Rode has announced the release of its smallest and simplest wireless microphone, the Wireless Micro. Specifically designed for smartphone content creators, the Wireless Micro is a pocket-sized wireless microphone system featuring a cable-free design that connects directly to mobile devices via USB-C or Lightning ports. 

The system contains two transmitters weighing just 12g each. Each transmitter houses a mic and has a patent-pending acoustic chamber design that reduces unwanted wind noise. It was designed to have an omnidirectional pickup pattern, which, when combined with GainAssist helps ensure consistent and balanced audio pickup.

According to Rode, the transmitter lasts up to 7 hours and has a wireless transmission beyond 100 metres. The Wireless Micro has a frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz, can handle up to 135dB SPLs, and has a signal-to-noise ratio of 73 dB. 

Along with the transmitters, the charging case weighs just a bit over 100g when including all the components. It provides an additional two cycles of battery life bringing total operation time to around 21 hours. It takes approximately 3 hours to charge via USB-C according to Rode. 

The system works with native smartphone camera apps and Rode’s free iOS video app, Rode Capture, which provides additional features such as sound-level monitoring. All in all, though not feature-rich, the Rode Wireless Micro might be another good alternative for those wanting a tiny wireless microphone.

The Rode Wireless Micro is available in Black and White and is available now for around S$180. You can find it on Lazada and Shopee. More information about the Rode Wireless Micro can be found here.
