This USB mic sounds amazing – Rode XDM-100 mic review and Unify setup guide

  • by



Prawn here with a review of the Rode X XDM100. This is an impressive USB that offers the ability to not only capture great sound with a plug and play setup but also gives you access to Rode Unify, which is a software that allows you to route multiple virtual audio sources into a single output for your stream.
The Rode XDM100 microphone is a dynamic mic that’s aimed at streamers and content creators. So I’m showing what’s possible with it, including how to set it up in Streamlabs or OBS, the tweaks you can make with Rode Unify and the settings you can use to make it sound great.

Highlights of this mic:
Superb dynamic sound
Broadcast quality
Comes with shock mount and pop filter
Works via USB-C and can be used with your phone
Great looks
Hefty design and solid build quality

Lowlights:
Unify might be complicated for some
Some pops on the mic
