The Rode
Stereo VideoMic is a broadcast quality
stereo microphone designed for use with camcorders, DSLR cameras and portable
audio recorders.
Two high resolution 1/2"
condenser capsules are mounted in a fixed X/Y
stereo array, providing a very natural
stereo recording, while still offering a high
level of rear rejection.
The
Stereo VideoMic is an ideal
microphone for capturing environmental and ambient sounds, as well as live music. For dialogue and
directional applications the Rode
VideoMic and
VideoMic Pro are recommended.
An in-built shock mounting system isolates the
Stereo VideoMic capsule and electronics from its mount, providing isolation from external physical factors that may cause unwanted rumble and vibrations in the
microphone.
Its standard sized shoe mount also includes a 3/8" thread in the base for easy mounting on a boom pole or stand. (Note that cameras with proprietary sized mounts may require an additional adaptor).
In addition to the
microphone's
native 40Hz-20kHz response a selectable
high-pass filter at 80Hz is available, which will prevent low end
noise such as air conditioners and traffic from being recorded.
A -10dB
level attenuation (or
PAD), selectable from the rear face of the
microphone, allows recording of loud
sound sources, such as live music or motorsport.
The
Stereo VideoMic is ideal for use with DSLR cameras such as the Canon 5DMkII, Canon 7D, Canon 1D, Canon 550D/T2i, Canon 60D, Nikon D7000, Nikon D5100, Panasonic GH1 and Panasonic GH2.
The Rode
Stereo VideoMic is covered by Rode Microphones' industry leading 10 year warranty.
