RODE Stéréo VideoMic X

RODE Stereo VideoMic X — a professional stereo condenser microphone delivering broadcast-grade audio for DSLR, mirrorless, and professional video cameras. With its rugged metal body, matched true condenser capsules, and high-definition stereo imaging, it’s the ultimate on-camera mic for filmmakers and field recordists seeking spatial accuracy and pristine sound quality.

The Stereo VideoMic X features two ½-inch externally polarized condenser capsules arranged in an XY configuration for natural stereo depth and phase-accurate imaging. Its balanced XLR outputs and dual 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack provide flexibility for both professional and consumer setups. Digital switching on the rear panel offers control over high-pass filtering (0/75/150 Hz), high-frequency boost, and a three-stage gain control (-10 dB, 0, +20 dB), allowing precise adaptation to different environments.

The microphone incorporates Rycote Lyre shock mounts for vibration isolation and a durable, all-metal chassis ideal for demanding production environments. Powered via 48V phantom power (XLR) or 9V battery (3.5 mm), the Stereo VideoMic X excels in stereo field recording, ambient sound capture, and music performances where detail and space matter most.
