Technical specifications indicate a tri-capsule 14mm condenser array, enabling four switchable polar patterns: Cardioid, Omnidirectional, Bidirectional, and Stereo. The chassis is constructed from a high-mass zinc alloy, with a total weight of 3.4 lbs including the integrated stand, which assists in dampening mechanical vibrations. A dedicated analog gain stage and zero-latency headphone output with an internal amplifier are included.
Aggregated data confirms the use of a Mini-USB connection protocol. While the metal housing is highly durable, the connection port is soldered directly to the main PCB, necessitating careful cable management to prevent mechanical fatigue. Software integration is provided via G-Hub for signal equalization and processing.
To mitigate the limitations of the legacy Mini-USB port, the Røde PodMic USB offers a modern USB-C and XLR dual-path alternative.
This device remains a foundational reference for versatility in the studio USB microphones category.
