RØDE VideoMic is a professional-grade 1/2" condenser shotgun microphone designed for use with consumer video cameras and personal audio recorders.

The integrated shock mount system based on the Rycote® Lyre isolates the VideoMic capsule and electronic components from its all-metal shoe mount, providing isolation from external physical factors that can cause unwanted noise and vibrations in the microphone. Constructed from a single piece of durable thermoplastic, the Lyre® provides superior acoustic suspension compared to traditional elastic solutions, and will never wear out, fall, or break.

Its standard shoe mount size also includes a 3/8" thread at the base for easy mounting on a pole or boom stand.

By employing a supercardioid polar pattern, the VideoMic becomes highly directional, focusing on the subject in front of the camera, and minimizing any ambient sound.

In addition to the microphone's native 40Hz-20kHz response, it features a selectable high-pass filter at 80Hz, which will prevent low-frequency noises such as air conditioning and traffic from being recorded.

A level attenuation (or PAD) of -10dB and -20dB, selectable from inside the battery compartment, allows for the recording of loud sound sources, such as live music or motor sports.

RØDE VideoMic is designed in Australia and is covered by RØDE's industry-leading 10-year microphone warranty.
