The idea is to help TikTok and other creators capture much better-quality audio than their smartphone's microphone can offer.
The receiver unit connects to the bottom of your smartphone via a USB-C or lightning port. Meanwhile, the microphones attach to the subject via integrated clips or magnetic attachments, then capture what Rode calls"pristine" quality sound. Specifically, they offer a 20-20 kHz frequency range and 73 dB signal-to-noise ratio, with a transmission range around 330 feet.To use it, simply connect the receiver to your iOS or Android device and it will take over as the system microphone.
The omnidirectional transmitters weigh just 12 grams and are tiny enough to be discreet when clipped onto your subject. The built-in microphones use what Rode calls"acoustic chambers" with a patent-pending design. That supposedly lets you capture clear and intelligible audio while reducing wind noise, though a pair of windmuffs is also included in the kit.
