How do you intend to use your microphone; gaming, podcasting, video conferencing? Let me know!

[@ItsJimzTV_offical]

Gaming would it be good for streaming ?

[@RobertMTeegarden]

It would be great for streaming!

@@RobertMTeegardenPodcasting. I think the hybrid option is better to me, so I can move the microphone wherever I want to.

Hi. I am a Christian content creator on this channel and my backup channel- Truth Triumphs. My Rode is coming via Amazon today. I have been using a Blue Snowball for several years, and I wanted to see if this will sound better in my singing (and I am a female voice) since I sing high notes as well as low notes. I got a Mackie EM 91CU to try, but I didn't like it straight out of the box. You sounded great around 3:11 with just plugging in the Rode, and I am hoping that will work for me since I am not using any mixing software. Thanks and God bless you and your family.

Great video Robert! One question, when you connect the mic via USB-C isn't the sound very quiet? I have the same setup as you going into the Mac Studio. I had to max out the Input on the System Preference and also to +63db, BUT still cant hit -6 db when recording... am I doing something wrong or I got a bad mic? I couldn't find answer anywhere :(

[@MichaelYoungKim]

Also if i connect the microphoneto the front usb c on my mac studio, the microphone will not pickup any sound even the the input menu shows the mic....

[@RobertMTeegarden]

Interesting, Michael. I didn't notice that on my end.

I appreciate your honesty. I can’t get my PodMic USB to capture sound. Any suggestions?

[@agambhatnagar]

Can I Connect this directly to my Sony camera ZVE1 in any way?

[@RobertMTeegarden]

No it's not that kind of microphone

[@exMasterNQQB]

Hello. Thanks for the review. Can you tell me if the microphone can simultaneously output sound via USB and XLR ?

[@RobertMTeegarden]

Unfortunately, no.

[@TransplantHelper]

When the first showed off the new pop filter I thought it was great, not anymore. It’s too big. The mic itself is the best looking mic available. I can’t cover that up.

[@RobertMTeegarden]

Totally agree!

[@HossanaChikwado]

My Rode Podmic USB suddenly stopped working, it won’t connect via phone or even PC, please any suggestions on how I can solve this?

[@Itsmiimiibaby]

Are you using Windows 10 or newer?

Good Evening Sir, If I buy Rode's pod mic and universal volt audio interface. So will I get professional quality? I want to record my written poetry at home and I want crisp and studio quality. Will this setup be ok? I am not getting good advice from anyone. Please tell me which mic and audio interface should I buy?

[@RobertMTeegarden]

Hey man - this is a great mic for the price and will give you good audio captures.

[@brandon_youtube]

Sorry to hear you're not getting good advice. It's really bad people are not helpful about what makes good audio. I had the same issue and end up experimenting with mixed results. For some reason people with good audio never reveal the process for crispy sound. I imagine it's to do with the mix. Don't expect to plug and play with a good mic and Interface. The secret we are unaware of is between applying sound plugins and the mix. I'm still experimenting with my 4th mic...

[@Szystedt]

This is such a genuine and cute comment, I wish you all the best with your poetry! ❤️

[@deolludhianvi]
