  • Built-in Battery Door makes replacing the battery a breeze and far less cumbersome than previous VideoMic models - plus it won't get lost.
  • Power options - the VideoMic Pro+ can be powered by the all-new and included RØDE LB-1 Lithium-Ion Rechargeable Battery, 2 x AA Batteries or continuously via Micro USB.
  • Digital Switching - will ensure the user has ultimate capture of the audio signal at the source, reducing post production and editing times. the Digital Switching includes:
    • 2-Stage High Pass Filter to reduce low frequencies such as rumble from traffic or air conditioning.
    • 3-Stage Gain Control, with +20dB function – designed to improve audio quality on DSLR or mirrorless cameras.
    • High Frequency Boost will boost high frequencies enhancing detail and clarity in the recording.
    • Safety Channel to help ensure the signal does not clip when unexpected spikes occur.

 

 

"The VideoMic Pro+ is a new benchmark in on-camera microphones," comments Damien Wilson, RØDE and Freedman Group CEO.
