Wireless mics step up the audio on videos using a mic and receiver – but one audio giant is working to allow iPhone and iPad users to shoot videos without a mic receiver at all. Rode has introduced firmware for the Wireless Pro and Wireless Go (Gen 3) mics that allows users working with iOS and iPadOS to skip the receiver that plugs into the smartphone or tablet’s port.
Instead, the feature, called Direct Connect, allows those mics to use the Bluetooth inside the mic and the Rode Capture app to connect to the wireless mic. That eliminates the need for plugging the receiver into the phone or tablet.
