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.
The Wireless Micro Camera Kit consists of two transmitters and interchangeable on-camera and smartphone receivers. The transmitters capture audio with their built-in microphones and transmit it wirelessly to the camera receiver. The camera receiver connects directly to your camera or other recording device via its 3.5mm TRS or USB-C output, allowing you to record crystal-clear wireless audio with any compatible setup.
Getting Started
Wireless Micro
- 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 smartphone – 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.
Camera Kit
- Take both transmitters and the receiver out of the charging case, remove the stickers covering their charging pins, then return them to their case to charge.
- Remove the receiver from the case – it will power on and display the home screen.
- Mount the receiver to your camera using the cold shoe mount and connect it with the included 3.5mm TRS cable.
- Remove the transmitters from the case – their LEDs will flash until paired to the receiver.
You are now ready to record.
Usando os Clips e Ímãs
Os transmissores do Wireless Micro possuem clipes integrados projetados para se prender diretamente à borda de roupas ou outros itens, como a gola da sua camisa ou jaqueta.
Cada transmissor também vem com um suporte magnético que você pode usar para montar em qualquer lugar da sua roupa – basta colocar sua roupa entre o suporte magnético e o transmissor. Você pode armazenar os suportes magnéticos no estojo de carregamento quando não estiverem em uso.
Dica Profissional
Tente montar o transmissor Wireless Micro o mais próximo possível da boca do seu sujeito, sem obstruir os microfones com roupas ou cabelos em excesso. Você pode até usar os suportes magnéticos para montar o transmissor dentro das roupas para proteção adicional contra ruídos do vento.
Usando os Windshields
Os microfones embutidos nos transmissores estão alojados em uma câmara acústica com patente pendente, projetada para reduzir o impacto do ruído do vento e das explosões no seu áudio. Se você estiver ao ar livre, pode usar os protetores de vento peludos adicionais para reduzir ainda mais os efeitos, especialmente em condições de vento mais forte.
Basta deslizar o suporte do protetor de vento sobre o transmissor para que o protetor de vento peludo se alinhe com o microfone do transmissor.
Using the Camera Kit Receiver
The Camera Kit receiver automatically pairs with your transmitters straight out of the box – simply remove the receiver and transmitters from the charging case, and you’re ready to record.
Featuring a bright AMOLED display, the receiver makes setup and monitoring quick and easy. With both 3.5mm TRS and USB-C outputs, it offers universal camera connectivity, making it compatible with a wide range of devices, from DSLRs and mirrorless cameras to other recording equipment.
You can adjust key settings directly on the receiver, including output mode, output gain, and display brightness.
Output Mode: Merge both transmitters into a single combined signal or record them separately to the left and right channels for greater control in post-production.
Output Gain: Choose from low, medium, or high gain settings to match your recording setup.
Display Brightness: Adjust the brightness of the AMOLED display to suit your environment.
To access these settings, press the Home button (square icon), navigate to your desired option using the arrow keys, and adjust as needed. Press the Home button again to confirm your selection.
Transmitters
When the transmitters are connected to the camera receiver, a display column for each transmitter will illuminate on the receiver’s screen. The vertical bars indicate the strength of the wireless signal, while the horizontal bar at the bottom shows the input level. The input meter moves from green to red, with red indicating clipping.
For even greater control, all settings – including output mode, gain, and transmitter noise reduction – can also be adjusted via the free RØDE Central app (more details below).
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.
Níveis de Bateria e LEDs
Existem múltiplos LEDs no Wireless Micro que ajudam a indicar os níveis de bateria dos transmissores e do estojo de carregamento, e todos seguem este sistema.
Verde = Acima de 20%
Vermelho = Abaixo de 10%
Você pode verificar o nível da bateria do transmissor com os dois LEDs no receptor (quando conectado a um telefone), os LEDs nos próprios transmissores ou os dois LEDs dentro do estojo de carregamento (quando os transmissores estão no estojo – esses LEDs piscarão durante o carregamento e permanecerão verdes sólidos quando totalmente carregados).
O LED na parte externa do estojo de carregamento representa o nível de bateria do próprio estojo de carregamento.
For the Wireless Micro Camera Kit, transmitter battery levels can be checked in the same way as the standard Wireless Micro. The camera receiver’s charge level is shown on the AMOLED display when it’s in the charging case — three bars indicate a full charge. When the receiver is out of the case, a battery bar at the top of the receiver’s display column shows the remaining power level. Transmitter battery levels are displayed in the same way.
The LED on the outside of the charging case represents the battery level of the charging case itself.
Ajustando Configurações Usando Aplicativos RØDE Companion
O Wireless Micro oferece várias funcionalidades e configurações ajustáveis através dos aplicativos RØDE companion. Existem duas maneiras principais de conectar e ajustar as configurações:
Usando o Receptor (RX):
Conecte o receptor ao seu computador ou telefone. Certifique-se de que os transmissores estão fora de suas capas, ligados e emparelhados com o receptor. Você pode então usar o RØDE Central (no computador ou móvel) ou RØDE Capture (móvel) para acessar e ajustar várias configurações do sistema e do transmissor.
Conexão Direta (Somente RØDE Capture):
Uma nova funcionalidade chamada Conexão Direta permite que você emparelhe até dois transmissores diretamente ao seu telefone via conectividade Bluetooth® usando o aplicativo RØDE Capture. Basta abrir o aplicativo e seguir as instruções na tela para emparelhar seus transmissores. Uma vez conectado, você pode gravar diretamente no aplicativo sem um receptor e acessar configurações chave como Redução de Ruído e Controle de Ganho para cada transmissor.
Output Gain: Adjusts the volume level of the Wireless Micro.
Split and Merged Modes: In Merged mode (default), the audio from both transmitters is combined and recorded to both the left and right channels. Merged mode is ideal for recording polished, ready-to-publish 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.
Noise Reduction: This feature which can be accessed through RØDE Capture, helps minimise background noise, enhancing audio clarity depending on the recording environment. It can be toggled individually for each transmitter and has three levels: OFF (no noise reduction), LOW (minimal noise reduction), and HIGH (concentrated noise reduction). This setting is adjustable via RØDE Central or RØDE Capture when the receiver is connected, or via RØDE Capture when a transmitter is directly paired.
LED Brightness: Adjusts whether LED lights are bright or dim (individually adjustable for each transmitter and receiver).
Updating Firmware: If your Wireless Micro needs a firmware update, you will receive a pop-up message when opening RØDE Central or RØDE Capture walking you through the process. Ensure that both your transmitters are out of the case, powered on and paired to your receiver so they can all be updated.
