Rode Stereo Video Mic

Posted on by

41CNoNJEXLL-1

The Stereo VideoMic Pro provides a high quality stereo option for videographers, and is ideal for recording music, and the atmospheric ambience essential in building a realistic audio scene.
Information
  • Based around a matched pair of high sensitivity ½”cardioid condenser capsules in a coincident XY pair, the Stereo VideoMic Pro provides a wide stereo image with natural depth.
  • The integrated shock mounting system provides superior isolation from vibration and mechanical noise that can otherwise degrade the recording quality.
  • The lightweight yet robust multi-strand cable provides acoustic decoupling from the camera and offers significantly lower noise transference than traditional audio cable.
  • The user friendly designed rear of the microphone body features the power and equalisation controls, including a high pass filter at 75Hz which is designed to cut out the noise generated by air conditioning, traffic and other undesirable low frequency interference.
  • A -10dB PAD allows the user to reduce the sensitivity of the microphone, making it suitable for recording loud sound sources such as live music or at sporting events.
  • Features a +20dB level boost specifically designed to provide a higher quality signal with DSLR cameras. When activated, the typically low quality camera preamp level can be reduced, resulting in a lower noise floor and much clearer recording.
