Sound Exceptional on Stream and in Game

The Rode X XDM-100 Microphone puts your voice front and centre during your stream so you can sound like a professional and deliver the high-quality content your community deserves. Being a dynamic microphone, the XDM-100 successfully amplifies sound in close proximity to the capsule, meaning unwanted background noise like keyboard and mouse clicks are less likely to be detected. And, with an included pop filter and shock mount, plosives and handling sounds are greatly reduced, leaving you with much cleaner audio.

Combined with an ultra-low noise, high-gain Revolution Preamp and high-resolution 24-bit/48 kHz conversion, the XDM-100 is well adept at keeping signals pure. This superior level of circuitry ensures streamers always sound their best.

Plug-and-Play Connectivity

Getting started with your XDM-100 microphone is as simple as plugging it into your computer using the USB Type-C connection. Once connected, users can plug their headphones directly into the 3.5mm output to hear their audio in full definition. The option to monitor audio also makes it easier to know when to use the dedicated dial for level adjustments. For added convenience, the dial doubles up as a mute button to ensure users can always keep their audio in check. And, if you’re more of an animated streamer, the included 3m headphone extension cable gives you everything you need for a flexible setup.

Craft Your Signature Sound with UNIFY

Just like your stream, your audio deserves a personal touch to make it all the more appealing. With the XDM-100, UNIFY can be downloaded for free, giving you access to advanced voice processing. This includes a compressor for extra smoothness, a high-pass filter for more clarity and the legendary APHEX Aural Exciter for sparkle and Big Bottom for depth. You can even remove background noise with the noise gate and fine-tune every processor with granular control for a truly customisable experience.
