FAQs
Do I need a separate transmitter to use the Rode Interview Micro?
Yes, the Rode Interview Micro is an adaptor that requires a RØDE Wireless GO II or Wireless ME transmitter to function. It does not contain a microphone or transmitter itself.
Can I use this with other wireless microphone brands?
No, this adaptor is specifically designed and compatible only with RØDE Wireless GO II and RØDE Wireless ME transmitters.
How do I attach the windshield?
The windshield is designed to slip over the microphone capsule end of the transmitter once it is securely fitted into the Interview Micro adaptor.
What is the benefit of the ergonomic design?
The ergonomic design provides a comfortable, balanced grip, making the microphone easier to hold for extended periods during interviews or filming, and it presents a more professional look than holding just the transmitter.
Is the adaptor heavy?
No, the Interview Micro is designed to be ultra-lightweight to ensure comfort during use and minimize any strain.
Can I use this for podcasting?
While primarily designed for handheld interviews, it can be used for podcasting if you are employing a handheld interviewing style. However, for static podcast setups, a dedicated studio microphone might be more suitable.
Does it come with any cables?
No, the Interview Micro adaptor itself does not include any cables. You will use the standard cables that came with your RØDE Wireless GO II or Wireless ME transmitter.
Troubleshooting
Transmitter not fitting securely
Ensure you are using a compatible RØDE Wireless GO II or Wireless ME transmitter. Check for any debris in the adaptor's slot and clean if necessary. Apply firm, even pressure when inserting the transmitter.
Wind noise is still present
Ensure the windshield is properly attached and covers the microphone capsule fully. For very windy conditions, consider adding a more robust windscreen or moving to a more sheltered location.
Audio quality is muffled
Verify the windshield is dry if it was recently cleaned. Ensure no part of the adaptor or windshield is obstructing the microphone opening. Check the transmitter's audio settings.
