Rode VideoMicro

Compact, lightweight microphone that was designed to improve the audio quality of videos, perfect for capturing incredible audio to accompany inspiring vision. It incorporates a high-quality 1/2” cardioid condenser microphone capsule for great quality audio recordings when used with a wide range of cameras. A directional microphone, it reduces distracting peripheral sounds and focuses on the audio in front of the camera. Its pickup is more forgiving than RØDE’s other on-camera microphones providing a more natural sound when recording indoors. The microphone body is made from aluminium, giving it a high level of RF rejection, and is finished in RØDE’s high-grade ceramic anti-glare black coating. Included with the microphone is a camera shoe mount featuring a Rycote Lyre shock mount. Featuring a suspension structure composed of a hard-wearing thermoplastic, it is far more effective at minimising unwanted vibrations, handling and cable-borne noise than traditional elastic suspensions. Virtually indestructible, the shock mount will never sag, snap, wear out or require rethreading to maintain its effectiveness. Also included is the WS9 synthetic furry wind shield with foam inner cell, designed for use in outdoor scenarios where wind and environmental noise can inhibit recordings. No battery is required for use, the microphone is powered by camera plug-in power (min. 3V). Frequency range: 100 Hz-20 kHz. Max. SPL: 104 dB (@1 kHz, 1% THS into 1kOhm load). Sensitivity: -33.0dB re 1 V/Pa (22 mV @ 94 dB SPL) +/- 2 dB @ 1kHz. Equivalent noise level (A-weighted): 20 dB-A. Dimensions: 21 x 80 mm. Weight: 42 g.
