Wireless Micro
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.
Getting Started
- Take both transmitters from the charging case, remove the stickers covering their charging pins, and then place them back in the case
- Take both transmitters from the case again – their LEDs will now flash
- Connect the receiver directly to your phone – its LEDs will flash and then turn solid when paired to the transmitters
Your Wireless Micro is now powered on, paired and ready to record wireless audio to your phone.
Using the Clips and Magnets
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.
Pro Tip
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.
Using the Windshields
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.
Recharging the Transmitters and Charging Case
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.
Battery Levels and LEDs
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.
Adjusting Settings Using RØDE Companion Apps
The Wireless Micro offers several features and settings adjustable via RØDE companion apps. There are two main ways to connect and adjust settings:
Using the Receiver (RX):
Connect the receiver to your computer or phone. Ensure the transmitters are out of their case, powered on, and paired to the receiver. You can then use RØDE Central (on computer or mobile) or RØDE Capture (mobile) to access and adjust various system and transmitter settings.
Direct Connect (RØDE Capture Only):
A new feature called Direct Connect allows you to pair up to two transmitters directly to your phone via Bluetooth® connectivity using the RØDE Capture app. Simply open the app and follow the on-screen prompts to pair your transmitters. Once connected, you can record directly into the app without a receiver, and access key settings like Noise Reduction and Gain Control for each transmitter.
출력 게인: Wireless Micro의 볼륨 수준을 조정합니다.
분할 및 병합 모드: 병합 모드(기본값)에서는 두 송신기의 오디오가 결합되어 왼쪽 및 오른쪽 채널에 녹음됩니다. 병합 모드는 완성된, 출판 준비가 된 비디오를 녹음하는 데 이상적입니다. 분할 모드에서는 한 송신기의 오디오를 왼쪽 채널로, 다른 송신기의 오디오를 오른쪽 채널로 보낼 수 있습니다. 녹음 후 오디오를 편집할 계획이라면 분할 모드를 사용하세요. 각 마이크의 볼륨 수준을 개별적으로 조정할 수 있습니다.
노이즈 감소: 이 기능은 녹음 환경에 따라 배경 소음을 최소화하여 오디오의 선명도를 향상시킵니다. 각 송신기에 대해 개별적으로 전환할 수 있으며 세 가지 수준이 있습니다: OFF(노이즈 감소 없음), LOW(최소 노이즈 감소), HIGH(집중 노이즈 감소). 이 설정은 수신기가 연결된 경우 RØDE Central 또는 RØDE Capture를 통해, 또는 송신기가 직접 페어링된 경우 RØDE Capture를 통해 조정할 수 있습니다.
LED 밝기: LED 조명이 밝거나 어둡게 조정합니다(각 송신기 및 수신기에 대해 개별적으로 조정 가능).
펌웨어 업데이트: Wireless Micro에 펌웨어 업데이트가 필요하면 RØDE Central 또는 RØDE Capture를 열 때 프로세스를 안내하는 팝업 메시지를 받게 됩니다. 송신기 두 개 모두 케이스에서 꺼내고 전원을 켜고 수신기에 페어링되어 있어야 업데이트할 수 있습니다.
