RØDE Microphones answers the call to professional and enthusiast videographers with the release of a completely new microphone designed for recording high fi delity audio with HDSLR cameras and high definition camcorders.
The new RØDE VideoMic Pro combines broadcast quality audio with an ultra compact and lightweight ergonomic design. Coming in at only 85g (3oz) and 150mm (6”) in length, the VideoMic Pro (VMP) builds on the benchmark set by the original RØDE VideoMic.
First released in 2004, the RØDE VideoMic provided high quality audio at an accessible price tag, giving consumers and independent filmmakers unprecedented creative freedom. Over the last six years it has become the industry standard and the world’s largest selling after-market microphone for consumer cameras.
The VideoMic Pro incorporates new features specific to high end video, while evolving many of the features that have made the VideoMic so successful.
Noise transference has been signifi cantly reduced using both a revised, more elegant shock mounting system and a lightweight premium cable.
As market leaders in the space it was only naturally that we create another product to meet the demand and the needs of category. The HDSLR revolution has really made cinematic video quality accessible at a consumer level for the fi rst time, and many users are demanding audio quality to match.
RØDE have answered their call with the VideoMic Pro.” Commented Damien Wilson, RØDE’s Global Sales & Marketing Manager
