PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Rode VideoMic is a professional grade shotgun microphone. Based on the latest "film industry" technology, the VideoMic is designed specifically for use with high quality digital video cameras.
The microphone exhibits low noise and an unusually wide bandwidth for its size. It is ultra lightweight, yet rugged due to it's ABS construction. The VideoMic is powered by a standard 9 V battery and offers a Low Battery LED status indicator and a switchable high pass filter to reduce unwanted low frequency rumble.
*NOTE: The VideoMic attaches to any camcorder that has the standard hot-shoe fitting. It utilizes an attached stereo 1/8 in. mini cable for audio output.
Features:
Studio recording quality. Rugged fibre-reinforced ABS construction. 9 V battery operation. Custom designed integral wind shield. Condenser Microphone. Low noise circuitry. Low handling noise. Integral camera-shoe mount. Designed & manufactured in Australia. Full 2 year guarantee.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Operation power:
The VideoMic is designed to operate from a 9 V battery (ANSI:1604A or IEC:6LR61). The battery is conveniently located within the support arm of the microphone. A fully removable access cover and a 1-way insertion mechanism ensure ease of loading. The battery will provide more than 100 hrs. of continuous use due to a low consumption of only 5.0 mA.
Operation output impedance:
The microphone will operate satisfactorily into a load impedance as low as 1 kΩ. If a load below this is used, the output signal level will be reduced.
