Rode

The NT-USB Mini brings the pristine sound quality of RØDE's world-class studio microphones into a compact, easy-to-use USB microphone. Designed to deliver crystal-clear, professional-quality audio directly to a computer or tablet, it's the perfect microphone for gamers, podcasters, musicians, streamers and content creators who want to be heard in full resolution. In addition, no driver installations are required and the device is powered via USB.

The SC4 is a high quality shielded adapter for connecting a microphone with a 3.5mm output to the TRRS socket of a smartphone or tablet. It is suitable for users who want to connect their RØDE VideoMic to their iPhone and record using the RØDE Rec app (iOS). The gold plated contacts are colour coded: Grey indicates the TRRS output. Although the SC4 was originally designed for an iPhone or iPad, it is also suitable for many Android-based devices. Although you can connect stereo microphones to the SC4, the channels are combined into a mono signal for compatibility with the TRRS input.

The Procaster is a large-diaphragm dynamic speaker microphone that has been specially developed for use in broadcast and dubbing studios as well as for professional podcasting.The dynamic 28 mm capsule, which is perfectly tuned to speech, is positioned far behind the pickup grille, resulting in a reduced proximity effect. Highly effective internal pop protection and insensitivity to HF and other electromagnetic interference fields make the Procaster the perfect tool for all on-air applications.

At just 10 cm long, the M5 is one of the shortest small membrane pencils on the market - ideal for placement in critical areas and extremely inconspicuous thanks to the black ceramic coating. The aluminium housing is nickel-plated to prevent corrosion, after which enamel powder is applied extremely evenly using an electrostatic process and then fired. The result: a very high-quality and scratch-resistant finish that still looks good even after years of use.

The M3 can be operated either via phantom power or with a 9 V block that can be inserted into the battery compartment. This makes it independent of any external power supply, especially when used outdoors. Other features include a switchable high-pass filter for suppressing low-frequency noise and attenuating the proximity effect, a two-stage switchable pre-attenuation (-10 dB/-20 dB), the on/off switch and the battery control LED. The scope of delivery includes a windscreen and a stand clamp.

The Rode MiCon™ system allows easy adaptation of the Rode HS1 headset, PinMic and lavalier microphone to a variety of common wireless systems. The MICON-2 is designed for stereo mini jack sockets (3.5mm) with a power supply of at least 1V.

A dynamic microphone specially developed for voice applications, which is ideal for podcasts, streaming and for use in broadcast, radio play and dubbing studios: it sounds detailed, full, silky and balanced. Thanks to the XLR and USB connection, the PodMic USB White can be used flexibly. Either in the classic way via XLR with a good preamp/audio interface or digitally via the USB-C socket with the microphone signal into a computer or a smart or iPhone®. The audio interface built into the PodMic USB White is first-class - with an ultra-low-noise high-gain preamp and audiophile A/D converters. The DSP chip built into the PodMic USB White is spectacular and extremely helpful. This allows the speaker signal to be given a highly professional sound in the microphone with a high-pass filter, noise gate, compressor and Aphex®.To the left of the USB-C connection is a 3.5 mm headphone socket so that you can hear yourself without latency during recording (direct monitoring). The headphone volume control has an integrated push button that can be used to switch from direct monitoring to computer signal. An LED under the USB-C connection indicates the respective status: green=microphone signal (direct monitoring) and red=signal from the computer or mobile device. Weighing just under 1 kg, the PodMic USB White has a fork mount that allows it to be attached to a table stand or microphone arm and then conveniently aligned towards the speaker. There is no need to use a spider, the microphone capsule itself is elastically suspended and the swivelling mount is internally decoupled from the body so that there are no problems with structure-borne noise. The PodMic USB White is used from the front, a distance of approx. 3 to 20 cm is ideal. As a dynamic microphone, the PodMic USB White is much less sensitive than a condenser microphone - ideal for studios and recording rooms where ambient noise is a problem.The PodMic USB White can be updated with the latest firmware using the free RØDE Central configuration software. RØDE Central is also used to make the desired DSP settings in the microphone. Once made, the selected settings are retained. Note: Due to its special circuitry, the PodMic USB White does not tolerate phantom power via XLR. Although it does not break, it delivers a level that is far too low when 48 volts are applied. This is not a defect. If you want to use the PodMic USB White in analogue mode via XLR with an audio interface (there is absolutely no reason not to), you should make sure that phantom power is not activated at the relevant input. The housing of the PodMic USB White is made of solid brass, the double-layered microphone capsule is made of stainless steel. The microphone is manufactured at RØDE's headquarters in Silverwater, Sydney. It comes with an attachable foam pop shield and a 3 metre USB-C to USB-C cable.

