Rode Interview PRO Handheld Studio microphone incl cable USB-C®
Wireless microphone and handheld recorder in one:The elegant and 26 cm long reporting microphone can be coupled not only with every latest RÃDE wireless receiver â at present these are Wireless ME, Wireless GO II, Wireless PRO, RÃDECaster Duo, RÃDECaster Pro II and Streamer X â, It also offers an on-board recording function with its own REC-button and in-built 32 GB memory for 40 hours of uncompressed audio signal. The sound quality of the interview PRO is the finest: Crystal clear, undistorted and with the best possible speech intelligibility.The microphone capsuleIn the Interview PRO, a high-quality capacitor capsule is used, typically with spherical characteristics. The advantage: The microphone does not have any proximity effect, that is, without the prominent increase of the low frequencies with low microphone distance. In practice, this may vary during recording without drastically changing the sound. As a ball, the microphone is sensitive to sound from all directions, unlike a microphone with a cardioid characteristic, it does not always have to be perfectly aligned to the sound source â the interview PRO is extremely forgiving when the interviewee moves his head.GainAssist TechnologyGainAssist is very helpful, an intelligent modulation mechanism, which adjusts the internal gain setting permanently to the sound source in the microphone. This protects you from surprises and the audio signal is always transmitted or recorded with a healthy level and the best possible intelligibility. Incidentally, the limit sound pressure level is 122 dB, WAS means that one can also record extremely loud interviewees with the interview PRO, without risking any distortion.On-Board recordingThe Interview PRO offers a recording function directly in the microphone and for this purpose an internal 32 GB audio memory, which is sufficient for more than 40 hours. The recording takes place uncompressed as WAV file. You start and stop the recording with the REC button on the back of the microphone. When the recording is active, the button lights up red. There is another button below the REC button with which you can mute the microphone, if necessary. In connection with the Wireless PRO receiver the Interview PRO can also record SMPTE timecode.32-bit float audioINTERVIEW PRO is also the first hand-held transmitter worldwide that delivers 32 bits of floating Point audio. The advantage: Unless the limit sound pressure level of 122 dB is exceeded, it is in fact impossible to distort the signal through digital clipping. Very loud passages with flattened peak levels can be subsequently compensated for during post production in a DAW compatible with 32-bit float by normalizing.Power supply and digital outputThe Interview PRO features a built-in lithium-ion rechargeable battery which allows up to 30 hours operation. There is a USB-C connection in the socket of the microphone, through which the battery can be charged. Apart from this, the digital output of the on-board recording is done via this socket, for this purpose a SuperSpeed USB cable is supplied. The digital audio transmission is required as operating system Windows 10, Mac OS 11, Android 11 or iOS 14.Included in the deliveryThe Interview PRO includes a foam wind protection/pop filter, a stand clamp, a zipped case and a SuperSpeed USB cable (USB-C to USB-C). Note: The scope of delivery does not include a receiver, without a Wireless ME, Wireless GO II, Wireless PRO or RÃDECaster DUO, RÃDECaster Pro II or Streamer X, the Interview PRO cannot be used in a radio link. The handheld recorder can be used at any time.This text is machine translated.
