The Wireless Micro consists of two transmitters (TX) and a receiver (RX). The transmitters pick up audio with their built-in microphones and then transmit it wirelessly to the receiver. The receiver connects directly to your phone and lets you use your Wireless Micro with any video or audio recording app that accepts USB audio.
Your Wireless Micro is now powered on, paired and ready to record wireless audio to your phone.
The Wireless Micro’s transmitters feature integrated clips designed to attach directly to the edge of clothing or other items, like your shirt or jacket collar.
Each transmitter also comes with a magnetic attachment that you can use to mount anywhere on your clothing – simply sandwich your clothing between the magnetic attachment and transmitter. You can store the magnetic attachments in the charging case when not being used.
Try to mount the Wireless Micro transmitter as close to your subject’s mouth as possible, without obstructing the microphones with too much clothing or hair. You can even use the magnetic attachments to mount the transmitter inside clothing for additional protection from wind noise.
The built-in microphones in the transmitters are housed in a patent-pending acoustic chamber that's tailor-made to reduce the impact of wind noise and plosives on your audio. If you’re outdoors, you can use the additional furry windshields to reduce the effects even further, especially in windier conditions.
Simply slide the windshield harness over the transmitter so that the furry windshield lines up with the microphone on the transmitter.
The Wireless Micro transmitters have 7 hours of battery life, and you can use the included charging case to top up them up with two additional charges (an extra 14 hours). To charge them, simply place the transmitters in the charging case, lining up the gold charging pins.
To recharge the charging case, connect it to a power source using the included USB-C cable. The LED on the front of the charging case will flash amber while charging and turn solid green when fully charged.
There are multiple LEDs on the Wireless Micro that help indicate battery levels of the transmitters and charging case, and they all follow this system.
Green = Above 20%
Amber = 10-20%
Red = Below 10%
You can check transmitter battery level with the two LEDs on the receiver (when connected to a phone), the LEDs on the transmitters themselves, or the two LEDs inside the charging case (when the transmitters are in the case – these LEDS will flash when charging and remain solid green when fully charged).
The LED on the outside of the charging case represents the battery level of the charging case itself.
The Wireless Micro has some features and settings that can be adjusted using the RØDE Central companion app or RØDE Capture video recording app. With the receiver connected to your phone and the transmitters out of their case, open the RØDE Central or RØDE Capture app.
Output Gain: Use this to adjust the volume level of the Wireless Micro.
Split and Merged Modes: In Merged mode (default), the audio from both of your transmitters will be merged and sent to both the left and right channels of your audio. Merged mode is ideal for recording ready-made videos. In Split mode, you can send one transmitter’s audio to the left channel, and the other to the right. Use Split mode if you plan on editing your audio after recording, as it will allow you to adjust the volume levels of each microphone separately.
LED Brightness: Adjust whether LED lights are bright or dim – individually adjustable for the receiver and each transmitter.
Updating Firmware: If your Wireless Micro needs a firmware update, you will receive a pop-up message when opening RØDE Central or RØDE Capture that will walk you through the process. Just be sure that both your transmitters are out of the case, powered on and paired to your receiver so they can all be updated.
