The RØDE Wireless Micro is an ultra-compact wireless microphone system designed specifically for creators who want clean, professional-quality audio from their smartphone without dealing with complicated equipment, cables or bulky microphones.
Featuring two compact wireless transmitters and a smartphone receiver, the Wireless Micro makes it easy to record two people at the same time. The transmitters have built-in microphones, integrated clips and magnetic mounting, allowing them to be attached directly to clothing and positioned discreetly while recording.
The system is designed around simplicity. The transmitters are automatically paired out of the box, while the receiver connects directly to your compatible smartphone, allowing you to get from setup to recording quickly. RØDE offers the Wireless Micro in both USB-C and Lightning versions, making it suitable for different generations of smartphones.
The Wireless Micro records at 48kHz/24-bit and features RØDE's Intelligent GainAssist technology, which automatically manages audio levels to help maintain balanced recordings. This makes it particularly useful for creators who want good audio without constantly adjusting microphone gain while filming.
Its built-in acoustic chamber is designed to capture clear and intelligible speech while helping mitigate wind noise and plosives. Additional furry windshields are also included for outdoor recording situations.
The Wireless Micro provides a transmission range of over 100 metres, giving creators plenty of freedom to move around while recording, although real-world range depends on the environment, obstacles and wireless interference.
Each transmitter provides approximately 7 hours of operating time, while the pocket-sized charging case provides two additional charges, giving up to 21 hours of total battery life according to RØDE.
Whether you're making TikToks, YouTube videos, Instagram Reels, interviews, product reviews, tutorials, vlogs or business content, the RØDE Wireless Micro is designed to make high-quality wireless smartphone audio remarkably simple.
The Wireless Micro comes with two transmitters, allowing you to record two people simultaneously. This makes it useful for interviews, conversations, collaborative TikToks, podcasts and two-person videos.
Unlike larger wireless systems designed primarily around cameras, the Wireless Micro is specifically designed for smartphone content creation. The receiver connects directly to a compatible phone without requiring a separate receiver cable.
The Wireless Micro is available in USB-C and Lightning configurations. The USB-C version supports compatible Android devices and modern USB-C iPhones, while the Lightning version is intended for compatible Lightning iPhones and iPads.
The transmitters are automatically paired, helping eliminate complicated setup before recording. Take them out, connect the receiver and you're ready to start creating.
RØDE's GainAssist technology automatically manages audio levels to help keep recordings balanced, reducing the need for constant manual gain adjustments.
The Wireless Micro records digital audio at 48kHz sample rate and 24-bit depth, providing detailed audio suitable for modern video production and social media content.
The system has a transmission range of over 100 metres, giving you freedom to move around while maintaining the wireless connection under suitable conditions.
Both the transmitters and receiver are designed to be extremely compact and lightweight, making the system easy to carry in a pocket, small camera bag or everyday backpack.
The transmitters feature integrated clips and magnetic attachments, giving you multiple ways to mount them securely to clothing while maintaining a discreet appearance.
The microphone's acoustic chamber is designed to help mitigate wind noise and plosives. Additional furry windshields are included for situations where additional wind protection is needed.
Each transmitter provides up to approximately 7 hours of operating time, while the charging case provides two additional charges for up to 21 hours of total battery life.
The charging case keeps the transmitters protected while also recharging them between recording sessions, making the entire system easy to carry around.
The USB-C version can also function as a USB audio interface with compatible computers, supporting stereo or dual-mono audio.
The Wireless Micro works with RØDE's software ecosystem, including RØDE Capture on compatible iOS devices, as well as RØDE Central and RØDE Reporter.
