RØDE VideoMic ME-C

use Android 10 or newer. The VideoMic Me-C is connected directly to the smartphone with its integrated USB-C plug - either towards the front or towards the user, depending on the direction in which it is plugged in. A special retaining clip is included in the scope of delivery to ensure that the VideoMic Me-C is firmly attached.

The 1/2"" microphone capsule of the VideoMic Me-C has a 90° angle of incidence. If you open both hands at a right angle to the front, you can easily see which sound sources are within the pick-up range. As a mono directional microphone, the VideoMic Me-C is generally recommended for speech recordings, but also for any other type of sound source that is in front of you or in the field of view. Sound coming from the sides and from behind is largely ignored by the VideoMic Me-C.

Preamplification and digital conversion (24 bit/48 kHz) are already carried out to a high standard in the VideoMic Me-C itself. The recording signal is transmitted digitally, thus elegantly bypassing the smartphone's preamplifier. The 3.5 mm headphone jack on the back is practical. If the app allows it, you can already listen in during the recording, but in any case you save yourself the hassle of switching from microphone to headphones.

The robust aluminium housing makes the VideoMic Me-C insensitive to interference, and the scratch-resistant ceramic coating ensures that it will still look good after years. Included with the WS9 is a deluxe windscreen that slips on in a flash for outdoor recordings. The WS9 has a thick foam layer on the inside and, with its synthetic fur, prevents the typical, disturbing air noises up to wind force 5.
