Sennheiser MKH 8040 Cardioid Mic

The RODE Stereo VideoMic Pro brings you a high-quality, on-camera stereo microphone. Offering high-quality stereo audio for your videos or film; the Stereo VideoMic is ideal for recording music, and atmospheric ambiance. Sounds that are essential in building a realistic audio scene. Furthermore, the Stereo VideoMic Pro is based around a matched pair of highly sensitive, 1/2″ cardioid condenser XY capsules. Providing a wide stereo image with natural depth.

Building on the feature set of the VideoMic Pro, the Stereo VideoMic keeps the ergonomic form factor perfectly suited to DSLR and Mirrorless cameras. While the integrated shock mounting system provides superior isolation from vibration and mechanical noise that could otherwise degrade your audio quality. Additionally, the lightweight yet robust multi-strand cable on the Stereo VideoMic Pro provides excellent acoustic decoupling from the camera. Offering significantly less noise transference than a traditional audio cable.

Boasting a user-friendly design, the Stereo VideoMic Pro features convenient power and equalization controls on the rear. Including a high pass filter at 75Hz so you can cut out the noise generated by airconditioning, traffic, and other low-frequency interference.

Again, like the VideoMic Pro, the Stereo VideoMic Pro features a +20dB level boost. Specifically designed to give you a higher quality signal from your DSLR camera. When activated, the typically low-quality preamp is reduced, resulting in lower noise floor and clearer recordings.

Finally, the Rode Stereo VideoMic Pro is just one of the renowned Rode Camera Microphones. All designed and made in Australia, as well as an impressive 10-year warranty. Above all, the RODE Stereo VideoMic PRO is the perfect stereo microphone for your camera.

The Rode VideoMic is a professional ‘On Camera’ shotgun condenser microphone. Designed to delivers clear, crisp, directional audio for video cameras and personal audio recorders. The integrated Rycote® Lyre® based shock mounting system isolates the VideoMic capsule and electronics from its all-metal shoe mount, providing isolation from external physical factors that may cause unwanted rumble and vibrations in the microphone. Constructed from a single piece of hard-wearing thermoplastic, the Lyre® provides superior acoustic suspension to traditional elastic solutions, and will never wear out, sag or snap.

Its standard sized shoe mount also includes a 3/8″ thread in the base for easy mounting on a boom pole or stand.

By employing a super-cardioid polar pattern the VideoMic becomes highly directional, focusing on the subject in front of the camera, and minimising any surrounding sounds.

In addition to the microphone’s native 40Hz-20kHz response a selectable high-pass filter at 80Hz is available, which will prevent low end noise such as air conditioners and traffic from being recorded.

A -10dB and -20dB level attenuation (or PAD), selectable from inside the battery compartment, allows recording of loud sound sources, such as live music or motorsport.

The RØDE VideoMic directional on-camera microphone is designed in Australia and covered by RØDE Microphones’ industry leading 10 year warranty.
