Rode Revolutionizes Audio Recording with the Wireless Pro Mic Kit

In the realm of audio recording for content creators, Rode has been a game-changer, and its latest offering, the Wireless Pro microphone system, is poised to continue this tradition. Building upon the success of its predecessor, the Wireless GO, Rode’s Wireless Pro is a flagship wireless microphone system designed to cater to the needs of modern creators and YouTubers.

The original Wireless GO transformed the way content creators approached audio capture, and the Wireless Pro takes it a step further. While not the first wireless microphone system on the market, the Wireless GO’s focus on creators’ needs garnered a massive following. This success inspired competitors like DJI to enter the market, resulting in a category largely influenced by Rode’s innovations. Now, Rode is back in the spotlight with the Wireless Pro, a premier wireless microphone system that’s geared towards creators of all kinds.

The standout feature of the Wireless Pro is its incorporation of 32-bit float recording technology. This game-changing addition effectively eliminates concerns about clipping or audio distortion due to high levels. Essentially, even if your audio levels peak, the onboard recording won’t be compromised. Say goodbye to the frustration of ruined productions due to poor audio quality!

You might say that the Wireless Pro is on a mission to popularize 32-bit float technology. While specialized audio recorders have already dabbled in this realm, Rode is making it accessible to a wider audience. This feature isn’t limited to a specific microphone; with the Wireless Pro’s compatibility with various microphones, you can now record a diverse range of audio content in 32-bit float format—provided you have a 3.5mm jack to plug into.

To streamline the creative process even further, the Wireless Pro boasts advanced timecode capability, eliminating the need for an external device. Setting this up is a breeze through Rode Central, the companion app for the microphone. So, while you’ll need to put in a few taps, the payoff in streamlined production is more than worth it.

Innovation doesn’t stop there. Rode has taken cues from alternative solutions and aftermarket accessories, packaging a charging case with the Wireless Pro as a standard feature. This case offers two full charges for the system and accompanies the new model at no extra cost. With a battery life of around seven hours for both transmitters and receiver, the Wireless Pro can handle at least 20 hours of recording onto its ample 32GB storage capacity (which reportedly translates to 40 hours of material).

Range is a crucial factor in wireless systems, and Rode has certainly upped its game. While the Wireless GO II had a range of approximately 656 feet (200 meters), the Wireless Pro expands this to an impressive 850 feet (260 meters)—a tad more than DJI’s 820 feet (250 meters), for those who are keeping score.

Remember Rode’s affordable Wireless ME kit? The Wireless Pro inherits the neat feature of the receiver doubling as a “narrator” microphone through a TRRS headset in the headphones/monitoring port. This means you can record up to three different speakers, although one of them will still need to be wired.

And let’s not forget the small yet impactful quality of life upgrades. Locking 3.5mm jacks ensure that your lav mic won’t suddenly disconnect, and plugin power detection allows the system to intelligently manage power consumption based on camera activity—talk about smart energy management!

Now, the moment of truth—pricing. DJI’s dual-mic product will set you back $330, while the Rode Wireless Pro comes with a price tag of $399. Yes, it’s a little more, but there’s a reason behind it. Rode has sweetened the deal by including two Lavalier II microphones as part of the bundle. Considering that a Lavalier II mic costs $99 individually, this bundled package is a solid deal for those seeking a comprehensive audio solution.

In the world of content creation, audio quality can make or break your production. With the Rode Wireless Pro, Rode continues to lead the charge in revolutionizing audio recording for creators. So whether you’re a YouTuber, filmmaker, or podcast host, the Wireless Pro promises to be the ultimate companion on your creative journey. Say goodbye to audio woes and hello to pristine, professional-quality sound, courtesy of Rode’s cutting-edge innovation. Your audience’s ears will thank you!
