The microphone achieves 128-bit encryption over its 2.4 GHz fixed frequency agile technology to establish a secure transmission. A diversity antenna mounted on the bottom ensures its long-distance range.

Boasting low handling noise that mitigates unwanted rumble, the microphone also sports relatively easy-to-use controls, such as a mute switch and a pair button for one-touch pairing with compatible receivers. Compatible receivers can be found in the RODE Newshooter Kit, Filmmaker Kit, or, if you're looking to assemble your own system, the RX-CAM receiver.

The mic is powered with the included LB-1 lithium-ion rechargeable battery, or by means of two AA batteries, which you can purchase separately. The LB-1 is rechargeable over USB, and a micro-USB cable is provided for this purpose.
