The Stereo VideoMic X is the ultimate broadcast-grade stereo microphone for on-camera use. Utilising all-metal construction, it is incredibly robust making it ideal for regular professional use, while also providing high levels of resistance to RF interference. The mic features a matched pair of ½” true-condenser capsules, configured in a stacked X-Y configuration, providing a highly-immersive soundscape. Each capsule is supported by the Rycote® Lyre® shock-mounting system, providing isolation from vibration as well as knocks and bumps. Digital switching on the rear of the SVMX allows the user to control the level adjustment (-10dB or +20dB), high-pass filter (0/75/150Hz) and an innovative high-frequency boost (+6dB @ XHz) designed to boost the intelligibility of dialogue. In a first for the VideoMic range, professional-grade balanced outputs are available on the side of the body, in addition to the RF shielded 3.5mm stereo output cable. An outer dome structure provides physical protection for the sensitive capsules, while reducing wind noise in the same manner as RØDE’s RedDot-winning Blimp.

IN THE BOX:
The [Stereo] VideoMic [X] performed flawlessly during our testing period. As on-camera microphone, it was lightweight and unobtrusive. The selector buttons were easy to use, and their LED indicator lights were easy to see even in bright daylight. The high-pass filter (HPF) controls were a quick way to reduce low frequency hums, and the high frequency boost compensated for detail lost when using a wind screen outside.
Sound quality is what you’d expect from a professional RØDE microphone. We tested the Stereo VideoMic X outside and inside with excellent results. Human voices were warm and clear, as were the nature sounds we captured outside.
In conclusion we have to say we like this mic. It is costly, yes, but it sounds great to our ears. At one point during an edit our Editor was convinced there was an airplane going overhead, only to discover when he pressed “stop” that the sound was on the recording he was editing. If you’re in the market for a compact, quality stereo mic for the top of your camera or camcorder then the Rode Stereo Videomic X is definitely worth a look and listen.

The Stereo VideoMic X provides the option of outputting via high-quality balanced XLR cables, using stereo mini-XLR outputs on the body.
One approach to cabling the microphone is to create your own cables, using premium leads and high-quality connectors such as those from Switchcraft or Neutrik. This allows you to choose the exact length of cable that you require for your application, as well as whether you prefer a traditional straight cable, or a curly cable that can be stretched if required.
If you'd prefer to purchase pre-made cables we can suggest sourcing cables similar to these:
