RODE Wireless Micro USB-C Blue – Wireless Microphone for Smartphones

RODE Wireless Micro USB-C Blue is an ultra-compact wireless microphone system designed for content creators who record with a smartphone. The system uses two lightweight transmitters with built-in microphones and a compact USB-C receiver that connects directly to a compatible device. Thanks to automatic pairing, you can start recording almost immediately without complicated setup or additional cables. It is a convenient solution for vlogs, interviews, reels, YouTube videos, TikTok and Instagram content, as well as other mobile productions where clear and intelligible speech is essential. The blue finish also gives the system a distinctive appearance and allows the microphones to become a visible part of your on-camera style.

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 configuring the devices before recording. Simply connect the USB-C receiver directly to a compatible smartphone and prepare the transmitters. No additional cable is required between the phone and receiver, helping to keep the entire mobile recording setup compact and convenient.

The built-in microphones are housed in a specially designed acoustic chamber engineered to capture clear and intelligible speech while helping to reduce wind noise and plosives. 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 videos featuring two presenters. Each transmitter weighs just 12 g without the magnetic attachment, making it lightweight and comfortable when attached to clothing.

Applications

The system is an excellent choice for mobile content creation. You can use it to record vlogs, interviews, video podcasts, event coverage, product presentations, tutorials, educational content and short videos for social media platforms. A wireless transmission range of over 100 m provides plenty of freedom when shooting scenes where the person being recorded 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. For outdoor recording, the furry windshields can be used to help reduce unwanted wind noise. Compact dimensions and the charging case make the entire system easy to transport, allowing you to keep your recording equipment ready when working on location or travelling.

The system also works with RODE apps such as RODE Central, RODE Reporter and RODE Capture. On compatible Apple devices, RODE Capture can also enable a direct Bluetooth connection between the transmitters and the smartphone, allowing supported recording workflows without using the receiver.
