Rode launches new dedicated pro-grade USB-C game streaming mics and FX software today
Summary
Rode positions this model as its more professional-grade option with “rich, natural audio without any unwanted background noise.” It is said to have “superior” room noise rejection, a built-in revolution preamp, the same 24-bit/48kHz USB-C connectivity as the XCM 50, and the expected headphone output with level control and mute button. This one ships with the pop shield, USB and headphone cables, and the shock mount, but you’ll need to supply your own mic stand or tripod. It is essentially a software hub for your audio streams with support for up to four USB microphones with built-in virtual background noise reduction options and FX like compressors and EQ. With so many brands vying for attention when it comes to microphones – it seems as though just about everyone even mildly attached to streaming has a USB mic up for sale – the new Rode division has a steep hill to climb. I’m sure the new models will deliver solid audio capture, but they don’t really seem to bring anything overly remarkable or unique to the tablet we haven’t seen from others in the past.
