Complete Solo Podcasting Solution
The Rode PodMic Pack with AI-1, PSA1, and 3m XLR Cable is an all-in-one bundle tailored for solo podcasters, streamers, and content creators across Australia. This professional-grade package includes the Rode PodMic dynamic microphone, AI-1 audio interface, PSA1 studio boom arm, and a 3m XLR cable, delivering broadcast-quality audio with seamless setup for home or studio use.
High-Quality Audio Performance
- Rode PodMic: A broadcast-grade dynamic microphone optimized for podcasting, featuring a rich, balanced sound with a cardioid polar pattern to minimize room noise. It includes an internal pop filter to reduce plosives and an internal shockmount to dampen vibrations. Users praise its clarity and durability, with a B&H review noting, “Crystal clear recordings with minimal background noise.” Some report it requires a strong preamp due to its low sensitivity.
- Rode AI-1 Audio Interface: A single-channel USB-C interface with a Neutrik™ combo jack for XLR microphones or 1/4-inch instruments. It offers 24-bit/96kHz recording, a low-noise preamp with 60dB gain, and a high-power headphone output for zero-latency monitoring. Compatible with DAWs like Ableton, Logic, and Reaper, it includes Ableton Live Lite. Users appreciate its ease of use, though it’s limited to one input, ideal for solo setups.
- Rode PSA1 Studio Boom Arm: A professional boom arm with 360-degree rotation, 820mm horizontal reach, and 840mm vertical reach, supporting microphones up to 1.1kg. It features internal spring damping for silent positioning and external cable clips for tidy setups. Users commend its versatility, but some note the desk clamp may not fit thin surfaces without padding.
- 3m XLR Cable: A high-quality, shielded cable with Neutrik® connectors for low-noise signal transfer. Its 3m length suits compact setups, though some users prefer a longer cable for larger studios.

- Compatibility: PodMic requires XLR input; AI-1 not suitable for multi-mic setups. Test with non-Rode XLR mics for compatibility.
- Usage Tip: For thin desks, add padding under PSA1 clamp to prevent damage; consider a longer XLR cable (e.g., Rode XLR-6) for larger setups.
