Custom Rode PodMic Foam Cover – Personalised Mic Windscreen with Logo

The custom foam for the broadcast mic that took on the SM7B

The Rode PodMic is the dynamic XLR broadcast microphone Rode built specifically to compete with the Shure SM7B at roughly half the price. It has become the go-to mic for cost-conscious UK podcast networks, semi-pro studios, and serious creators who want broadcast-grade voicing without the SM7B's premium tag. This is the branded foam windscreen built specifically for the PodMic — your logo, your podcast name, your network branding, in full colour on the windscreen that's framed in every session photo.

Custom-printed full colour, double-sided, slips over the PodMic's distinctive cylindrical windscreen, production is 1–2 working days after artwork approval. £20.00, single-unit minimum.

Why PodMic owners specifically order branded foam

• The PodMic has a flat, broad windscreen profile. Like the SM7B it's designed to emulate, the PodMic gives you a wide branding surface that reads clearly in every studio photo and YouTube thumbnail
• You bought the PodMic to look pro. If you chose the PodMic over a Yeti, you're signalling you take this seriously. A branded windscreen completes that signal
• PodMic studios are growing fast. Many UK podcast networks now run PodMic + Rodecaster setups for guest spots. Branded foams across a network give visual consistency in every clip
• Bonus plosive control. The OEM windscreen on the PodMic is functional but minimal — our foam meaningfully improves P/B/T plosive rejection

PodMic vs. SM7B (briefly, for context)

If you're reading this you probably already know, but: PodMic = warmer, slightly brighter, less expensive, made for radio-style podcast voicing. SM7B = flatter response, more universally applauded, broadcast-classic. Both are excellent. Both deserve branding. We make custom covers for both — same craft, same turnaround. If you eventually upgrade to the SM7B, we'll print you a matching cover for the new mic.

What you can print on it

Full colour, double-sided, edge-to-edge. Podcast name, network logo, host handle, sponsor lockup, or custom illustration. The PodMic's wide flat windscreen is particularly good for typography — text reads dead-straight in camera framing. Send vector files for sharpest print; high-res PNG works. Free mockup before printing — you approve layout, position, and crop before anything goes to production.

Acoustic transparency preserved

Premium PU foam matched to the OEM windscreen density Rode ships with the PodMic. Acoustic transparency end-to-end — the PodMic's signature warm broadcast voicing is unchanged. The print is on the outer surface only; the acoustic path through to the dynamic capsule is unchanged. Plosive rejection on hard consonants is meaningfully improved by the additional foam layer.

Who orders these

• Solo podcasters running PodMic + Rodecaster + Cleanfeed setups for weekly shows
• Podcast networks kitting out multiple booths with matching PodMics + uniform branding
• YouTubers and Twitch streamers using the PodMic for filmed content (it photographs beautifully)
• Voice-over startups using the PodMic as a cost-effective broadcast mic in home studios
• Filmed interview shows on YouTube using PodMics on guests + host for a consistent studio look
• Community radio stations migrating from older broadcast condensers to modern Rode setups

Compatibility

Fits the standard Rode PodMic (XLR) and the newer PodMic USB (same physical housing). Does NOT fit the smaller PodMic Pro or other Rode broadcast mics — we have separate listings for those. The windscreen profile is custom-cut to the PodMic's specific cylindrical shape.

Durability and care

Built for daily studio use. Survives being knocked, handled, and stored in mic bags. Spot-clean with a damp cloth between sessions; avoid soaking. Most clients tell us their cover still looks new 2+ years in. Re-orders cost the same as the first one — no setup fee for repeat prints (useful if you rebrand or want different designs for different shows in a network).

Ordering and turnaround

Standard production: 1–2 working days after artwork approval from artwork approval. Free Royal Mail Tracked UK delivery on every order. London same-day collection if ordered before 11am from our Spelman Street workshop. Bulk pricing from 10+ units — for podcast network kit-outs (4+ PodMics), message us via WhatsApp for a custom quote with hand-delivery for London-based networks.

Will it fit both PodMic and PodMic USB?

Yes — both share the same physical housing. The cover fits both interchangeably.

Will it affect the PodMic's broadcast voicing?

No. Acoustic transparency preserved; the foam matches OEM windscreen density. Plosive control on hard P/B/T sounds is actually slightly improved as a side benefit.

Can I have different artwork on each side?

Yes — many networks put their show name on the front and the network logo on the back. £0 extra for asymmetric designs.

How long does the print last?

Indefinitely under normal studio use. The print is sublimated into the foam fibres, not surface-printed — survives daily handling, occasional knocks, and storage in mic cases without peeling or fading.
