Zoom PodTrak P2 Solo Podcast Bundle with Rode PodMic USB Dynamic Broadcast Microphone, Gator GFW-MIC-0250 Desktop Mic Stand, and Rode SC18 USB-A to USB-C Cable

The Zoom PodTrak P2 Solo Bundle: One Mic, One Stand, One Cable, and a 4-Track Recorder Ready to Grow

This bundle hands the solo podcaster a complete recording rig — a Zoom PodTrak P2 4-track recorder, a Rode PodMic USB dynamic broadcast microphone with onboard APHEX DSP, a Gator GFW-MIC-0250 weighted desktop tripod stand, a Rode SC18 shielded USB-A to USB-C cable, a 32 GB microSD card, and a 4-pack of AA batteries. The signal path is broadcast-quality from capsule to recorder. The expandability is the kit's second-order benefit — the P2's two USB-A mic inputs leave a host channel open for the day a second host or co-host joins the show. Sit down, plug in, record now; add a second mic and cable later.

The PodTrak P2 Records to microSD With Onboard AI Noise Reduction, TONE EQ, and a Compressor

The P2 records 4 simultaneous tracks at 48 kHz / 24-bit — the host channel, the stereo call-in pair when a remote guest is connected, and the program mix — to a microSD card up to 1 TB. AI Noise Reduction learns the room's background noise during both speech and pauses, then continuously trims HVAC, fan hum, and untreated-room reflections without dulling the host voice. The TONE feature is a multi-band EQ paired with a de-esser tuned for the broadcast voice. The onboard compressor smooths sudden dynamic shifts. Every layer of processing renders into the recorded WAV file — no DAW required to publish.

USB-C Mix-Minus Brings a Remote Guest Onto a Solo Show

Solo shows still book interviews. The P2's rear USB-C port doubles as a call-in input — plug a smartphone or laptop into USB-C and the P2 routes the program mix back to the caller without their own voice. The remote guest arrives as a stereo pair on its own track in the recording, so post-production can balance them independently from the host mic. The host stays on the broadcast PodMic USB; the guest dials in over their phone or computer. For a solo podcaster who books a weekly interview, the P2 is the recorder that makes that workflow possible without a separate interface.

The Rode PodMic USB Pairs a Broadcast Dynamic Capsule With Onboard APHEX DSP

The PodMic USB pairs a tight cardioid dynamic capsule with the same APHEX DSP suite found in Rode's flagship interfaces — high-pass filter, noise gate, compressor, Aural Exciter, Big Bottom, and the VoxLab voice toolkit — all processed inside the mic before the signal leaves the body. The dual-output design means the host has both an XLR connector (for a future move into a mixer or interface) and the USB-C output that's connected to the P2 today. A 3.5mm headphone jack on the mic provides zero-latency monitoring of the host's own voice.

The GFW-MIC-0250 Holds the Mic at Mouth Height Without a Boom Arm

The GFW-MIC-0250 telescoping desktop stand positions the PodMic USB at 9.25 to 13 inches of vertical height — the proper range for voice capture from a seated desk position — without the desk clamp a boom arm requires. The weighted tripod base spreads to 5.5 inches with rubberized feet that protect the desk and isolate keyboard vibration from the mic body. All-metal powder-coated construction holds steady through episode-length sessions and folds flat for travel between home and studio setups.

The SC18 Cable Wires Up the Signal Chain With Shielded Hi-Speed USB

The PodMic USB outputs over USB-C; the PodTrak P2 takes mics over USB-A. The Rode SC18 is the 5-foot Hi-Speed USB 2.0 certified USB-A to USB-C cable that bridges them. Full shielding through the cable run blocks EMI from computer monitors, Wi-Fi routers, and LED desk lights from bleeding into the audio signal. 5 feet of length routes cleanly from the mic position down behind the desk to the P2 without slack to coil.

The Kit That Stays Solo Now and Grows Into Two-Host Later

The P2 has two USB-A mic inputs. This bundle uses one. The second is open. When the show grows into a co-hosted format or a regular guest joins, a second PodMic USB and a second SC18 cable plug into the unused input and the kit becomes the two-host bundle. The recorder doesn't get replaced — only the mic and cable are added. The Tab 4-track recording structure already has the channels mapped for it.

Who This Bundle Is For

This kit is built for the solo podcaster, voice-over artist, or sermon recorder who wants broadcast-quality voice on day one — and for the buyer who plans ahead. A USB headset upgrader, a comparison shopper looking at the P2 against bigger PodTrak models, and a creator who values the option to expand without replacing gear all order this bundle.
