RODE X XCM-50 Compact USB-C Condenser Microphone

The Rode XCM-50 is a compact USB-C condenser microphone featuring built-in advanced DSP capabilities and designed to provide detailed speech and voice reproduction for streamers and gamers in search of professional-quality sound and easy plug-and-play operation. The mic features a yoke mount for easy attachment to a boom arm or mic stand. The mount's 360¡ã swivel action makes it easy to place the mic in optimal position for game play and broadcasting. In addition, a tripod stand is included for tabletop use.

A zero-latency 3.5mm headphone jack with volume control and mute button allows you to monitor your audio in real time, so you can hear exactly what the mic capsule is picking up, and a headphone extension cable is provided to give you ample room to move while you're podcasting or crushing it in your favorite game. The condenser mic capsule is powered via the USB bus and features a cardioid polar pattern that focuses audio capture on the subject in front of the microphone, picking up less unwanted sound from the back and sides. The mic offers 24-bit / 48 kHz analog to digital conversion and Rode's powerful UNIFY audio software is included which allows you to unlock additional features of the mic's powerful internal DSP and mix up to four USB microphones at once for podcasting and streaming applications.
