2. Attaching to a Camera or Boompole
The Stereo VideoMic Pro features an integrated camera shoe mount and a 3/8-inch thread for versatile mounting options.
- Camera Hot Shoe: Slide the microphone's camera shoe mount into your camera's hot shoe until it clicks into place. Tighten the locking wheel if available on your camera.
- Boompole/Stand: For boompole or stand mounting, utilize the 3/8-inch thread located at the base of the shoe mount. Screw the microphone onto the compatible thread of your boompole or stand.

The Stereo VideoMic Pro features intuitive controls on its rear panel for optimal audio capture.
Figure 2: Rear controls of the Rode Stereo VideoMic Pro.
1. Agbara Tan / Paa
Slide the power switch (located on the left side of the rear panel) to the "ON" position to power on the microphone. The power indicator LED will illuminate green. Slide to "OFF" when not in use to conserve battery life.
2. High-Pass Filter (HPF)
The HPF switch (left switch on the rear panel) allows you to reduce unwanted low-frequency rumble from sources like traffic, air conditioning, or handling noise. Set it to the "80Hz" position to activate the filter, or "OFF" for a full-range response.
3. Iṣakoso ipele
The three-step level control switch (right switch on the rear panel) adjusts the microphone's output level:
- 0dB: Standard output level for most recording situations.
- -10 dB Pad: Reduces the microphone's sensitivity by 10dB. Use this setting when recording very loud sound sources to prevent distortion.
- +20 dB Boost: Increases the microphone's output by 20dB. This is particularly useful for cameras with noisy preamps, as it allows you to lower the camera's input gain, thereby reducing the camera's internal noise floor while maintaining a healthy audio signal.
4. Iyokuro Afẹfẹ Afẹfẹ
The included foam windshield helps to reduce light wind noise. For outdoor recording in windy conditions, it is highly recommended to use an additional furry windshield (e.g., Rode Dead Kitten, sold separately) for maximum wind protection.

5. Understanding Polar Pattern and Frequency Response
The Stereo VideoMic Pro utilizes a cardioid polar pattern in an XY configuration, providing a wide stereo image. The frequency response is optimized for clear audio capture across a broad range of sounds.

Itoju
- Ninu: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the microphone body. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Ibi ipamọ: When not in use, store the microphone in a protective pouch or case to prevent dust and damage. Remove the battery if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
- Mimu: While the Rycote Lyre shock mount is durable, avoid excessive force or dropping the microphone to prevent internal damage.
- Rirọpo Batiri: Replace the 12V battery when the power indicator LED begins to dim or the microphone ceases to function.
Laasigbotitusita
| Isoro | Owun to le Fa | Ojutu |
|---|---|---|
| Ko si idajade ohun | Microphone not powered on; dead battery; incorrect cable connection; camera input settings. | Ensure power switch is ON; replace 12V battery; check 3.5mm cable is fully inserted into both microphone and camera; verify camera's audio input settings are correct and input level is not muted or too low. |
| Iyipada ohun | Input level too high (clipping); very loud sound source. | Engage the -10dB pad on the microphone; reduce the input gain on your camera. |
| Excessive background noise/hiss | Camera's preamp noise; environmental low-frequency rumble; RF interference. | Engage the +20dB boost on the microphone and lower your camera's input gain; activate the 80Hz high-pass filter; ensure wireless systems or Wi-Fi are not too close to the microphone or cable. |
| Wind noise in recordings | Insufficient wind protection. | Ensure the foam windshield is properly fitted. For strong winds, use an additional furry windshield (e.g., Rode Dead Kitten). |
| Handling noise/vibrations | Physical contact with camera/microphone during recording. | The Rycote Lyre shock mount minimizes this, but avoid unnecessary contact with the camera or microphone during recording. |
