RØDE is a company best known for the wide range of audio products that they manufacture, such as headphones and microphones. While mics like the RØDE Wireless Pro are aimed at professional video makers who want a reliable and great-sounding quality wireless mic for their DSLR or mirrorless camera, the new (and cheaper) RØDE Wireless Micro is aimed at the smartphone filmmaker who needs a simple, affordable but equally reliable way to capture a strong and drop-out-free sound recording when talking to camera or conducting an interview.
If you own an iPhone 16 then you’ll already be impressed by the new Audio Mix tools that enable you to capture better-sounding audio while keeping background noise at bay. However, these post-production tools (and the iPhone 16’s four built-in mics) are only effective when you’re in close proximity to your iPhone. When you step a few meters away from your iPhone’s mics, the audio quality drops dramatically and your voice is more likely to be drowned out by ambient background sound sources such as passing cars.
