• Camera shoe mount with 3/8” thread for easy boompole mounting

The RODE VideoMic Pro is a true shotgun microphone designed for use with camcorders, DSLR cameras and portable audio recorders as a source of primary and reference audio.

At the heart of the VideoMic Pro is an all-new 1/2″ condenser capsule that provides broadcast-quality audio via a 3.5mm minijack connector (outputting the mono signal to both left and right channels) with an incredibly low self-noise of just 14db. A super-cardioid polar pattern ensures that surrounding audio is minimised, and your recording is focused on the subject in front of the camera.

The integrated Rycote® Lyre® based shock mounting system separates the VideoMic Pro capsule and electronics from its mount, providing isolation from external physical factors that may cause unwanted rumble and vibrations in the microphone. Constructed from a single piece of hard-wearing thermoplastic, the Lyre® provides superior acoustic suspension to traditional elastic solutions, and will never wear out, sag or snap.

Easily accessible on the rear face of the microphone are the power, filter and level controls. In addition to the microphone’s native 40Hz-20kHz response a selectable high-pass filter at 80Hz is available, which will prevent low end noise such as air conditioners and traffic from being recorded.

Below these controls are the level settings, which attenuate or boost the recorded level as required. The -10dB level attenuation (or PAD) is ideal for recording loud sound sources, such as live music, motorsport, or interviews where the subject is very close to the camera. The +20dB level boost is designed for use with DSLR cameras, allowing the user to reduce the camera’s preamp level (or mic-input level), effectively reducing the amount of noise generated by the camera’s comparatively low quality audio circuitry.

The microphone uses a standard sized shoe mount for on camera use, and features a 3/8″ thread in the base of the mount for easy boom pole mounting.

The VideoMic pro is battery powered, and provides over 70 hours recording from a single 9V battery.

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

Inputs

24-bit 128x oversampling ADC.

Two cardioid mics, gain listed as +7 ~ +47 dB.

3.5mm stereo mic input (powered): 2kΩ, -7 ~ -47 dBu.

Two combo ¼” or XLR Mic/instrument jacks.

XLR: pin 2 hot, 1kΩ balanced, -10 ~ -42 dBu.

XLR has 24V or 48V phantom power if needed.

¼” unbalanced: 480kΩ, +2 ~ -32 dBu.

No line-level input. For line-level inputs, use an external 20 dB pad (not included) with the connections above.

USB for use as an outboard DAC.

Storage

SD cards (16MB ~ 2GB), SDHC cards (4GB ~ 32 GB).

USB connection.

Outputs

24-bit 128x oversampliing DAC.

Only one 3.5mm stereo output with variable level. Use this either for headphones or for a variable line-level output, but not both at the same time.

This output has the same output level (1V RMS max) and source impedance (12 Ω) as an iPod Touch.

Paradoxically, the headphone output is rated simultaneously as 10k Ω load or more for -10dBu, and also rated as 20mW per channel into 32 Ω for the headphones.

USB for use as an outboard mic/preamp/ADC input to a computer.

Mono speaker amplifier rated 400 mW into 8 Ω. No speaker connector; internal speaker only.

FIle Formats

Maximum file size: 2 GB.

WAV

16 or 24 bit.

Power

Two AA cells, rated 6 hours (11 hours in “stamina” mode only at 16/44.1).

Alkaline or Ni-MH AA cells.

USB power.

Included AC adapter or DC 5V 1 amp jack.

Display

1.9″ black-and-white LCD.
