The RODE Video Mic is a professional grade 1/2" condenser shotgun microphone designed for use with consumer video cameras & personal audio recorders. The integrated Rycote Lyre based shock mounting system isolates the Video Mic capsule & electronics from its all-metal shoe mount, providing isolation from external physical factors that may cause unwanted rumble & vibrations in the microphone. Constructed from a single piece of hard-wearing thermoplastic, the Lyre provides superior acoustic suspension to traditional elastic solutions, & will never wear out, sag or snap. Its standard sized shoe mount also
Includes:: a 3/8" thread in the base for easy mounting on a boom pole or st&. By employing a super-cardioid polar pattern the Video Mic becomes highly directional, focusing on the subject in front of the camera, & minimising any surrounding sounds. In addition to the microphone's native 40 Hz-20k Hz response a selectable high-pass filter at 80 Hz is available, which will prevent low end noise such as air conditioners & traffic from being recorded. A -10d B & -20d B level attenuation (or PAD), selectable from inside the battery compartment, allows recording of loud sound sources, such as live music or motorsport.
