Rode X XCM-50 review

Rode X XCM-50 Review

By Mack Ashworth

Under its new “Rode X” sub-brand, Rode has started to launch products aimed at gamers and streamers. One of the two microphones leading the charge is the XCM-50, a stylish condenser microphone that packs a lot of punch, despite its small size. Out of the two new Rode X mics, this one is my favorite. Here’s what it gets so right.

  • Small size is easy to manage.
  • Included accessories are great.
  • Microphone sounds fantastic.
  • Companion UNIFY app works wonders.
  • Headphone audio monitoring is easy, even with my 80 Ohm headphones.
  • Red and black color may put some potential buyers off.
  • Click of the mute button is loud for the audience.
