RØDE VideoMic GO II
Model
Product details
Ultra-lightweight, compact, and versatile condenser shotgun microphone. The VideoMic GO II can be used with cameras and boom poles, as well as with Mac and PC, smartphones, and iPhones. It is incredibly easy to operate: no battery, no controls, pure plug and play.
With its supercardioid polar pattern, the VideoMic GO II focuses on signals from the front at a narrow angle (approximately 45°); side sound sources are hardly picked up. The sound quality is top-notch - the VideoMic GO II delivers crystal-clear, completely colorless audio and has a minimal self-noise of 15 dBA. The red Rycote shock mount is designed for camera mounting with the integrated hot shoe adapter, but it also features a 3/8" thread for attaching the microphone to a tripod or boom pole. The audio connection to the camera is made via the included 3.5 mm TRS cable, and a foam windscreen is also included.
The VideoMic GO II has a built-in 24 Bit/48 kHz audio interface. Through the side USB-C port and a suitable cable, the microphone can be connected digitally to a Mac, PC, smartphone, or iPhone. In this case, the 3.5 mm jack on the microphone serves as a stereo headphone output. The VideoMic GO II is compatible with the free apps "RØDE Connect" and "RØDE Central.".
