Dave Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 New, interesting stereo mic coming from Rode : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RscPsKiFXI http://www.rodemic.com/svmx Curious about the sound sample in the video clip - recorded on the DSLR shown or another device??? No mention. The flamenco guitar clip doesn't seem Kosher - overdubbed solo, maybe flown in from another clip? Apparently made of aluminum rather than plastic which is nice.

Jim Feeley Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 No idea how it was recorded. Guess would be (and ears suggest) not a DSLR. And again, I guess but I'd think the guitar clip was captured with the mic on the shoot. Would seem super-deceptive if not. And note at 0:15 the guitarist is playing through an amplifier... Rode says, "The Stereo VideoMic X will retail for US$799." Not sure I'd pay that much for that mic. Just so it's handy, here's the demo video Dave (and I) are talking about (since for me at least, it didn't embed in Dave's post above): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmahaAudio Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 From looking at the photos and the video it's almost impossible to figure out what it looks like. Why no pictures from the front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomboom Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Looks like the H4-type mics on a preamp with stereo (hum-hum; two-channel) output. I sincerely hope the mics and preamp are good since you can get a Sony D-50 that'll record and provide the output for an inferior price...

studiomprd Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 does it do ATMOS ? AURO ? MDA ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borjam Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 Although the thread is old it's worth pointing out that it's very susceptible to humidity problems. I've got one and it has gone berserk two times for me because of that. In both cases I was in high humidity situations. The first one, recording the dusk chorus at a wetland and the second time recording ambience and some birds at a beach. The microphone turned out to be a mist prediction device, it begun making noise right before the mist came Anyway I guess the only robust solution to record outside will be Sennheiser's MKH series. I wonder why Rode didn't make the SVMX RF biased, after all they already have two RF biased models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Tresch Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 Your are right borjam. It's about as sensitive to humidity as the Schoeps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is prone to humidity and about the same as the Schoeps CCM41 wich has a real issue with humidity. Sennheiser doesn't have this issue.

Hardly a mystery: surely a cost/price/market decision, as an RF biased model - a la NTG3 and NTG8 - would doubtless be decidedly more expensive. And the SVMX already seems rather highly priced for what it is...! Cheers, Roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not me personally, but friends and colleagues I know in real life. And I‘ve had a rather pleasant couple of days in a steam bath with both a CMIT and a CMC641.
