The RØDE VideoMic is a 1/2” shotgun condenser microphone with professional features designed for consumer video cameras and compact audio recorders. Its Rycote Lyre suspension isolates the VideoMic capsule and prevents handling noise by avoiding direct contact between the microphone housing and the mount. The Lyre band is made from durable and nearly wear-free thermoplastic, ensuring a disturbance-free suspension of the microphone. The hot shoe at the bottom is equipped with a 3/8” thread and can be mounted on a microphone stand or boom pole. With its supercardioid pattern, the VideoMic captures only signals in front of the capsule, while side and background noises are reduced. The frequency response ranges from 40 Hz to 20 kHz and can be limited with the 80 Hz high-pass filter to avoid low-frequency interference. The pad switch (–10 dB or –20 dB) is located in the battery compartment and is ideal for loud environments such as live concerts and motorsports. The RØDE VideoMic is made in Australia and allows for a free extension of the RØDE warranty to 10 years.
