Product Description
RODE have a reputation for making quality condenser microphones for recording studios and musical applications. A little while ago they turned their attention to the Video market and produced the truly superb VideoMic (RVM). This has been such a great success that they
ve now expanded the range and produced a true stereo microphone along the same lines. The build quality is excellent with an all metal case giving it a truly bomb-proof feel and again using a fully suspended design to keep camera noise to an absolute minimum. It utilises two capsules in an X/Y configuration to give true stereo recordings with good soundstage whilst still offering a high level of rear rejection and low noise. It
s powered by a standard 9V PP3 type battery. The Rode power LED is constantly illuminated green to let you know all is well and battery life is over 100 hours. There
s a switchable high pass filter to reduce unwanted low frequency rumble, and also a switch for 10db attenuation, useful for recording in high sound pressure level situations eg concerts, racetracks, train stations etc. It has a standard hot-shoe mount and the shock mount body is also threaded for mounting on a boom arm or tripod. The connection is via a 3.5mm stereo mini jack.

The Best Stereo Video Mic Available
By Mr. R. David Jones
I recently purchased a Rode Stereo Video Mic and used it for the first time for filming a village hall panto. The results where really good. It is always a compromise in situations like this and the sound can really be a problem as the producers don't want you getting in the way of the audience even though they want you to produce a professional dvd of the production and sound (if you let them) can be an after thought but my new Rode mic added to the quality I was trying to achieve.I feel this is the best mic available to semi-pro videographers in situations such as this.

Reasonable mike, but cheap hotshoe foot
By ANH
There is no denying that this is a good piece of kit, with a nicely made metal casing, but for some reason Rode have used an incredibly cheap plate for the hot shoe attachment. The unit we had wouldn't fit onto any camera we tried until we took it off and filed it down! I guess we had bad luck, but if Rode brought the standard of this part up to the rest of the unit, it would be a real winner. If you run into the same problem, the hot shoe is attached with a cruciform screw, so it is easy to remove and modify.

By Paul W
I bought this for my Sony HDR-XR520VE HandyCam. Works perfectly with it - except in terms of size. Putting the mic on the camcorder makes it a bit too front heavy and not easy to handle.I bought the Rode PG1 Cold Shoe Pistol Grip and put the Stereo Video mic on their instead - which works much better though it does mean you have 2 things to hold while filming.Sound quality is amazing - very rich, warm and clear sound. The mic comes with the dead kitten windstopper and this works amazingly well even in very high winds. Much more effective than the windstopper upgrade SENNHEISER MKE400 MICROPHONE WITH MZW400 KIT for the Sennheiser MKE 400.
