Summary

  • Australia-based microphone company Rode has released a new firmware that allows its $149 Wireless Micro microphone to connect directly to iPhones over Bluetooth, instead of requiring a USB-C dongle receiver.
  • The new firmware also introduces a new noise reduction tool to help minimise background noise when recording.
  • While simpler to use, the new direct connect feature is only compatible with iOS devices, and can only record from a single microphone at a time.
  • It also has a shorter range when using Bluetooth, rather than the wireless receiver.
  • The new firmware also includes an output gain control and the ability to record audio to separate channels for more flexibility in editing.
