What's in the box

  • Microphone
  • Product Description

    The Stereo VideoMic X is the ultimate broadcast-grade stereo microphone for on-camera use. Utilizing all-metal construction, it is incredibly robust making it ideal for regular professional use, while also providing high levels of resistance to RF interference. The mic features a matched pair of 1/2 " true-condenser capsules, configured in a stacked X-Y configuration, providing a highly-immersive soundscape. Each capsule is supported by the Rycote Lyre shock-mounting system, providing isolation from vibration as well as knocks and bumps. Digital switching on the rear of the SVMX allows the user to control the level adjustment (-10 dB or +20 dB), high-pass filter (0/75/150 Hz) and an innovative high-frequency boost (+6dB @ XHz) designed to boost the intelligibility of dialogue. In a first for the VideoMic range, professional-grade balanced outputs are available on the side of the body, in addition to the RF shielded 3.5mm stereo output cable. An outer dome structure provides physical protection for the sensitive capsules, while reducing wind noise in the same manner as RØDE's RedDot-winning Blimp.

    The Videomic works great. But it seems it was used already. It has lot of scratches on it. I don't mind to use it. But when you spend ~55k, it should be brand new. Glad Amazon has refund policy.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Un superbe micro stéréo très spécialisé dans ce qu'il sait faire
    Reviewed in France on March 24, 2019
    Utilisé dans un cadre professionnel, ce n'est pas le premier micro Rode que je possède : Rode Videmicro, Rode Newsshooter, Rode ntg8... Je cherchais depuis longtemps un micro de qualité en stéréo pour des prestas particulières. Rode propose ses Rode Videomic Pro stéréo mais ils font un peu cheap et je voulais une connectivité XLR et quelque chose de plus pratique (en tournage) que mon Zoom H6N avec sa capsule X-Y (bien trop imposant).

    A souligner de prime abord, c'est un micro stéréo fait surtout pour capter l'ambiance. Ce n'est pas fait pour filmer des interviews (ou alors de très près), domaine où un micro canon (les rode videomic pro, etc...) fera plus l'affaire. Là, on compte de l'ambiance, de la musique et de la prise de son ponctuelle (bruits...)

    Là, sur la photo branché à mon Sony A7III, je capte une session au piano avec l'ambiance public. Le moindre chuchotement est enregistré. Il est très sensible, même à 0db.

    Dans ses très grosses qualités :
    - Qualité sonore. D'office, en jack (alimenté par une pile 9V, j'utilise les piles rechargeables keestone, dispo sur Amazon aussi), c'est très bien, en xlr, c'est encore mieux. Plus besoin de pile, une sensibilité encore meilleure et surtout la possibilité d'enregistrer de vrais pistes de qualité, selon son enregistreur.
    - Pratique : il est gros, il est là, il en impose (surtout avec ses impressionnantes bonettes), mais reste dans des dimensions contenus étant donné le niveau de sa prestation. Une griffe flash suffit.
    - Qualité de fabrication superbe, tout en métal, on a pas peur de le manipuler. Les boutons répondent parfaitement. Reste le cable rouge Rode, typique de la plupart des produits. Mon conseil, toujours en avoir un de secours, il m'est arrivé par le passé qu'un cable me lache (ils sont fins, souvent en tension). Sur une presta critique, c'est critique.
    - Toujours aussi appréciable : la fameuse garantie de 10 ans.

    Au chapitre du "moins une étoile" :
    - Le prix : A priori, j'ai cru comprendre que c'était un peu 2 capsules de NTG4 dedans. Ceci explique cela. Il faut en avoir donc l'utilité. Pour les pros, ça reste rentabilisable, pour les amateurs, un micro-canon avec un champs un peu large sera peut-être plus approprié, la stéréo en moins.
    - A ce prix là, Rode aurait pu inclure 2 cables mini xlr, surtout qu'ils ne sont pas légion. Dommage.
    - Une pochette dédiée pour le micro et ses bonettes (un manque habituel chez Rode). Là, il n'y a rien.

    5.0 out of 5 stars 遠くの音もよく拾う
    Reviewed in Japan on May 5, 2019
    ビデオカメラ用に購入しました。
    鉄道の動画撮影で使っていて、遠くから列車が迫ってくる時の音がうまく録れています、また周波数特性が広い範囲なので継ぎ目の低音とモーター音の高音も良く聞こえます。
    外での撮影がメインなので、付属のウィンド・ジャマーを使用しています。
    本体にあるゲイン調整・ハイパスフィルターを設定すれば風切り音も小さくできました。
    写真①はCanon アクセサリーブラケット AB-E1を使用、写真②はユーエヌ UNX-8247 ソニーマルチインターフェースシュー用バウンスシューを使用。
    マイクに重量があるので、カメラとの接続には工夫が必要です。
