Røde XDM-100 USB Mic Review & UNIFY Software Demo (vs Shure MV7, Procaster, Deity, Maono ft PodMic)
Today, I have the Røde XDM-100 in the Audio Hotline Studio! I give the XDM-100 an in-depth review and I also do a pretty lengthy walk-through of the Røde UNIFY software! Since this mic has On-Board DSP I wanted to demonstrate how to use that, and a big part of using the on-board DSP with this mic, is controlling it through the UNIFY software.
In this review, I take you through the usual tests that I do and I also take you through all the information related to the XDM-100. In addition to that, I do also do a blind comparison! I picked the mics in the comparison for a reason... most of them are the XDM-100's compeition or they are similar in certain ways.Here are the mics I use in that blind comparison:
BLIND COMPARISON:
Shure MV7
Røde Procaster
Deity VO-7U
Maono PD400X
XDM 100
PodMic (Palate Cleanser)
Check out the testing, audio samples, comparison, and see if the Rode XDM100 is right for you! Every person has different expectations of audio gear. If the features are what you need, and you like the sound, then it's a good choice for you!
Thanks for watching the Audio Hotline! A review for the Røde XCM-50 is going to be coming out very soon. I'll see you Audio Nerds next time!
