Rode Stereo VideoMic
The SVM is destined to become an Industry standard and not only offers the same sound quality & performance as it’s predecessor (VM) but also meets the industry demand for stereo recording.
The X/Y configuration enables the SVM to capture the true ambience of the recording space, while still offering a high level of rear rejection and low noise.
Powered by a standard 9v battery, the SVM also offers a power status LED, a high pass filter switch and pad to match most cameras imputs.
The SVM incorporates a custom shock mount system and comes completed with a high level wind filter.
SVM Controls:
There are three switches located on the end of the mic body (fig. 8):a Pad (with 0 and -10dB level cut), an On-Off switch, a High Pass Filter ( and ) with which you can use to remove rumble or other low frequency noise while recording. It will affect the tone slightly but in some situations it is required.
A power indicator LED flashes RED for 0.25 sec. when the mic is first turned on. This changes to GREEN indicating the battery has adequate charge. When the battery runs low, the LED will change back to RED and you should change the battery for a fresh one.performance.
