RODE Wireless ME | Easy Wireless Audio for Vlog, YouTube, and video
In this week’s episode we have a look at and listen to the new Wireless ME microphone system from RODE. This ultra-compact wireless system has some neat new features including GainAssist, which can help make recording easier while preventing clipping. The system also includes a built-in mic on both transmitter and receiver so that your camera operator can contribute to the conversation. In this video we test out the Wireless ME’s sound quality, walk through its feature set, and determine the workflows for which it might be most useful. Let’s take a closer look!
