help Rode PinMic Long FAQ
How does the Rode PinMic Long differ from the standard Rode PinMic?
The PinMic Long features an extended cable length compared to the standard PinMic, providing more flexibility for positioning the microphone body further from the subject. Both models share the same pin-style mounting mechanism for discreet attachment to clothing.
How does the Rode PinMic attach to clothing?
The Rode PinMic uses a pin-style fastening system similar to a brooch or lapel pin, piercing through the fabric rather than using a traditional alligator clip. This provides a more secure and discreet attachment that sits flatter against garments.
What connector does the Rode PinMic Long use?
The Rode PinMic Long typically terminates in a 3.5mm TRS connector compatible with Rode wireless systems and many portable recorders. Adapters may be required for XLR or other professional input formats.
Is the Rode PinMic Long suitable for outdoor recording?
The PinMic Long can be used outdoors, though like most lavalier microphones it benefits from a foam windscreen or deadcat accessory to reduce wind noise. Its pin-mounting design works well when concealed under layers of clothing, which also provides additional wind protection.
