הוראות הפעלה

Understanding the controls and settings will help you achieve the best audio quality.

הפעלה/כיבוי

Locate the power switch on the rear of the microphone. Slide it to the 'ON' position to power on the microphone. Slide it to 'OFF' when not in use to conserve battery life.

Level Control (dB)

The Videomic Pro features a three-position level control switch on the rear:

  • 0 dB: Standard gain setting, suitable for most recording situations.
  • +20 dB: Boosts the output level by 20dB. Useful for cameras with noisy preamps or when recording quiet sources.
  • -10 dB: Attenuates the output level by 10dB. Ideal for recording loud sound sources to prevent distortion.

מסנן גבוה (HPF)

A three-position high-pass filter switch is also located on the rear of the microphone:

  • שטוח: No filter applied. Captures the full frequency range.
  • 75Hz: Engages a 75Hz high-pass filter. This helps to reduce low-frequency noise such as air conditioner hum or traffic rumble.
  • 150Hz: Engages a 150Hz high-pass filter. This provides a stronger cut-off for more aggressive low-frequency noise reduction, useful in very noisy environments.

הערה חשובה:

Always monitor your audio using headphones connected to your camera's headphone output (if available) to ensure proper levels and prevent clipping. Adjust the microphone's level control and your camera's audio input levels accordingly.

תַחזוּקָה

Proper care will extend the life of your RODE Videomic Pro:

  • ניקוי: השתמשו במטלית רכה ויבשה לניקוי גוף המיקרופון. אין להשתמש בחומרי ניקוי נוזליים או ממסים.
  • טיפול בשמשה הקדמית: The foam windshield can be gently hand-washed with mild soap and water if it becomes dirty. Allow it to air dry completely before reattaching.
  • החלפת סוללה: Replace the 9V battery when the low battery indicator light (if present) illuminates, or if you notice a decrease in audio quality. Always remove the battery if the microphone will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
  • אִחסוּן: אחסן את המיקרופון במקום קריר ויבש, הרחק מאור שמש ישיר וטמפרטורות קיצוניות.
  • Mount Shock: The Rycote Lyre shock mount is durable, but avoid excessive force or bending to prevent damage.
