The Interview PRO is a broadcast-quality handheld condenser microphone for use with any RØDE Series IV wireless system. This includes the Wireless PRO, Wireless ME and Wireless GO II compact wireless systems for recording audio into a camera, smartphone, or even a computer.
It can also be paired directly to the RØDECaster Pro II, RØDECaster Duo, and Streamer X, just like an XLR microphone, making it ideal for podcasting, small presentations, or streaming applications where creators need the freedom of a wireless microphone. Utilizing RØDE’s state-of-the-art Series IV 2.4GHz digital transmission with 128-bit encryption, it delivers stable wireless audio with a range of up to 200m (line of sight) and is optimized for close-range operation.
Featuring a professional-grade condenser capsule, the Interview PRO delivers rich, detailed voice reproduction, and its omnidirectional polar pattern makes it very forgiving when it comes to mic placement, making it perfect for interviews, presentations and other voice applications. RØDE’s GainAssist technology – which utilizes intelligent algorithms to automatically control the mic’s audio levels on the fly – ensures that the signal being sent to the receiver is perfectly balanced and minimizes the risk of clipping.
32-bit float on-board recording
It also features 32-bit float on-board recording, allowing users to record directly on-board with no chance of the audio clipping. 32GB of internal memory offers over 40 hours of record time, with a dedicated button for stopping and starting recording. Not only does this mean users will always have a clean backup of their audio, but it also allows the Interview PRO to be used as a standalone field recorder, with no need to connect to a receiver, making it incredibly versatile.
Essentially, the Interview PRO combines all of the features of the Wireless PRO with a high-quality professional handheld microphone. The capsule’s internal shock mounting ensures minimal handling noise and an internal pop filter reduces plosives. Plus, it includes a high-quality windshield for recording outdoors.
