hi everyone welcome to MADpack where we unpack your next product and today is
all related with your microphone to do your YouTube videos I will let you know
why I choose the rode mic Pro Plus in comparison to the old version of the
rode mic Pro and also I will let you know why it's so important to have a
good sound on your videos so what is the rode mic Pro Plus is nothing more than
shotgun microphone that have a super cardioid directional pattern so what is
that so basically this microphone is focusing in the sound that is coming
from the front and it's cancelling the sound of the environment so in that way
you can focus only on my voice okay so if something happens around my house
you'll not hear it besides that this microphone is compatible with all the
DLRs and mirrorless cameras and obviously you will be able to connect
also with your phone so in this case I'm filming with my Samsung Note 8 and in
this case you have to buy this cable so it's an sc7 cable so I will leave in the
description below so in that case you can use this phone with your phone it's
not this phone this this micro the frequency response of this microphone is
between 20Hz to 20kHz and inside the box you will find the USB
cable I don't understand why they don't use a USB C so it will be much quicker
to charge you will find your TSR cable so you will be able to connect this
cable to your DSLRs and mirrorless cameras and also you will find a quick
guide but I don't think that is interesting to see this so what is the
first big advantage of this microphone compared to the old version is that I
can remove the cable so I can exchange the cable to another one if I want or if
something happens to the cable, if it's broken I can always replace it
so that is a big big advantage the power of this device was also improved inside
this microphone you have a built-in battery so is the LB-1 that have a
capability to record during 100 hours and just takes two hours to recharge
if you forgot to recharge your batteries not a problem you just have to pass in a
shop buy some AA batteries of 9V put inside and you are ready to go
or if you are filming at home like I'm doing right now if you don't have charge
or if you don't have a batteries you always can plug to the the USB and
it will be able to use it even if it's recharging the battery another big
advantage of the rode mic Pro Plus compared to the old version or any
microphone in the market that I know is the automatic power function what is
that? So basically if you connect to your DSLR, your phone or your mirrorless
camera it will recognize that is connected so in the phone is a bit
different compared to the other two so if you connect to the phone he
automatically turns on the microphone but you will not recognize that you are
not using the camera but if you use on your DSLR or in your mirrorless camera
if you turn off your camera you will turn off the microphone in the back of
the microphone you will find the new switching arrangement the system use two
stage high-pass filters to reduce the low frequencies so basically you can use
in 75Hz or 150HZ. The 75 Hertz is basically to use indoors so imagine you
are shooting a video like I'm doing right now but the cars are passing on
the back and you don't want that sound to appears on your record so you use
the 75HZ. The 150Hz are perfect if you are shooting outside so for
example if you are doing an interview or if you are vlogging use this option
because it's going to cut all the sound that is outside of the human frequency
range and in that case everything will sound much more clear. You also can turn
off and in that case you're going to have a more flat frequency. Like in the
old version you can also control your gain and in that case you can have flat
you can put -10db or you can in situations that you are more further
away from your microphone, or if you are outside, you can use a +20db. With a
rode mic Pro Plus compared to the old version you also can press multiple
buttons and unveil new features. To give a brightness on the
top ends of your sound there is really good when you are outdoor or per example if
you are in the room that do become echo there is an option and I have that turn
on right now for that you just have to press the two buttons on the bottom and
in that way you're going to see a light that it will turn on to let you know
that that option is working another feature that you're going to find in
this microphone is the safe Channel to prevent clipping. So what is that? So
basically your right channel is going to record 10db above the left one so
in that case if the right channel is peaking you will not choose
this one and you are able to choose the left side or imagine if the sound is not
too loud you can use the right one obviously this is possible because this
microphone have a dual mono output through his 3.5 mini jack. Suspension
mode they remove those rubbers that you can find on the road mic Pro and now
it's just termal plastic so the durability also in this case will be
longer than in the old version. Another great improvement on this microphone is
the new design on the shield wind so basically you can remove it you can put
a different one if you damaged this one you can buy another one and replace it
and obviously when you remove it also you have much easier access to the
battery so the battery is also in the same place but it's much easier to open
many persons was complaining about the old version and obviously you don't
have any issues with this one so you have two buttons on the sides and you
just have to open to take it off so now you can understand why I decided to
invest in a rode my Pro Plus compared to the old version and why I choose Rode?
Because it's a reliable company. They are in the market for a long time and they
do the things quite quite well so I think it's it's a no-brain so basically
they improve the sustain of the microphone if I damage the cable I can
change it if the windshield is damaged or if I want to use something different
to give me more protection against the wind I can do it
the door of the batteries is much easy to open and close I don't have any
issues if I need an AA battery I can use it so if I forgot to charge so I
think it's too much things to don't spend the extra money
compared to the old version I think the old version is too expensive for what
they give to us when this microphone is on the market maybe if it was cheaper
our thing choice but in this case I think this is a very good buy so the big
question of this video is why should I buy a good microphone to my youtube
channel and the answer is very very simple
first of all buying a good microphone is much much cheaper than buying a good
camera second if you want to do a video like this one your camera will be too
far away from you to record the sound in the good conditions so for that you need
a mic close to you and in this case is next to my mouth so the quality of sound
will be much much better. Third one may be just me but I hate to spend money in
something that I'm thinking okay I'm not going to use for a long time so in that
case I prefer to wait a little bit longer buying something good and I know
that I'm going to have a device for a long time. Four, with a rode mic Pro Plus
it's versatile I can use with my phone I can good use with a DSLR I can use with
anything so that's why I choose this micro because in the future when I will
buy, example my Canon D60 I will be able to use and shoot with this
microphone on top of my camera last but not least the rode mic Pro Plus is very
versatile you can use to vlog on the go, you can use inside outside you can
change the windshield like I said if you need something to protect more against
the wind so you can do whatever you want you can mount on top of a stand you can
mount on top of your DSLR or mirrorless cameras and that's it guys question of
