Watch the launch of the new Rode microphone models and their accessories!
Rode Microphones is a brand of microphones and accessories for professional cameras and camcorders. The brand born in the 90s in Australia is a reference in professional recordings in music, video and film studios; interviews and journalistic programs; events and live streams. The Rode microphone is increasingly present in the day-to-day life of audio and video professionals.
- After Peter Freedman inherited Freedman Electronics.
- He imported 20 microphones from a famous Chinese camera brand and saw that they had no high-quality audio capture and transmission.
- From there he began producing independent microphones for professional cameras and camcorders with one goal: to ensure the quality of the transmission to the cameraman.
One of the first microphones was the Rode NT-1, initiating a series of microphones called “Shotgun Microphones” (Rode NT-2 Microphone, NT-3 Microphone, NT4 Microphone, SHOTGUN NTG-1 Microphone, SHOTGUN NTG-2 Microphone, Shotgun Microphones NTG-3 and others), in a more anatomical, lightweight, higher range and quality format at a price accessible to amateur photographers, thus emerging one of the coins that is maintained today.
Shotgun microphones have high audio capture power, with the most varied models. There are several options such as cardioids, supercaoids, omnidirectional, directional options that are designed to fit a wide range of recordings and audio capture.
Among the advances, the SHOTGUN NTG-2 Microphone is the most sought after, for having a lightweight and resistant body, a supercardioid pattern, minimizing noise in the off-axis sections while the front of the capsule accurately reproduces the contribution audio signal. it’s already an older model, the quality stays.
Rode has continued to develop professional microphones for cameras and camcorders to make them more compact and generate excellent quality. Like, for example, VideoMic Pro, it’s an advanced Rode stereo microphone designed to meet the demands of cameramen and musicians. it is cardioid, that is, it captures it on a heart-shaped axis on the front of the microphone, thus rejecting the external noise on what is recorded, whether it is a musical instrument, a sung or spoken voice.
Another novelty is the internal positions of its X/Y audio receivers of the Rode VideoMic Pro microphone, which means that each capsule points in a different direction, but at a precise stereo capture angle. A stereo or stereo microphone, based on the principle of two ears?left and right?and captures the sound of these directions and redistributes it also according to the recorded sound, passing an incredible reality of audio playback.
The Rode VideoMic Pro microphone base has a universal claw for easy microphone placement in the camera by connecting its P2 connector. In addition, it has a system to reduce the noise caused by movements, in case it is not possible to place it under the accessory.
In addition to Rode’s impressive shotgun microphone range and new stereo microphone models (such as VideoMic Pro, ME and GO), Rode released the new Lapel PinMic microphones.
One of the main modifications to Rode’s lapel microphones was its new design, considered by some innovators, adapts to the complexion and tones of the clothes of the wearer, has improved the capture of audio acquiring new attributes, such as an omnidirectional stereo system?what was exclusive to other big brands until then?maintain the cost-benefit ratio of the purchase.
Rode PinMic’s Lapod microphone is available in different sizes, but all with the same diameter of only 3. 5 mm, easily passing through twins, collars and other confined spaces, without hindering speaker mobility.
Another innovation was the construction of the Lapela by Rode PinMic. The internal cable system works with high transmission quality, with gold internal armor to reduce audio loss, reduced electromagnetic interference and rubber as coating. The reception of the data is of guaranteed quality, because the exclusive reception system of the microphone company was developed by Rode: the PinMic, developed exclusively for the Lapela Rode microphone.
This Rode PinMic is compatible with multiple transmission devices, but has also been produced to manage and exceed competitive transmissions, as the loop microphone has a structure to work with Sennheiser transmitters without losing the quality of its transmission.
Although it is a recent technology, PinMic a Rode has developed MiCon connectors compatible with the most varied devices and high quality devices. These adapters are still available for a limited range of transmitters and receivers, but already cover a wide range of transmission quality installations.
Apart from the new microphone models for cameras and camcorders, Rode has developed a line of Rode Boom Rods perfectly assembled to microphones. There are carbon and aluminum models, with 5 different models, sizes and characteristics. The a unation of these equipment is great audio. stability and better results.
