Rode VideoMic Camera-mount Directional Microphone with Rycote Lyre Shock Mounting, Directional Condenser Shotgun Microphone.
We all know that when the multi-award-winning Rode company puts its mind to creating a mic, it's going to be solid, rugged, and have superb sound quality for the price. Based on the latest 'Film industry' technology, the Rode VideoMic is a professional-grade shotgun mic designed for use with high-quality Digital Video Cameras. The VideoMic represents Rode's genius for innovation in the field of designing microphones specifically for video applications.
With a frequency range from 40Hz to 20kHz and maximum SPL of 134dB, the VideoMic exhibits low noise and an unusually wide bandwidth for its size. It is ultra-lightweight yet rugged due to ABS construction. The VideoMic is powered by a standard 9-volt battery, providing up to 100 hours of use, and offers a Low Battery LED status indicator. The VideoMic provides a dual-mono output to any consumer video camera or personal recorder with a 3.5mm microphone input.
With the VideoMic, you’re getting ultimate control over your audio with a bass roll-off and selectable pad. The built-in highpass filter rolls of frequencies under 80Hz, preventing unwanted traffic or low room noise from ruining your take. And to prevent any distortion on your audio channels, the VideoMic includes a selectable pad between –10dB and –2dB so that your audio never clips.
Rode integrated the Rycote Lyre suspension-style shockmount for unbothered recording in any conditions. By not worrying about snapped rubber bands and unexpected vibrations, the Rode VideoMic provides a hassle-free recording setup. Also included is a 3/8-inch threaded shoe mount for simple attachment to boompoles.
No matter what your needs, the VideoMic is connectable to a vast collection of accessories from Rode. Utilize the SC4 short cable for connecting to your smartphone on the fly, or the VXLR adapter to get studio quality sound through a dedicated preamp or mixer. Whether you’re a vlogger or travelling journalist, Sweetwater is confident that the Rode VideoMic is the right solution for your on-the-go video setup.
