The Rode Wireless ME is a streamlined and easy-to-use wireless microphone system that lets content creators, vloggers, influencers, and mobile journalists at all experience levels quickly and confidently incorporate hands-free wireless audio into their productions—regardless of whether they're shooting on a camera, tablet, or mobile device.
Boasting secure Series IV 2.4 GHz digital transmission at a range of up to 656 feet, the single-channel system is ready upon powering up, with no menus and or finicky dials to worry about—just instant functionality with easy-to-see LEDs that provide critical information at a glance. When you're ready for more, use Rode's companion app to access a powerful feature set and extended customization of settings.
- Equipped with a high-caliber microphone built into the transmitter's compact housing, the Wireless ME delivers quality audio without demanding a separate microphone (external lavalier mic optional).
- The internal capsule's omnidirectional polar pattern ensures reliable audio pickup, even if mic placement is less than ideal; your subject's voice will be captured with clarity, intelligibility, and consistency.
- Already have a top-of-the-line external lav? The transmitter packs in a 3.5mm TRS input with plug-in power, so you can connect most lavalier microphones equipped with a non-locking 3.5mm TRS mini plug (such as Rode's own Lavalier GO, available separately), and still enjoy the convenience of the Wireless ME.
- Engage low-sensitivity mode to avoid distortion when dealing with loud talkers.
- LED brightness adjustment for the transmitters allows optimal visibility in any shooting environment.
Compact Receiver for Cameras and Mobile Devices
- Thanks to the receiver's minute form factor and integrated clip, it provides the flexibility to be easily mounted on a camera, phone, or tablet.
- The single-channel receiver features both a 3.5mm output jack and a USB-C connector, allowing it to work with a wide range of cameras and mobile devices.
- Use the supplied 3.5mm TRS to TRS cable for connection to cameras; the 3.5mm TRS to TRRS cable is for use with smartphones and mobile devices with a headphone jack.
- Use the USB-C to USB-C cable to connect the receiver to Android phones and mobile devices equipped with a USB-C port; a USB-C to Lightning connector is supplied for use with Lightning-equipped Apple devices.
Out of the Box, onto the Set
- Mobile journalists, influencers, and vloggers will appreciate the pocket- and bag-friendly portability. The transmitter and receiver are so tiny and lightweight, the subject and camera operator will forget they're even there.
- Courtesy of Rode's optimized transmission algorithm, the Wireless ME empowers you with a line-of-sight range of up to 656 feet and bolsters signal dependability to mitigate drop-outs in crowded short-range environments such as retail stores, malls, office buildings, and hotels. For optimal performance, users are encouraged to maintain as direct a line of sight as possible between the transmitter and receiver.
- Rode's Series IV 2.4 GHz digital transmission incorporates 128-bit encryption for security, stability, and hassle-free operation while bypassing the frustration of dealing with licenses and frequency mandates. Go anywhere in the world with the Wireless ME and get reliable wireless performance.
Works with Rode Connect
- The Wireless ME can be fully integrated with Rode Connect software, allowing you to capture broadcast-grade sound for your content with more freedom and flexibility than ever before, perfect for IRL streaming, recording presentations or classes, and more.
- Using the Wireless ME with Rode Connect is also ideal for podcasting applications where you require the freedom of wireless audio, from recording interviews to casual podcasting setups.
- Rode Connect allows two Wireless MEs to be connected to a single computer. Each transmitter can be allocated to its own channel in the software for two separate wireless audio streams, each with an individual level meter as well as solo and mute buttons. The Wireless ME can also be used in conjunction with the NT-USB Mini within Rode Connect.
Additional Features
- The receiver's 3.5mm TRS output sends a mic-level signal, making it compatible with an array of devices including DSLR and mirrorless cameras, mobile devices, and portable audio recorders.
- A 3-stage level control (0, -12, or -24 dB) on the receiver allows simple and effective optimization of signal levels for your device. Use the app to adjust the level in 3 dB increments from 0 to -30 dB.
- Internal lithium-ion polymer batteries offer up to seven hours of battery life to handle long shoots.
- USB-C ports on the components provide for battery recharging, powering via external USB battery packs (available separately), and firmware updates; the receiver also outputs audio to the USB-C port for a digital audio connection when used with mobile devices and computers.
- Easily recharge over lunch and dinner breaks—go from 0 to a full charge in just two hours.
- Includes a furry windshield to minimize noise from wind and rustling clothes.
