Jim Feeley Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Cool. Rode/Freedman bought SoundField in late 2016, iirc. Looks like this is part of Rode's pre-NAMM announcement. My guess: Available in March for less than US$400. But I know nothing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 From the image it looks like it goes on the camera hotshoe?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reva Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 A few details of the aluminum body, like the camera shoe mount and the 9 V battery compartment, look very similar to those of the Rode Stereo VideoMic X (SVMX). No idea about the price but my random guess would rather be in the same range as the SVMX. I expect that inside the camera shoe mount is machined a female 3/8" thread like with the SVMX (thread is compatible with boom poles, stands and other accessories). Also referring to the form of the body I'd expect a pop shield and maybe also a wind shield (deadcat or dead wombat as Rode calls it). Referring to the picture I can't see if those two accessory could even be the same as for the SVMX, will depend on the required inner dimensions. That said I'm very surprised that this mic has already been anounced about one year ago and is still not available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronmac Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Will yield an incredible sound field of the mechanical noises of a dslr and operator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Tresch Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 How do you record 4 tracks on a dslr? Or is there some matrixing going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, you‘re right. Actually they haven’t released any of the mics mentioned there, except for the videomic pro + 7 minutes ago, Patrick Tresch said: How do you record 4 tracks on a dslr?

Patrick Tresch Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 So it's not a typical camera mic. Thanks Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramallo Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 IMMO looks like Soundfield brand will remains doing quality ambisonic mics and Rode will make cheap ambisonic mics, but who knows. Soundfield still work, they repaired my SPS200 the last week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Spaeth Posted January 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Big question is whether or not there will be a way to access the capsules individually. Knowing Rode I wouldn't be that surprised if there's just a stereo jack coming out of this mic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobilemike Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 One of the spec sheets I found said that it would have a multi-pin output to access all of the capsules individually. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
