Røde has added the Wireless ME to its range of wireless microphones, promising ‘the ultimate grab-and-go microphone for content creators’.

To coincide with the release of the Wireless ME, Røde has also launched a free iOS video app, Røde Capture, for making content on an iPhone and offering a companion to the Wireless ME.

The Wireless ME comprises a single transmitter and receiver, which are paired out of the box. It uses Røde’s Series IV 2.4GHz digital transmission and proprietary near-zero latency codec with 128-bit encryption, and best-in-class range.

The Wireless ME also features a ‘narrator’ microphone built into the receiver unit. Dubbed the ME Mic, this allows creators to record audio from in front of and behind the camera simultaneously for capturing two-way interviews or voiceovers for video content. A second Wireless ME or Wireless GO II transmitter can also be connected to the receiver, to allow dual-channel recording or support a three-microphone wireless system.

The mic features Røde’s GainAssist technology, which uses intelligent algorithms that control the audio levels on the fly, to ensure they are balanced and to help prevent clipping or distortion. This technology is significantly more advanced than standard automatic gain control features found on cameras and other audio devices, delivering clean audio with no level pumping or background noise elevation. There are two modes available, Auto and Dynamic, allowing users to choose the best setting for their recording scenario. The output gain can also be adjusted to match the recording device. These features and other configuration options are accessible via the Røde companion app for desktop and mobile, Røde Central.

The Wireless ME works with all cameras, iOS and Android smartphones, and Mac and Windows computers, and comes with all cables required for recording with compatible devices.
