A new standard in immersive audio is now here to rock our world. Featuring the Stereo VideoMic X Microphone from Rode, an ultimate broadcast-grade stereo microphone that features acoustically matched true condenser capsules. Each of the capsules is supported by the Rycote® Lyre® onboard shock-mounting system, which gives isolation from knocks, bumps, and vibration. It is built with a robust heavy-duty, lightweight aluminum construction ideal for hardcore use. Balanced professional XLR output, another first for the VideoMic range is available on the side of the body with the RF shielded 3.5mm stereo output cable. The Stereo VideoMic X can be powered up to 30 hours by 9V battery or by Phantom Power (P48 - via miniXLR) using XLR connectivity. Three stage high-pass filters are available at 0, 75, and 150Hz to cut out any annoying low frequency audio like air conditioners or traffic noise. High Frequency Boost is also available to set an enhancement to the mic’s high-frequency sensitivity. Level adjustment offers three stages from -10dB PAD for loud recording to +20dB boost for clean audio signal.
