reducing sound arriving from the sides and rear, which is useful in rooms that are not fully acoustically treated.

Dynamic microphones tuned for speech and podcasting

The PodMic is a broadcast-style dynamic microphone developed specifically for speech applications. RØDE specifies a frequency range of 50 Hz to 15 kHz, 320-ohm output impedance and -57 dBV sensitivity. Its tight cardioid pattern helps reduce room noise and unwanted reflections compared with more sensitive studio condenser microphones. The microphone also has an internal pop filter to control plosive sounds and internally suspended components that reduce vibration. This makes the setup well suited to conversational podcasts, remote interviews, streaming and spoken-word recordings where clear, consistent vocal sound is the priority.

XLR connection for recorders, mixers and audio interfaces

Both microphones use standard balanced XLR outputs and do not require phantom power. The CamCam rental configuration is intended for two speakers and includes desktop microphone support and XLR cabling, so the microphones can be positioned directly at a table. To record both voices separately, you will still need a recorder, mixer or audio interface with at least two microphone-level XLR inputs. A RØDECaster, Zoom recorder or another suitable multichannel interface can therefore be added depending on whether you are recording into a computer, camera workflow or standalone audio recorder.

Built for close-mic technique and controlled vocal sound

The PodMic works best when positioned relatively close to the speaker. This improves vocal presence and takes advantage of the microphone’s directional rejection, helping keep room ambience under control. The integrated swing mount makes angle adjustment simple, while the all-metal body and stainless-steel grille are designed for regular studio use. Each microphone weighs approximately 937 g, so when using an alternative boom arm or stand it is important to choose support hardware that can comfortably hold the microphone’s weight.
