RODE Stereo VideoMic Pro On-camera Microphone with EQ controls

RODE Stereo VideoMic Pro Stereo On-camera Microphone

Building on the success of the VideoMic Pro, the de facto standard for DSLR on-camera audio, and the original Stereo VideoMic, the new Rode Stereo VideoMic Pro provides a high-quality stereo option for videographers, is ideal for recording music, and has the atmospheric ambiance essential to building a realistic audio scene.

The Stereo VideoMic Pro is a high-quality stereo on-camera microphone, designed to allow filmmakers to capture realistic ambient audio from a wide variety of sound sources. Featuring a matched pair of high-sensitivity ½-inch cardioid condenser capsules in a coincident XY pair, the Stereo VideoMic Pro delivers a wide stereo image with natural depth. Other professional features include an integrated Rycote Lyre shock mounting system that provides excellent isolation from external vibrations, a three-step gain control, a 75Hz high-pass filter, and a high-density foam windshield for recording in adverse weather conditions.

Based on a matched pair of high-sensitivity cardioid condenser capsules in a coincident XY pair, the Stereo VideoMic Pro provides a wide stereo image with natural depth.

The Rode Stereo VideoMic Pro builds on the feature set of the VideoMic Pro, with an ergonomic form factor perfectly suited to DSLRs, consumer camcorders, and large-sensor video cameras. The integrated shock mounting system provides superior isolation from vibration and mechanical noise that can otherwise degrade the recording quality. Additionally, the lightweight yet robust multi-strand cable provides excellent acoustic decoupling from the camera and offers significantly lower noise transference than traditional audio cable.

The user-friendly rear of the microphone body features power and equalization controls, including a high pass filter at 75 Hz, 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.

Like the VideoMic Pro, the Stereo VideoMic Pro 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.

The RODE Stereo VideoMic Pro is designed and made in Australia, and covered by RODE Microphones’ industry-leading 10-year warranty.
