Røde Microphones has announced an update for VideoMic NTG, including MFi-certification (unlocking compatibility with Lightning-equipped iOS devices, including iPhone, iPad and iPod) and the SC15 Lightning Accessory Cable, a high-quality USB-C to Lightning cable for connecting the VideoMic NTG to Apple mobile devices.
Introduced in late 2019, the VideoMic NTG on-camera shotgun microphone has since been widely adopted by filmmakers, vloggers and content creators.
One of its most ingenious features is the USB-C audio output, which allows it to be plugged into a computer, tablet or smartphone and used as a full-featured USB microphone.
Previously, the VideoMic NTG was only compatible with Lightning-equipped iOS devices using the 3.5mm output. Now, creators can plug their VideoMic NTG into their iPhone, iPad or iPod via USB with the Røde SC15, unleashing the full potential of the mic.
Key features:
- Headphone monitoring with variable output knob.
- Two-way audio transmission for video calls.
- Safety channel at -20dB.
- 48kHz, 24-bit digital audio conversion
The SC15 has been designed specifically for connecting the VideoMic NTG to Apple mobile devices with a Lightning port. At 300mm long, it is an optimal length for use in a compact mobile recording rig, and features a junction box that slots neatly into the VideoMic NTG shockmount cable management system.
