RODESVMP-R Stereo VideoMic Pro

OVERVIEW
The Rycote® Lyre® shock mounting system is now onboard the new Stereo VideoMic Pro, providing broadcast recording quality for on-camera microphones. This microphone features a matched pair of 1⁄2” condenser capsules in an XY stereo configuration, along with improved foam windscreen and ultra lightweight, compact form factor. It also has on mic power and EQ controls, as well as a two step High Pass Filter and three position level control for versatility. The microphone is powered by a 9V battery and has a Kevlar reinforced braided cable for durability. It can be easily mounted on a camera or boompole with the billeted metal camera shoe mount.

The Stereo VideoMic Pro is perfect for videographers, musicians, and anyone looking to capture realistic audio scenes. It features a high quality capsule with a matched pair of cardioid condensers in an XY pair, and an integrated Rycote® Lyre® shock mounting system for superior acoustic suspension. Its design is user friendly, with power and equalisation controls on the rear of the microphone body. It also has a -10dB PAD and +20dB level boost for recording loud sound sources with DSLR cameras. The Stereo VideoMic Pro is proudly designed and made in Australia and comes with a 10 year warranty from RØDE Microphones.

About The RODESVMP-R Stereo VideoMic Pro
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. Based around the all new capsule with its matched pair of high sensitivity ½”cardioid condensers in a coincident XY pair, the Stereo VideoMic Pro provides a wide stereo image with natural depth.

Another new addition is the integrated Rycote® Lyre® based shock mounting system, which separates the Stereo VideoMic Pro capsule and electronics from its mount, providing isolation from external physical factors that may cause unwanted rumble and vibrations in the microphone. Constructed from a single piece of hard-wearing thermoplastic, the Lyre® provides superior acoustic suspension to traditional elastic solutions, and will never wear out, sag or snap.

The Stereo VideoMic Pro, with its ergonomic form factor, make it perfectly suited to DSLR, consumer camcorders and large-sensor video cameras. The newly designed Kevlar reinforced braided cable, as well as the improved foam windscreen, provides excellent acoustic decoupling from the camera and offers significantly lower noise transference and higher sensitivity.

The user friendly designed rear of the microphone body features the power and equalisation controls, including a high pass filter at 75Hz which is designed to cut out the noise generated by air conditioning, traffic and other undesirable low frequency interference.
A -10dB PAD allows the user to reduce the sensitivity of the microphone, making it suitable for recording loud sound sources such as live music or at sporting events.

Like the VideoMic Pro, the Stereo VideoMic Pro features a +20dB level boost specifically designed to provide a higher quality signal with DSLR cameras. When activated, the typically low quality camera preamp level can be reduced, resulting in a lower noise floor and much clearer recording.
The RØDE Stereo VideoMic Pro is designed and made in Australia, and covered by RØDE Microphones’ industry leading 10 year warranty.
