Rodelink Wireless Filmmaker KIt

Australian microphone maker RODE has announced an interesting wireless system named as RodeLink Wireless Filmmaker Kit.

This wireless microphone system operates in the Series II 2.4 GHz band and can be used worldwide at this frequency. Unlike Sennheiser and the higher end Lectrosonics, which can only operate on different frequencies in different countries thereby limiting their use, the Rode system can be used worldwide. Hence as a filmmaker you can now carry your wireless microphone system abroad for use.

The RodeLink Wireless Filmmaker Kit also uses 128 bit encryption which is sent on two channels simultaneously. It provides 24bit/44.1K signal over 100meters. It is also USB as well as AA battery powered.

Unlike my Sennheiser G3, it has got internal antenna. So another botheration of packing will be over as the antenna of my Sennheiser G3 kit needs more space. The transmitter as well as receiver weigh 190 gms each.

A broadcast quality lavalier microphone is also included in the kit. The price mentioned in 399 usd. It costs considerably less than my Sennheiser G3 kit. It would be available in mid march.

This kit will surely be added to my audio equipment the moment it is available.
