Rode PodMic USB Dynamic Broadcast Microphone
PodMic USB is the dual-connect version of RODE's broadcast dynamic. The same cardioid dynamic capsule and internal pop filter sit behind both outputs: a 3-pin XLR for a mixer or a RODECaster, and a USB-C port for a computer or phone. That means one microphone covers a guest chair on a console and a solo recording at a laptop.
On the digital side there is on-board APHEX processing, a 3.5mm headphone output for zero-latency monitoring, and 24-bit/48kHz conversion drawing 5V at 100mA over USB. Maximum SPL is 148dB, so it takes a loud voice up close without complaint. Available in black or white.
