RØDE has announced their smallest, simplest, and sleekest wireless microphone to date – the Wireless Micro.
As a leading player providing cutting-edge, high-quality wireless microphones for over a decade, RØDE’s latest innovation builds on their legacy that began with the Wireless GO, the world’s first compact wireless microphone system that revolutionized on-camera audio for creators worldwide.
The Wireless Micro represents the next evolution in smartphone content creation, delivering RØDE’s wireless expertise in its most accessible format yet. The system features a pocket-sized design tailor-made for smartphone creators, with versions available for both USB-C and Lightning devices.
The slimline receiver connects directly to a phone without cables, creating a super compact and tidy recording setup. The system includes two ultra-compact, ultra-lightweight transmitters with integrated clips and magnetic attachments, designed for discrete yet secure mounting.

The charging case, designed with portability in mind, provides two full recharges for up to 21 hours of total battery life while protecting the system. This makes it an ideal solution for content creators who need reliable audio equipment on the go.
Streamlined Operation for Enhanced Creativity
The Wireless Micro simplifies the process of capturing high-quality wireless audio for smartphone content. The transmitters come pre-paired and feature integrated clips, magnetic mounts, and built-in microphones for immediate use. Users can simply connect the receiver to their phone, attach the transmitters, and begin recording without dealing with cables or complex controls.
RØDE’s intelligent GainAssist technology automatically manages volume levels during recording, eliminating the need for constant manual adjustments and preventing issues with clipped or quiet recordings.
This feature enables users to capture upload-ready audio immediately, regardless of their audio expertise, and removes the need for post-processing – a significant advantage for mobile workflows.
Professional Audio Quality
While modern smartphones excel at video recording, their built-in microphones often fall short, particularly when recording audio at a distance.
The Wireless Micro addresses this limitation through its patent-pending acoustic chamber design. Each transmitter’s microphone is housed in a specially designed chamber that minimizes wind noise while maintaining exceptional audio clarity in a compact form factor.
The omnidirectional pickup pattern captures sound from all directions, simplifying placement and positioning. When combined with GainAssist, this ensures consistently balanced audio, even with movement or suboptimal placement.
Portable Professional Performance
The Wireless Micro represents RØDE’s effort to condense their wireless audio expertise into their most compact and portable format yet.
Each transmitter weighs just 12 grams and features a splashproof design for reliability in various weather conditions.
The pocket-sized charging case not only protects the system during transport but also provides two additional charges, extending the total operating time to 21 hours.
This release marks another milestone in the evolution of creator technology and advances RØDE’s mission to provide high-quality, accessible audio solutions for contemporary content creators.
