Rated 5 out of 5

Great quality sound

This Rode microphone is honestly a must have! Great quality sound and small enough so it doesn't take up a lot of room if you have to mount it directly to camera body.

Great quality sound

By WILLIAM M.

This Rode microphone is honestly a must have! Great quality sound and small enough so it doesn't take up a lot of room if you have to mount it directly to camera body.

The Rode VideoMic founded the on-camera microphone category and now the Stereo VideoMic x takes it to an entirely new level. Using components shared with RODE's very finest studio recording microphones, the SVMX sets a new standard in immersive audio for camera systems.

By employing Rycote Onboard suspension at a capsule-level, the SVMX protects your audio from vibration and handling noise without compromising durability.

For the very first time on any RODE microphone the SVMX features integrated digital switching, allowing you to easily select any of the numerous in-built filters and settings with the confidence of LED indicators. The RODE Stereo VideoMic x is the ultimate in stereo on-camera recording.

Acoustically matched true condenser capsules
An acoustically matched pair of 1/2" externally biased, true condenser capsules provide studio-quality, immersive stereo sound.

Rycote Lyre onboard shock mounting
Integrated single-piece thermoplastic shock mounting, designed to minimize handling noise at a capsule-level.

Heavy-duty, lightweight aluminum construction
Robust metal construction that only weighs 300g (10oz).

9V or Phantom Power (P48)
The Stereo VideoMic x can be powered by 9V battery (up to 30 hours) or via P48 phantom power using XLR connectivity.

Balanced professional XLR output
In addition to standard 3.5mm stereo output, the Stereo VideoMic x provides balanced output via the professional XLR standard (via miniXLR - not included).

High Frequency Boost
An innovative setting that will allow the Stereo VideoMic x to enhance its high-frequency sensitivity when using the included wind shield.

High Pass Filter
Three stage high-pass filter at 0/75/150Hz, to cut out any unwanted low frequency audio such as traffic noise and air conditioners.

Level adjustment
Three stage level adjustment, offering a -10dB PAD for recording loud sound sources and a +20dB level boost to provide a cleaner audio signal to your camera/recording device.

Included pop shield and wind shield (not shown)
High quality environmental protection for both indoors and outside.
