Excellent Microphone for Vocals and Unamplified Instruments!
The XCM-50 captures even the finest nuances with its gold-sputtered 1/2" condenser capsule. It’s ideal for vocals, speech, acoustic guitar, piano, wind instruments, and percussion. The microphone features an internal pop filter that effectively prevents noise from close talking. Included is the Rode Tripod 2, a versatile miniature ball-head stand.
The microphone houses a DSP chip that, combined with Rode’s free recording/streaming software UNIFY, allows you to shape the signal with a high-pass filter, equalizer, noise gate, compressor, and the legendary Aphex Exciter and Big Bottom. Plus, when using UNIFY, you can operate up to four XCM-50s simultaneously on one computer if needed.
The XCM-50 features Rode’s ultra-low-noise, powerful Revolution preamp (+76 dB): perfect also for low-sensitivity dynamic microphones. The XCM-50 is a typical cardioid mic, meaning sound from the sides and rear is significantly dampened, with a forward pickup angle of about 90°.
The mic can be precisely tilted in its yoke mount to perfectly aim at the sound source. On the back are the 3.5 mm TRS headphone jack and the USB-C port. The XCM-50 has a really powerful headphone amplifier—if you want, you can crank it up; volume is adjusted via the front rotary control.
The full feature set is unlocked when using the free UNIFY recording/streaming software. It offers a virtual 10-channel mixer with faders, solo and mute buttons on each channel. Also included are a high-pass filter, compressor, noise gate, Aphex signal processing, eight freely assignable trigger pads with eight banks each, and native multitrack recording.
Editing and exporting are also possible, with high-resolution WAV recordings, optional MP3 export at 128, 192, 256, or 320 kbps, and direct access to system settings from within UNIFY.
The package includes the Rode Tripod 2 table stand, a 3 m USB-C to USB-C cable, and a high-quality 3 m 3.5 mm TRS headphone extension cable.
