The MiCon-6 adaptor provides connectivity with selected AKG systems – including the PT40, PT60, PT61, PT80, PT81, PT400, PT2000 and PT4000. The MiCon-7 adaptor adds connectivity with selected Lectrosonics systems including the SM, UMa and LMa Series, as well as the UM450. And the MiCon-8 adaptor offers connectivty for the Sony UWP series of wireless transmitters.

Released in late 2010, the original five MiCon adaptors support connectivity with 3.5mm stereo and XLR as well as selected wireless systems from manufacturers including Shure, Sennheiser and Audio-Technica. A full list of compatibility and MiCon options is available on the Røde website.

Røde has also launched a PinMic with longer pins, to allow use with heavier clothing and fabric. Both PinMics offer an innovative take on the traditional lapel microphone – while lapel mics are the industry standard for close-miking presenters and talent, depending on the application their presence on a collar or lapel can be distracting or entirely undesirable. The PinMic features a detachable capsule head that mounts onto three pins on the microphone backplate, providing a discreet alternative that can be located almost anywhere on a wide range of clothing and fabrics.

The Røde Lavalier, HS-1 (black/pink), PinMic and the suite of MiCon adaptors, cables are shipping now.
