RØDE Wireless ME TX Bodypack Transmitter

The RØDE Wireless ME TX is a professional-grade bodypack transmitter engineered for high-quality wireless audio capture. Designed for versatility and ease of use, this compact device integrates seamlessly into existing RØDE Series IV wireless setups, providing a reliable solution for content creators, videographers, and journalists who require consistent audio performance in a portable form factor.

Advantages

This transmitter stands out due to its intelligent GainAssist technology, which automatically manages audio levels to prevent clipping and ensure optimal volume during recording. The inclusion of a high-quality built-in omnidirectional microphone allows for immediate use without external accessories, while the 3.5mm TRS input provides the flexibility to connect professional lavalier microphones or shotgun mics. Its robust 2.4 GHz digital transmission ensures a stable connection over long distances, and the integrated lithium-ion battery offers reliable power for extended shooting sessions.

Suitable for

• Content creation for social media platforms
• Professional videography and filmmaking
• Journalistic interviews and field reporting
• Live streaming and podcasting setups

This device may not be suitable for users who do not already own a compatible RØDE Series IV receiver, as it cannot function as a standalone unit. It is also not intended for environments requiring multi-channel professional broadcast mixing consoles that do not support the RØDE Series IV digital protocol.
