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 Rode'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.
Based around a matched pair of high
sensitivity 1/2"
cardioid condenser capsules in a coincident
XY pair, the
Stereo VideoMic Pro provides a wide
stereo image with natural depth.
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. Additionally the lightweight yet robust multi-strand cable provides excellent acoustic decoupling from the camera and offers significantly lower
noise transference than traditional
audio cable.
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.
