Rode PodMic Podcast Microphone

Podcasting equipment, commonly epitomized by popular dedicated gear like the Rode PodMic or Shure MV7 podcast microphone, is widely available through electronics and pro-audio retailers across the Netherlands, such as Coolblue, Bax Music, and Bol.com.

Rode Microphones, an iconic audio brand based in Sydney, Australia, pioneered specialized broadcast and podcasting hardware. Founded in 1967 as Freedman Electronics by Henry and Astrid Freedman, the company evolved into Rode in the 1990s and established itself globally for recording equipment. Today, Rode remains headquartered and produces its signature podcast microphones primarily in its advanced automated manufacturing facilities in Sydney, Australia, operating under the Freedman Group (parent company of Rode, Event Electronics, Mackie, and Soundcraft).

Other prominent brands offering podcast audio gear in the Dutch market include American manufacturers Shure (owned by Shure Incorporated) and Audio-Technica (headquartered in Japan), as well as consumer brands like Blue Microphones (owned by Logitech).
