Equipped with a pressure gradient electret condenser 1/2" capsule with active electronics, the RØDE VideoMic Me-L is suitable for vloggers, musicians and any iPhone users seeking to drastically improve their iOS device’s quality of sound. The VideoMic Me-L is a Lightning connector equipped high-quality directional microphone (cardioid polar pattern) with a compact and lightweight body designed for Apple iOS devices.
Its Lightning connector plugs directly into the device, taking advantage of the device’s internal power for instant plug-and-play – no batteries necessary - and transmitting digital audio to be recorded directly. Like the previous model, a standard 3.5mm headphone jack on the rear allows audio play-through in real-time and effortless audio playback, but RØDE also improved the headphone amplifier so that we can actually use it to listen to music with standard headphones, with much better quality. And because the Lightning connector design is fully reversible, the VideoMic Me-L can be turned on either direction, useful for vloggers to shoot in selfie mode. There's even a small adjustable handle to secure the microphone on any device, even when using a thicker cover.
The VideoMic Me-L is made from durable aluminum and coated in a military-grade ceramic finish, providing a hardwearing chassis that’s resistant to scratching. It’s a build quality far and away from the competition, reflected in superior sound. The microphone also comes packaged with a deluxe furry windshield for shooting outdoors and in adverse weather.
“The original VideoMic Me is one of our most accessible mics and the world’s most popular microphone for mobile audio,” says Damien Wilson, RØDE CEO. “The new VideoMic Me-L’s Lightning connector and plug-and-play functionality is a great addition to the VideoMic family, introducing the latest iOS devices to RØDE’s made-for-purpose mic.
“Vidcon is the perfect venue for launching the VideoMic Me-L at: 50,000 emerging online creators converge at Anaheim over the weekend and all are looking to create the best content they can. George Lucas once said, ‘the sound and music are 50% of the entertainment in a movie’. With sound quality 50% of any decent video experience, the VideoMic Me-L is the perfect choice for today’s creative generation.”
