This is still by far my favorite microphone. I use it with the RodeCasterDuo and it is quite the pairing! I know everyone gets the SM7B or the new version of it just because everyone else has it, but I use a subwoofer and decent speakers and that mic just has an insane amount of low end. Everyone thinks it sounds great, but I personally think it's just a bit too much and doesn't sound natural at all. This one might be a bit too harsh on the higher end, but RodeCentral's EQ fixes all of this. Highly recommend this one!
Bros edits, cam quality and the mic (obviously) are so nice, I just had to sub...mine arrived today, but I just like watching reviews before testing stuff out 😂
Just bought the podmic USB to tidy up my desk setup as I want to get rid of my interface, reduce the number of cables etc. This was a nice overview and have to say that having watched a few reviews this mic doesn't sound great for everyone (something I will have to test myself) but it sounds GREAT on your voice. Did you have any of the DSP on in your voiceover or any post processing etc...?
Hey, thanks , appreciate you. It took a bit of tweaking to dial in my preferences but once I was set I was good to go. I used a the Rode processing and had the “big bottom” and sparkle turned up a bit.
@avicreates Ah great thanks. Will have to have a play around and see what works! I rarely use a mic now (hence wanting to scale down) but wanted something decent for when I do.
I find im not getting the same clarity and sheen on my mic sound, even with the DSP. Its sounds decent, but not the best. Are you using additional EQ? And if so, can you elaborate what boosts ir cuts you made? Thanks!
Avi, thank u. so i just need the mic and a cable plugged to my mac with rodecentral s/w installed and good to go? where does the scarlet, focusrite, stuff come in play do i need it? thanks whats a best boom arm to get
Yes all you need is the mic and the apps with usb C and a mic stand or boom arm. Best boom arm is elgato or rode. But you can find cheaper on Amazon. the focus tire was just for the XLR test , you need an interface to plug into the computer if you use that route with the XLR cable.
Bro can you pls help me? I have rode podmic usb and scarlett2i2 solo 4th gen. I tried to use XLR but my voice is too week with knobs maxed. There is no option in forusrite control 2 that adjusts the decibels. And when I talk, it cuts my voice especially when I speak long words. Would you recommend a fix to this? Or am I doing something wrong? 😢 Thanks in advance and good content btw!
Hey, with the Scarlett I found that I had to max out the gain setting and then pull it back like a 1mm turn, very very slightly. It only worked at the max end of the gain. Does the usb c work? If so why not just use the usb c side of the pod mic. I also had to turn the 48V phantom power setting OFF on the Scarlett. so make sure that setting is off and see how it works. Also try Updating the Scarlett firmware then try either port to make sure it's not just one port that may have an issue. Let me know if any of those things helped. Thanks for the comment and dont forget to like and sub.
Is the light on the back red? Try a different usb cable maybe just to see? I had that issue and it turned out that my sub hub was broken , worked well when I plugged directly into the usb c port on the Mac.
Here’s what I was saying “You are going to have to monitor through the microphone” (using the headphones output from the microphone) or unplug the mic to hear the play back, because the speakers don’t play back audio when the mic is plugged in. Please remember to like and subscribe, thanks bud
@@avicreatesthank you so much for the quick reply. My needs are often very specific. I found it in your video but it was very fast. Thank you so much.

I agree with you on everything you said here! 🙌🏽
Picking on of these up today for my sound tests. Super pumped 🙌🏼
great choice, its an amazing device!

Hahaah I totally appreciate this, putting in the work pays off when you get comments like this! Appreciate you! 🙌🏽
Do I need something else to power the mic 🎤 apart from my iPhone ?
No you don’t if using the usb c connection and an Adapter.
Man this is the best tech review I’ve ever watched. So well made. Just purchased this from Amazon, thanks brother.
Most welcome 🙏🏽, it’s a great piece of gear! 🫡

My friend, I love this video; I will be purchasing this mic soon! May I also ask, what camera are you using on this video?
Hi there, yes it’s a great mic. I’m using the Sony ZVE1 for the wide shot and the fx3 for the close ups.
Does it come with stand. Can use with out mixing boarg
No stand, rode version sold separately or u can get generic Amazon ones. Yes can use without mixer.
Pls what’s your lighting set up like. Can u do a video on that thanks for your reponse
Sure will do , it’s a lantern soft box and a light modifies to replicate a window. Will make a video
I find im not getting the same clarity and sheen on my mic sound, even with the DSP. Its sounds decent, but not the best. Are you using additional EQ? And if so, can you elaborate what boosts ir cuts you made? Thanks!
Can we record audio directly through 3.5mm port using trrs cable while connected to type c too.
I suppose you can since it’s the monitoring channel so it sending an output signal. You may have to connect it to a recorder etc.

I need help, please. I bought the microphone, but when recording audio, calling, or when I am live, the sound is very weak. What is the reason?
Hi Abu, are you using it via usb c or via XLR? It might be the gain setting have you installed the software?
gained a sub great content
Pls what camera you used to shoot this
Sony ZVE1 wide and FX3 tight shot
I think the pop filter definitely made difference, but it feels like it lost depth because of it. like its affecting the rest of the frequencies
Yes same, it helped the pop but definitely affected the overall depth.
lovely review tho thanks brother much appreciated
Most welcome friend! 🫡

Envato Elements, modern titles call out!
@@avicreates Was it played on the PC without a jailbreak, and what is the component used on the iPhone 12?
For the iPhone it’s a USB C to lightning adapter. Not sure what you mean by the first part
@@avicreates Yes, the design of an adapter, and what type of camera is used to shoot the video, please?
@ttqani I used the Sony ZVE1 and the Sony FX3 for the closer angle.
Amazing channel brother. to call you brother must be in same age? Im older sorry
