Rode XDM-100 USB Microphone

Rode XDM-100 USB Dynamic Microphone — Broadcast Sound for Streamers

The Rode XDM-100 is a professional dynamic USB microphone built for streamers, gamers, and content creators who need clean, focused voice capture. Its cardioid dynamic capsule rejects keyboard clicks and room hum while delivering rich, natural audio across the full 20 Hz – 20 kHz range. This model pairs directly with the UNIFY virtual mixing software for advanced routing and on-the-fly sound management.

What Sets the XDM-100 Apart

Built around a Revolution Preamp™ and internal DSP running APHEX® voice processing — including a compressor, high-pass filter, Aural Exciter™, and Big Bottom™ — the instrument stands out from typical USB microphones. A zero-latency 3.5 mm headphone output with level control and mute button completes the hardware feature set.

Capsule Design — Why Dynamic Rejection Matters

A dynamic capsule with a cardioid polar pattern is the heart of the noise-rejection capability of the XDM-100. This combination ignores off-axis sound sources, so ambient room noise stays out of the recording even in untreated home studios.

• Focused pickup provided by the cardioid polar pattern ensures that rear and side noises are effectively suppressed during recording.
• Capsule Type: Dynamic — handles loud voices and rejects background hum without distortion
• Frequency Range: 20 Hz – 20 kHz — captures the full spectrum of vocal tone, from deep lows to crisp highs

USB-C Connectivity and Headphone Monitoring

Plug-and-play USB-C connectivity removes the need for an audio interface, while the integrated headphone jack supports real-time monitoring without latency. The included 3 m USB-C cable and 3.5 mm headphone extension cable let users set up a clean desktop rig immediately.

• Device Connectivity: USB-C — direct computer connection, no driver installation required
• Analog Outputs: 3.5 mm headphone output — zero-latency monitoring with level control and mute button
• Sample Rate / Bit Depth: 48 kHz / 24-bit — broadcast-grade digital conversion for clean, detailed audio
