Introduction
Thank you for investing in the Stereo VideoMic
(SVM).
Those of you who are fi rst time customers, may
be interested to know that we are one of the largest and
most respected professional microphone companies
in the world. Our studio microphones are the ‘tone’
behind some of the biggest hits of the last decade, and
our award winning live performance microphones are
on tour throughout the world.
The SVM is a very special product born out of
the success of the original VideoMic, now the world’s
biggest selling on camera shotgun. So why did we
design the SVM? It’s simple, our customers asked us
to give them the same sound quality and performance
they were getting from the VideoMic but in a stereo
system. We listen to our customers.
This was not an easy project, but as you will soon hear,
have done it again! The SVM captures the true
ambience of the recording space, and still offers a high
level of rear rejection and low noise. You can also use
the SVM as a remote mic on a stand or boom pole and
have a VideoMic on the camera, or an NTG1/2 on a
boom pole. By incorporating a simple mixer you can
then create a very professional audio track.
Please take the time to visit www.rodemic.com and
register your microphone for a full ten year warranty.
While there you can view recording tips and techniques,
as well as browse the comprehensive range of
accessories for
