Rode Mics Connect Directly to iPhone via Bluetooth

Rode is enhancing its popular wireless microphone systems with a new firmware update. The update introduces the Direct Connect feature to the Wireless Pro and Wireless Go (third-gen) models, mirroring functionality previously exclusive to the Wireless Micro. This allows the microphones to connect directly to iPhones and iPads through Bluetooth, bypassing the requirement for a physical receiver. Users will need to utilize the Rode Capture app for this seamless pairing.

Rode assures that this advancement does not compromise the high-quality audio expected from these systems. The Direct Connect feature supports dual-transmitter recording in both merged stereo tracks and split individual channels, providing creators with valuable options for post-production.

This firmware addition is particularly beneficial for content creators working with iOS devices, streamlining the audio setup process significantly. By offering new capabilities to existing products, Rode demonstrates a commitment to user convenience and sustainability, reducing the need for customers to purchase new hardware.
