RØDE Microphones выпускает еще один микрофон в супер популярной линейке VideoMic. Новый VideoMic Pro+ задает новый уровень для записи звука для полупрофессионального применения.
Микрофон оборудован первокласным виброподвесом Rycote Lyre, капсюлем VideoMic Pro и ветрозащитой. В дополнение к этому в микрофон добавлены несколько новых функций:
- Функция Автоматического Включения микрофона когда на микрофон поступает напряжение питания от микрофонного входа видеокамеры. Это великолепно для видеосъемки «на бегу», когда микрофон автоматически включится вместе с включением камеры и выключится при отсоединии кабеля от камеры или при выключении камеры.
- Встроенный в крышку отсека для батареек аккумулятор позволяет заменить батарейки в процессе записи без выключения микрофона.
- Питание VideoMic Pro+ может быть от встроенного RØDE LB-1 Lithium-Ion аккумулятора, 2 x AA батареек или через Micro USB разъем.
- Цифровое управление позволяет регулировать параметры записываемого сигнала прямо на микрофоне и уменьшать время затрачиваемое в дальнейшем на постпродакшен и редактирование звука.
- Функции цифрового управления (переключатели) включают в себя:
- 2-ступенчатый фильтр низких частот отсекает низкочастотный гул от автомобильного трафика или от кондиционера.
- 3-ступенчатый усилитель уровня, с +20dB функцией предназначен для усиления уровня выхода для записи на DSLR или беззеркальные фотокамеры.
- Усиление высоких частот подчеркнет детали и улучшит четкость записи звука.
- Дополнительный канал «безопасного звука» с пониженным уровнем сигнала позволит записать второй канал звука без отсечки по уровню при неожиданных резких всплесках уровня.
VideoMic Pro + является новым эталоном накамерных микрофонов. В микрофон добавлены такие восстребованные функции как встроенный аккумулятор, функция автоматического включения микрофона и выход второго канал звука с безопасно-пониженной громкостью.

Thank you for investing in the RØDE VideoMic Pro.
When RØDE released the original VideoMic in 2004 it was the only mic of its kind on the market. Just like many great innovations it was born from a personal need. At the time MiniDV cameras were the latest technology, offering consumers and independent filmmakers unprecedented freedom and creativity for their video, but neglecting audio quality. I went shopping for a solution but found that the only offerings were either cheap inferior quality or high cost shotgun microphones not designed to integrate easily with the cameras.
Thus the VideoMic was born. Almost a decade later its broadcast audio quality, integrated shock mounting and accessible price tag has made it the world’s largest selling microphone for consumer cameras.
However in this time there have been numerous innovations in video cameras, from hard drive, solid state and network cameras, through to high definition Digital SLR and onwards to large sensor video cameras. The technology has gotten larger but of course the form factor much smaller, thus the decision to create the high performance, yet conveniently compact VideoMic Pro.
Creating a high performance microphone as lightweight and manageable as the VideoMic Pro was quite a technical challenge. Other companies have attempted and failed, simply because a directional microphone depends on the length of the microphone barrel to reject the surrounding ambient noise that you don’t want to pick up.
Leveraging the technology developed alongside our award winning NTG1, NTG2 and NTG3 shotgun microphones we’ve finally realised a professional microphone with a much smaller form factor.
Please take the time to visit www.rodemic.com and register your mic for a full ten year warranty.

SETUP AND USE
INSTALLING THE BATTERY
Before you can record with your VideoMic Pro, you will need to install a standard 9V battery (ANS1:1604A or IEC:6LR61).
RØDE recommends using a high quality lithium or alkaline battery to achieve the best possible battery life.
To install the battery, open the battery cover that is located on the front of the VideoMic Pro, just under the windshield foam.
To remove the cover, hold the sides of the cover with your thumb and third finger, and push up on the indentation with your index finger, then pivot the bottom of the cover away.
Push up on the indentation with your index finger then pivot the bottom of the cover away
Insert the battery with the negative terminal (-) on top as shown in the next diagram. The correct battery orientation is also shown on the inside of the battery cover. If the battery orientation is incorrect the cover will not close fully.
Insert the battery with the negative terminal on top
Replace the cover by first hooking the top clips in, then press the bottom clips into place. The cover will push the battery against its spring terminal during installation.

POWER AND CHARGING STATUS
The Power Button/Status LED (1) indicates power status via color.
Charge
- Slow flashing BLUE = charging
- Fast flashing BLUE = 75% charged
- Solid BLUE = 100% charged
Power Usage (LB-1 Battery* & AA Batteries**)
The VMP+ is designed for best performance with the LB-1 Lithium-Ion Rechargeable Battery. When using the LB-1 Battery or AA Batteries, the Status LED (1) will change color:
- Solid BLUE indicates LB-1 Battery
- Solid GREEN indicates AA Batteries
- Solid RED = 10 hours charge remaining
- Slow flashing RED = 2 hours charge remaining
- Fast flashing RED = 30 minutes charge remaining
The LB-1 Battery charges while inserted into the VMP+ and the included Micro USB Cable is connected to a power source. Rechargeable AA Batteries can be used, but will not charge in the VMP+
- Results may vary depending on environmental conditions.
- Results may vary depending on the type of battery used and environmental conditions.
POWERING ON
The VideoMic Pro+ can be powered by the LB-1 Battery, 2 x AA Batteries, or via the Micro USB Charging Socket.
- Squeeze Battery Compartment Latches (7) to open.
- Insert the included LB-1 Battery, and 2 x AA Batteries, or connect the included Micro USB Cable.
- Press and hold the Power Button (1) until the Status LED illuminates.
VIDEOMIC PRO+ CONTROLS
- The High Pass Filter (HPF) will reduce low frequencies such as the rumble from traffic or air-conditioning. Press the HPF Button (2) to select one of the two available filter settings (75Hz, 150Hz) or to disable the filter. When both LEDs are off, the filter is disabled.
- The Output Gain Control Button will switch the microphone output gain between 0, -10, and +20 dB. Press the Output Gain Control Button (3) to cycle through the three settings. The LED will illuminate indicating the active setting. When both LEDs are off, the output level is set to 0dB.
- The High Frequency Boost will boost high frequencies above 7kHz by 5dB which enhances clarity and detail in your recording. This is particularly helpful if you are using a RODE Deadcat Windshield or other wind protection. Press the HPF (2) and Output Gain Control (3) Buttons together to enable or disable the High Frequency Boost. When the LED (4) is off, the High Frequency Boost is disabled.
- The Safety Channel will lower the output of the RIGHT channel of the dual-mono signal by 10dB. This will help ensure the signal does not clip when unexpected spikes in level occur. Press the Output Gain Control Button (3) and Power Button (1) together to enable or disable the Safety Channel. When the LED (5) is off, the output on both the Left and Right channels is the same.
- The VMP+ will automatically power on when plugged into a DSL camera or portable recorder’s 3.5mm microphone input if plug-in power is supplied by the device. To disable this feature, press the Power (1) and HPF Buttons (2) together. The HPF and Output Gain Control LEDs will flash green three times to indicate this feature is disabled and will flash green once when it is enabled.
