Announcing the VideoMic HD - The World's First Digital Recorder Video Microphone

The VideoMic HD's audio DNA is directly inherited from RØDE's flagship NTG3 professional shotgun microphone. Incorporating the same capsule and sharing much of the electronic design of the NTG3, the VideoMic HD is a true condenser super-cardioid shotgun microphone with RF bias technology. This makes it virtually immune to RF interference and condensation that can cause other condenser microphones to fail.

RØDE has incorporated a high quality digital recorder into the body of the VideoMic HD!

This completely removes the requirement for a separate audio recorder, while still also providing throughput of the audio signal to the camera for a superior reference audio track.

An integrated headphone jack with level control allows users to monitor their recording in real-time, while a high contrast LCD display on the rear of the microphone provides visual metering as well as basic recording control.

The microphone body is constructed from rugged, lightweight die-cast aluminium and features a quick release cam lever for simple and secure mounting in any universally sized camera shoe mount.

Stereo On-camera Microphone

Building on the success of the VideoMic Pro, which launched in early 2011 and quickly became the defacto standard for DSLR on-camera audio, and RØDE's original Stereo VideoMic, the new Stereo VideoMic Pro provides a high quality stereo option for videographers, and is ideal for recording music, and the atmospheric ambience essential in building a realistic audio scene.

The Stereo VideoMic Pro builds on the feature set of the VideoMic Pro, with an ergonomic form factor perfectly suited to DSLR, consumer camcorders and large-sensor video cameras. The integrated shock mounting system provides superior isolation from vibration and mechanical noise that can otherwise degrade the recording quality.

"The release of the Stereo VideoMic Pro reaffirms RØDE's category ownership of the on-camera microphone, and gives yet another tool to filmmakers, content creators and musicians" commented Damien Wilson, RØDE Microphones' Global Sales & Marketing Director. "The audio quality of this microphone really is outstanding, and I can't wait to hear some of the great content our customers will create with it."
