Envelop Your Viewers in Lifelike Stereo Audio
Capturing clean stereo audio is essential to drawing your audience into a scene or chronicling the live electricity of an event. And what the VideoMic Pro has done for on-camera dialogue capture, the RODE Stereo VideoMic Pro Rycote does for location work, interviews, live music, and sporting events. This mic features a matched pair of high-sensitivity, low-noise 1/2" condensers in a fixed XY pattern to keep your stereo field in perfect phase for mono fold-down. An unbreakable Rycote Lyre suspension shockmount reduces handling noise and the pitter-patter of your own feet from muddying your audio — which makes the RODE Stereo VideoMic Pro Rycote a great option for run-and-gun shooters. Other operator-friendly features include back access to RODE's familiar pad, boost, and highpass filters, along with an included foam shield to block wind noise for field work.

Stereo condensers bring music and field audio to life
While shotgun and lav mics are great for dialogue, their directionality can make live music and field work come across flat. The RODE Stereo VideoMic Pro Rycote captures an extra-wide stereo field that's much more true to life. Plus, RODE's 1/2" XY condenser spacing keeps audio in perfect phase when played back through mono and mobile devices.
Fixed XY pattern for perfect phase in every shot
Note: Rode Deadkitten windscreen not included.Unbreakable Rycote Lyre shockmount cuts rumble
Unlike rubber bands, the Stereo VideoMic Pro's Rycote Lyre shockmount is made from thermoplastic that will never snap, bend, or break. This suspension system stabilizes the mic from movement that can so easily translate to acoustic energy in the form of rumbling. And take it from Sweetwater — rumbly audio is the last thing you want to deal with when you're busy getting the perfect shot.
Improved cabling and shielding
The improved Stereo VideoMic Pro Rycote sees a number of improvements over its 2012 predecessor. The integrated cable is fortified with Kevlar for greater durability, and improved shielding in both the cable and mic reduce interference from wireless systems into your signal.
