RØDE states the Wireless Micro makes it easy to capture crystal-clear wireless audio for smartphone content, removing as much friction from the creative process as possible. The transmitters are automatically paired and feature integrated clips, magnetic mounts, and built-in, high-quality microphones, so they’re ready to roll right away. Simply connect the receiver directly to a phone, clip on the transmitters, and start recording – no cables or complicated controls to worry about.
The Wireless Micro also features RØDE’s intelligent GainAssist technology, which automatically controls volume levels on-the-fly, removing the need to constantly fuss over settings and mitigating the risk of accidentally ruining a take with clipped or quiet recordings. This feature means creators can record upload-ready audio right away, no matter how much of a background they have in audio.
Each transmitter features a patent-pending acoustic chamber design, which houses the microphone and is purpose-built to mitigate wind noise and capture clear audio while remaining as compact as possible. The omnidirectional pickup pattern captures sound from all around, making
placement and positioning super simple. Combining this with GainAssist makes for perfectly balanced, even audio, even if the microphone moves during recording or its placement isn’t ideal.
The Wireless Micro was born of RØDE’s mission to condense its exceptional legacy of pristine wireless audio into its most compact and portable format yet. The result is the ultimate pocket-sized companion for creators on the go, with a super sleek and premium design that inspires confidence with every use.
The transmitters’ ultra-compact form factor and ultra-lightweight build – weighing just 12 grams –make them perfect for clipping onto talent while remaining discreet on-camera, and their splashproof design means they can even handle inclement weather. The pocket-sized charging case keeps the system safe and secure on the move and, with an extra two recharges on-board for a total battery life of 21 hours, the Wireless Micro is ready whenever and wherever the creator takes it.
The RØDE Wireless Micro is $149 USD and available to order at your local RØDE dealer.
