RODE Wireless Micro USB-C Black is an ultra-compact wireless microphone system designed for content creators who record with a smartphone. The set consists of two lightweight transmitters with built-in microphones and a compact USB-C receiver that connects directly to a compatible device.

It is a convenient solution for vlogs, interviews, reels, video podcasts, YouTube videos, TikTok and Instagram content, as well as other mobile productions where clear and intelligible speech is essential.

Clear Audio Without Complicated Setup

One of the biggest advantages of the system is its ease of use. The transmitters are automatically paired with the receiver, so you do not need to spend time dealing with complicated settings before recording. Simply connect the USB-C receiver directly to a compatible smartphone and prepare the transmitters. No additional cable is required between the receiver and the phone, helping to keep the entire mobile recording setup compact and convenient when working on the move.

The built-in microphones are housed in a specially designed acoustic chamber engineered to capture clear and intelligible speech while helping to reduce the effects of wind noise. Intelligent GainAssist technology provides additional support during recording. It automatically controls audio levels, making it easier to achieve a well-balanced signal without constantly adjusting the gain manually.

Two independent transmitters allow you to record two people conveniently at the same time. This makes the system particularly useful for interviews, conversations, presentations, reports and content featuring two creators. Their compact dimensions and very low weight allow the transmitters to be attached comfortably to clothing while maintaining freedom of movement during recording.

Applications

The system is an excellent choice for mobile content creation. You can use it for vlogs, interviews, video podcasts, event coverage, product presentations, tutorials, educational content and short videos published on social media platforms. A wireless transmission range of over 100 m provides plenty of freedom when recording scenes where the speaker needs to move further away from the smartphone.

Integrated clips allow the transmitters to be attached quickly to clothing, while magnetic attachments provide additional positioning options. The black version is particularly suitable if you prefer a classic equipment style or want the microphones to appear more discreet against dark clothing. Thanks to their compact construction, the transmitters do not need to dominate the frame, which can be especially useful for professional interviews, presentations and online productions.

For outdoor recording, you can use the additional furry windshields to help reduce unwanted wind noise. The compact charging case makes the system easy to store and transport while also providing two additional charges. This extends the total operating time to up to 21 hours, making the system convenient for longer recording sessions, trips and productions on location.

The system also works with RODE Central, RODE Reporter and RODE Capture. On compatible Apple devices, the Direct Connect function in RODE Capture can connect the transmitters directly to a smartphone via Bluetooth. In supported recording workflows, this allows you to record without using the separate receiver.
