description Rode Wireless ME Overview
The Rode Wireless ME is a compact wireless microphone system for recording speech with cameras, computers and compatible mobile devices. Its small transmitter can be clipped to clothing, keeping the microphone near the speaker without running a cable back to the recording device. Simple operation makes it relevant to vloggers and mobile creators who need a portable way to capture dialogue. The system is not limited to smartphones.
Its connection options allow it to fit different recording setups, and compatible Rode software provides access to supported settings and recording functions. The receiver also includes a microphone, making it possible to capture the person behind the camera as well as the subject wearing the transmitter. Recording quality and connection performance depend on placement and conditions. Its distinctive appeal is that two-sided interview capability within a compact system, rather than a wired lavalier design.
