The Isomax 2 All Purpose Microphone is designed to effectively capture instruments and vocals in both recording and sound reinforcement.
The Hypercardioid polar pattern is versatile and ideal for capturing vocals and instruments without off-axis noise and distortion. The directional pattern is unaffected by frequency variations and provides a high rejection.
A wide frequency response and low signal-to-noise ratio result in clean audio reproduction.
The Isomax 2 features an impressive 150dB SPL handling for maximum gain before distortion. This is ideal while close capturing instruments with high transient response.
Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. Will this work with a iPhone 7?
A: I don't have an iPhone but, it should work with the iPhone if you get the proper 3.5mm adapter.
Q: 2. Will it work with a canon 1200d
A: If a camera has a standard external mic jack, the Rode VideoMicro will work with the camera. To attach it directly to the camera, the camera needs to also have a flash hot shoe, not for connectivity, but for holding the mic on the camera.
Q: 3. I know that on a7iii the B1M mic will only be analog. what is the differance between analog and digital sound? analog is worse?
A: When the Sony B1M is used in analog mode, the audio signal must undergo more conversion steps, which is not likely to produce an audible difference in quality but is technically less efficient. In addition, adding an analog audio cable between the microphone and camera may introduce noise to the signal.
Q: 4. Will this work with a standard 1/8" jack on a computer for recording sounds (i.e. as an external computer mic)?
A: If your computer has a 3.5mm microphone input that will provide plug-in power, then yes it will work.
Q: 5. has anyone found a smaller foam windscreen that fits? I am shooting in a situation where I don't want to draw attention and the windshield that comes with it is pretty noticeable.
A: Unfortunately at this time we do not have an alternative windshield available for the VideoMicro that is compatible aside from the WS9 provided by Rode.
Q: 6. Will this work on a Rebel EOS T6?
A: No, the Canon Rebel EOS T6 does not have an input for an external microphone and only records audio using its built-in internal mic. You can use a separate recorder with an external microphone such as the Rode VideoMicro to record an audio track and then combine the separate audio with the video in post production.
Q: 7. Will this camera work with a nikon 5200
A: I think it will work with any camera with a 1/8 audio input. It works just fine with both of my Nikons - a D5300 and D5500.
Q: 8. Will this work with iPad 12.9? If so, what other things do I need to purchase?
A: Yes, you can use the RODE VideoMicro Ultracompact Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone with the iPad 12.9. You will need to use the Apple Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter (B&H # APLAADAP) and you can mount the microphone on a mini tripod like the JOBY GorillaPod 3K Flexible Mini-Tripod with Ball Head Kit (B&H # JOJB01507).
Q: 9. Does the rode videomicro work with the fuji x100f?
A: I don't have that camera, but I'm sure it will ... I works with my canons well.
Q: 10. Will it work with my iPad mini gen1 ? Is the sc7 cable mandatory to connect it to my iPad?
A: Yes Only with SC7 Cable.
