RØDE today announced a dual transmitter version of the Wireless ME, the budget grab-and-go wireless mic system. RØDE was early in the ultra compact wireless audio space and has continued to release new versions such as the Wireless Pro.
The Wireless ME will be released in a dual set, featuring two transmitters and one receiver, available in either black or white. The Wireless ME combines the same sound quality and innovative features that RØDE wireless microphones are known for with exceptional ease of use.
In addition to its state-of-the-art Series IV 2.4GHz digital transmission and universal compatibility with cameras, smartphones, and computers, the Wireless ME features RØDE’s GainAssist technology, which utilizes intelligent algorithms that automatically control audio levels on the fly, ensuring pristine audio in almost any recording application. This makes it incredibly simple to use, delivering professional sound quality without requiring setup or tweaking. It is also the only wireless microphone with a mic built into the receiver for recording audio from in front of and behind the camera simultaneously.
Having a dual-channel receiver is a big deal as it simplifies capturing two subjects, especially when using the camera to record the audio directly. The option to get the Wireless ME in white instead of the original black also makes it ideal for creators who are looking for a discreet solution when working with talent who typically wear lighter-colored clothing –such as weddings or business professionals.
