DSP Processing Walkthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bkad9b5173sRode Connect Walkthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDNlC19uUIcToday I review a new XLR & USB Dynamic Mic from Rode, the PodMic USB. This mic has a controlled lowend, a mid forward sound, and a little bit of grain on the top end (mainly in XLR mode). This offers Digital Signal Processing that is stored on mic so you can use it on computers without Rode's software, and the pop filter works extremely well. It doesn't handle shocks too well, and the XLR port is inactive when you have the mic connected over USB.
