RØDE, a leading Australian audio brand, has announced a new wireless microphone system that promises to deliver unprecedented performance and features for filmmakers and content creators. The RØDE Wireless PRO is a compact, dual-channel system that uses state-of-the-art Series IV 2.4GHz digital transmission and 32-bit float on-board recording to ensure perfect audio capture in any situation.
What is 32-bit float recording and why is it a game-changer?
One of the most innovative features of the RØDE Wireless PRO is its 32-bit float recording capability. This means that the transmitters can record audio directly to their internal memory without clipping or distorting the signal. This eliminates the need to set the gain levels before recording, as the audio can be adjusted in post-production without any loss of quality. This feature is especially useful for situations where the sound levels are unpredictable or vary greatly, such as live events, interviews, or documentaries.
The 32-bit float recording also serves as a backup in case of any interference or dropouts in the wireless transmission. The transmitters can store up to 24 hours of audio each, and the files can be easily transferred to a computer or smartphone via USB-C. The RØDE Central app allows users to access and manage the recordings, as well as customize the settings of the system.
How does the RØDE Wireless PRO ensure reliable and stable wireless audio?
The RØDE Wireless PRO uses Series IV 2.4GHz digital transmission with 128-bit encryption to deliver crystal-clear, incredibly stable audio up to 260m (850 ft) line of sight. The system automatically scans and hops between frequencies to avoid any interference from other wireless devices or sources. The system also has a near-zero latency codec that ensures perfect sync between the audio and video.
The receiver unit has both analog (3.5mm) and digital (USB-C) outputs, making it compatible with a wide range of cameras and other audio devices, as well as iOS and Android smartphones and tablets, and Windows and Mac computers. The receiver also has a bright LCD display that shows the audio levels, battery status, and other information at a glance. The system can be powered by either AA batteries or USB-C.
What are some other features and accessories of the RØDE Wireless PRO?
The RØDE Wireless PRO comes with everything you need to get started with wireless audio right out of the box. The kit includes two transmitters and a receiver unit, each with an integrated clip for fastening to clothing or accessories. The transmitters also have built-in omnidirectional microphones that can capture high-quality sound without any external mics. However, if you prefer to use lavalier mics, the kit also includes two professional Lavalier II microphones that are perfect for recording on-screen talent.
The kit also comes with furry windshields for outdoor use, a pair of MagClip GO to attach your transmitters anywhere, a smart charging case that can charge all three units simultaneously, and a handy accessory pack to store your lavs, cables, and clips.
The RØDE Wireless PRO also has some advanced features that can enhance your audio quality and workflow. For example, you can use the intelligent GainAssist technology to automatically adjust the gain levels based on the input signal. You can also use the flexible gain controls and tailored presets to precisely match your mic to your camera. You can also add an extra layer of protection with the safety channel that records a lower-level backup signal in case of clipping.
Another feature that sets the RØDE Wireless PRO apart from other wireless systems is its advanced timecode capability. This feature allows you to perfectly synchronize your audio and video with ease – no need for complex and expensive external timecode systems. The system can generate its own timecode or sync with an external source via USB-C or 3.5mm cable. You can also use the RØDE Central app to set up and control the timecode settings.
