The Rode Stereo VideoMic Pro Rycote is a premium solution for videographers and content creators seeking high-quality stereo audio for their projects. Ideal for capturing environmental soundscapes, live performances, and natural ambience, this microphone utilizes a matched pair of condenser capsules in an XY configuration to deliver natural, immersive audio with exceptional depth and clarity.

The integrated Rycote Lyre suspension system isolates the microphone from vibrations and handling noise, ensuring that your recordings remain clean and free of interference. Built with durability in mind, the suspension is virtually indestructible and requires no re-stringing or maintenance, making it a reliable companion for field use.

The Stereo VideoMic Pro offers on-board audio controls to adapt to various recording scenarios. A two-step high-pass filter helps reduce low-frequency noise, such as rumble from air conditioners or traffic, while the level adjustment (-10dB to +20dB) optimizes performance for quiet or loud environments. The +20dB setting is particularly useful when paired with DSLR cameras, reducing preamp noise for cleaner recordings.

Compact and lightweight, the microphone easily mounts onto a camera’s cold shoe or a 3/8" thread, making it portable and user-friendly. Its black finish provides a sleek, professional appearance, blending seamlessly with most camera rigs.

Perfect for documentaries, vlogs, and event coverage, the Rode Stereo VideoMic Pro Rycote combines professional-grade sound capture with a rugged design, ensuring consistent, high-quality audio wherever your creative journey takes you.
