Rode Interview PRO Wireless Handheld Condenser Microphone Transmitter & Digital Recorder

Professional Wireless Audio for Broadcast and Content Creation

The Rode Interview PRO Wireless Handheld Condenser Microphone Transmitter & Digital Recorder is a broadcast-quality handheld wireless microphone designed for journalists, vloggers, podcasters, and content creators across Australia. Combining a high-quality omnidirectional condenser capsule with Rode’s Series IV 2.4GHz digital transmission, 32-bit float onboard recording, and intelligent GainAssist technology, it delivers pristine audio for interviews, presentations, and field recordings. Compatible with all Rode Series IV receivers, it offers unmatched versatility for professional audio capture.

Exceptional Audio and Wireless Performance

The Interview PRO features a broadcast-grade omnidirectional condenser capsule, capturing rich, detailed voice reproduction across a 20 Hz – 20 kHz frequency range. Its omnidirectional polar pattern ensures forgiving mic placement, ideal for dynamic interviews or presentations where precise positioning isn’t possible. Rode’s Series IV 2.4GHz digital transmission with 128-bit encryption provides stable audio up to 200 meters (656 feet) line of sight, optimized for reliable close-range operation. The built-in 32-bit float recorder with 32GB internal storage supports over 40 hours of recording at 48 kHz, offering massive headroom to prevent clipping and recover audio in post-production. GainAssist technology automatically adjusts levels in real-time, balancing loud or quiet inputs to eliminate clipping and ensure consistent audio quality. Users praise its clarity and ease of use, though some note the omnidirectional pattern may pick up ambient noise in loud environments, suggesting a directional mic for noisy settings.

Robust Design and Versatile Features

Crafted in Rode’s Sydney, Australia facilities, the Interview PRO features a sleek, ergonomic design with internal shock mounting to minimize handling noise and an integrated pop filter plus included windshield to reduce plosives and wind noise. The rechargeable battery provides up to 30 hours of operation, ensuring reliability during long shoots. The microphone pairs seamlessly with Rode Series IV receivers (e.g., Wireless PRO, Wireless GO II, Wireless ME, RØDECaster Pro II, or Duo, sold separately) for wireless recording to cameras, smartphones, or computers, and can function as a standalone field recorder without a receiver. Rode Central (desktop/mobile app) enables configuration, firmware updates, and access to recordings (desktop only), requiring macOS 10.15+, Windows 10 1803+, iOS 14+, or Android 9.0+. The kit includes a pop filter, windshield, USB-C cable, and SC27 SuperSpeed USB-C to USB-C cable. Users note the premium build but suggest a carrying case for portability and caution that the windshield’s white Rode logo may be visible on camera.
