To enhance usability, the Rode VideoMic Pro offers a three-position level control (-10dB, 0dB, +20dB) to optimize recording levels for different scenarios. It also features a high-pass filter switch, reducing low-frequency rumble and background noise.
Overall, the Rode VideoMic Pro is a reliable and versatile microphone, well-suited for professional video production, vlogging, and content creation. It provides clear and accurate audio recording, making it an excellent choice for capturing high-quality sound on the go.

General Operation
Shotgun microphones such as the VideoMic Pro have a narrow
pick-up angle or polar response, and so can be used to great effect
with cameras for news gathering, weddings or sporting events.
The VideoMic Pro can be used in any situation where you want to
listen to what’s in the shot, not what’s at the side or out of view.
Regular use of the VideoMic Pro will provide you with better
results as you become more familiar with its sound and pick-up
characteristics.

best possible battery life. The VideoMic Pro will run continuously for
over 70 hours with a high quality alkaline or lithium battery.
Battery performance may vary depending on ambient temperature
and battery shelf life, so it is wise to always carry a spare battery.
We suggest always installing a fresh battery when the application is
critical, with no opportunity to re-shoot.
Always remember to switch off the VideoMic Pro when not in use.
9V
The VideoMic Pro runs on a standard 9V
battery. (ANS1:1604A or IEC:6LR61).
We recommend using a high quality
lithium or alkaline battery to achieve the
Installing the battery
To install the battery, open the battery cover located on the front of
the VideoMic Pro, just under the windshield foam. To remove the
cover, firmly push upwards on the indentation with your finger. Pull
the base of the cover out to completely remove it, and provide access
to the battery compartment (see Figure 1).
Insert the battery with the negative terminal (-) on top. The battery
will protrude a little until it is pushed in by replacing the battery cover.
Replacing the battery cover
To replace the battery cover, insert the top at an angle, hooking it
under the lever indicated by the arrow in Figure 2. Then push down
at the base (pushing the battery into the compartment) until the
bottom clips of the battery door click into place.

Новый микрофон Stereo VideoMic Pro Rycote обеспечивает высокое качество звука. Идеален для видеооператоров и для записи музыки и аудиосцен с ощущением реалистичной окружающей атмосферы.
Stereo VideoMic Pro Rycote использует в конструкции подобранную пару высокочувствительных, полудюймовых, кардиоидных, конденсаторных капсюлей в XY стерео конфигурации. Обладает широкой стерео базой и естественной глубиной звука.
Новшеством Stereo VideoMic Pro Rycote является встроенная антивибрационная система крепления Rycote® Lyre®, которая разделяет микрофонную капсулу и электронику с крепежем, обеспечивая изоляцию от внешних физических факторов, таких как гул и вибрации. Изготовлен из цельного куска износостойкого термопластика. Благодаря своей эластичности, Lyre® обеспечивает превосходную акустическую подвеску, никогда не изнашивается, не провисает и не ломается.
Stereo VideoMic Pro Rycote, благодаря своей эргономике, превосходно подходит для цифровых зеркальных фотоаппаратов, бытовых и профессиональных видеокамер. Новейший, усиленный кевларовый кабель, в совокупности с улучшенной ветрозащитой, обеспечивают отличную акустическую развязку с камерой, значительно пониженный уровень шума и более высокую чувствительность.
Удобно расположенные переключатели на задней части корпуса микрофона позволяют управлять питанием, уровнями сигнала и фильтром на 75Гц, который вырезает шум, производимый работой кондиционеров, транспорта и других нежелательных помех низких частот.
Аттенюатор (PAD) на -10dB позволяет уменьшить чувствительность микрофона в ситуациях, таких как громкая живая музыка или громкий шум на спортивных мероприятиях.
Подобно VideoMic Pro, Stereo VideoMic Pro Rycote имеет переключатель для усиления сигнала на + 20дБ для записи более высокого качества на цифровые зеркальные камеры. Как правило низкокачественное предусиление таких камер можно уменьшить за счет усиления сигнала с микрофона, что приводит к более низкому уровню шума и гораздо чистой записи.
