RØDE NT-USB Mini

A compact USB-C condenser with a magnetic desktop stand, aimed squarely at beginners getting into podcasting and remote calls without an interface. It keeps things simple — no phantom power needed — which is the appeal and the limit. Skip it if you need multiple polar patterns, since it's cardioid only, or if you're building an XLR chain. It's a no-fuss entry condenser.
