The RØDE VideoMic Pro+ is a new addition to the best-in-market on-camera category. It is a true shotgun microphone designed for use with camcorders, DSLR cameras, and portable audio recorders as a source of primary and reference audio.

Still featuring the best-in-class Rycote Lyre suspension system, the VideoMic Pro+ improves on the existing VideoMic Pro capsule, line tube, and windshield, and boasts a host of new features.

The automatic power function (with plug-in power availability) is perfect for the run-and-gun shooter, automatically turning the microphone off when unplugged from the camera.

The built-in battery door makes replacing the battery a breeze and ensures it won't get lost.

Power options for the VideoMic Pro+ include the all-new and included RØDE LB-1 Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery, 2 x AA batteries, or continuous power via Micro USB.

Digital switching ensures the user has ultimate capture of the audio signal at the source, reducing post-production and editing times.

The digital switching includes:
• 2-stage high pass filter to reduce low frequencies such as rumble from traffic or air conditioning
• 3-stage gain control, with +20dB function designed to improve audio quality on DSLR or mirrorless cameras
• High frequency boost to enhance detail and clarity in the recording
• Safety channel to help ensure the signal does not clip when unexpected spikes occur.
