RockMix 5 BOAD 1-2

This six-piece podcast kit replaces a desktop tripod with a 40-inch boom arm for a cleaner desk and more flexible mic placement. The RockMix 5 mixer anchors the setup with a USB audio interface, Bluetooth streaming, echo effect, and 2-band British EQ, and it runs on USB bus power so a laptop is all you need.

The RMC-XLR dynamic microphone captures vocals with an M-56 neodymium cartridge and ships with two 10-foot 100% OFC copper cables (XLR-to-XLR and XLR-to-1/4"). The DMS40 boom arm clamps to any desk under 2 inches thick and extends up to 40 inches with dual 20-inch articulating arms and internal springs for quiet repositioning. A 512 Audio metal pop filter with a flexible gooseneck and swivel c-clamp mounts directly to the boom arm to block plosives without the bulk of a nylon screen. PRO-M50 closed-back headphones with 40mm drivers and a flat frequency response let you monitor your recording accurately, and the included RCTR106B 6-foot balanced TRS cable connects them to the mixer. Every component in this kit is built to work together from unboxing to first episode.