Versatile complete system with two transmitter modules and a 2-channel receiver, ideal for interviews and other occasions where two sound sources need to be recorded or transmitted simultaneously and separately. The small transmitter modules already have a built-in microphone and can be conveniently attached to clothing with their clip. The modules each have an internal LiPo battery that allows up to 7 hours of operation. The range of the radio link is a full 260 metres in a clear line of sight.The signal quality is at its best, both analogue and digital: crystal clear and ready for immediate transmission. The transmitters work with RØDE's ingenious GainAssist automatic levelling system. The limiting sound pressure level of the built-in microphone is a whopping 123.5 dB SPL - so ugly distortions are virtually impossible. If you wish, you can record the sound directly in the transmitter module with 32-bit float; the internal memory is sufficient for more than 40 hours. The receiver module provides two-channel audio output, either analogue via the receiver's 3.5 mm TRRS socket or digital via the USB-C socket. In addition to a camera, the receiver can also be connected to a smartphone or iPhone. The necessary USB cables are included in the scope of delivery. The highlight: If you use the USB-C port for sound output, you can use the 3.5 mm socket for headphones to listen in on the recording. As this is a four-pin TRRS socket, you can also connect a headset or wired mobile phone headphones and thus integrate a third microphone signal. Wireless GO comes with a comprehensive range of accessories, including a triple USB strip (SC33), a 3.5 mm TRS connection cable (SC2) to the camera, a USB-C to Lightning cable (SC21), a USB-C to USB-C cable (SC22), three fur windscreens for outdoor recordings and a high-quality neoprene carrying case. The modules are manufactured at RØDE's precision facility in Sydney, Australia.The TX transmitter modulesEach of the two 4x4 cm transmitter modules has a high-quality microphone built in, which has been optimised for voice transmission. The clip on the back makes it easy to attach the transmitter module to clothing. For outdoor recordings, you should always use one of the supplied fur windscreens. Simply pull back the hair and attach the windscreen so that the two white dots match the two black dots on the module. Then turn it a quarter turn to the right and it will sit securely on the module.If the transmitter module is too conspicuous in the picture, you can use the 3.5 mm TRS socket on the side and connect an external microphone - for example the Lavalier GO or Lavalier II - there. The TRS socket has an external thread so that the plug of the Lavalier II can be screwed on with its union nut. This makes it impossible to accidentally loosen the plug. GainAssist technologyGainAssist, RØDE's intelligent automatic gain control system, which permanently adjusts the internal gain setting in the transmitter module to the respective sound source, is very helpful. In this way, you are protected from surprises and the audio signal is always transmitted at a healthy level and with the best possible intelligibility.Recording in the transmitter module, 32-bit float audioWireless GO offers a recording function directly in the transmitter module and an internal 32 GB audio memory for this purpose, which is sufficient for more than 40 hours. The recording is uncompressed as a WAV file with 32-bit float audio. The advantage: as long as the limit sound pressure level of 123 dB is not exceeded, it is virtually impossible to distort the signal through digital clipping. Very loud passages with flattened level peaks can be subsequently equalised by normalisation during post-production in a DAW compatible with 32-bit float.The RX receiver moduleDSLR film-makers can attach the receiver module to the camera's hot shoe. The 3.5 mm socket on the module is then connected to the camera's 3.5 mm microphone input using the short TRS spiral cable supplied. You can then set whether the signals from the two transmitters are output separately (TX1 left/TX2 right) or in mono - in this case, the signals from TX1 and TX2 are combined and recorded identically on the left and right channels of the camera so that the sound comes directly from the centre during playback in the stereo image. The two buttons on the front are used for configuration; the colour LC display provides information on the input level, level reduction, mute status, battery charge status of the transmitter and receiver, connection status, display mode and output level or output mode.Flexibly usable outputsThe USB-C port of the receiver module is not only used to charge the battery, but also as a digital output to output the sound to a smart phone or iPhone. The scope of delivery includes both a USB-C to USB-C cable and a USB-C to Lightning cable. If you use the USB-C port for sound output, the 3.5 mm TRRS socket is free to connect headphones and control the audio signals directly during recording. You can also connect a headset or mobile phone headphones and also use the microphone.ConfigurationThe free "RØDE Central" software can be used to update the firmware, activate additional functions and make special settings. For example, you can activate the safety mode, which makes the sound output on the right channel 20 dB quieter. If the sound on the main track (left channel) becomes audibly distorted at any point (e.g. due to an unexpectedly loud sound source), you can simply switch back to the quieter safety track in post-production. The Auto On/Off function is also interesting for DSLR film makers. Once activated, the receiver module switches on and off automatically together with the camera. The receiver detects the 4 volt plug-in power applied to the camera's microphone input.

The RØDE Lavalier is a discreet, broadcast-quality clip-on microphone for all conceivable applications. The lavalier's low self-noise, practical omnidirectional pattern and unobtrusive design make it the ideal microphone for film, television, video, theatre, houses of worship and any other situation where the speaker should be heard but the microphone should be hidden from view. A 1.2m long shielded cable with Kevlar® reinforcement is used for the connection, which can withstand a pulling force of up to 10kg without complaint. Thanks to the included fur windscreen, the microphone can also be used outdoors. Also included are clips for discreet cable routing without restricting the user's freedom of movement. The unbreakable and waterproof transport box provides secure protection for the microphone as well as the cable, clips and other accessories. To maximise flexibility, RØDE has developed a MiCon™ connection system that allows the lavalier to be connected to a wide range of wireless systems, mixing consoles, cameras and field recorders. The RØDE Lavalier is manufactured in Australia and comes with an innovative 5-year warranty from RØDE Microphones: 12 months full warranty and after-sales warranty of a replacement microphone for only US$99 during the extended warranty period.
