Rode Gamer Kit Includes PodMic, PSA1 & AI-1

Rode's Gamer Kit includes the PodMic broadcast-quality dynamic microphone and AI-1 single-channel USB audio interface. The microphone features a built-in pop filter and shock mount, while the audio interface offers a studio-grade preamp with level indicator. Additionally, the kit includes a professional studio arm and the PSM1 shock mount.

The AI-1 provides a Neutrik combo jack for connecting microphones or instruments. The preamp is designed to provide low noise and distortion, even at maximum gain levels. There's also a high-power headphone amplifier for monitoring with headphones.

The studio arm allows you to position your microphone anywhere on your desk, and its robust construction ensures it won't move when you adjust your mic position mid-recording. It can be attached to both desks and tables using either the included threaded desk insert or desk mount clamp.
