Rode Microphones extended the range of their 2.4GHz digital wireless system with the introduction of 2 new items - a handheld mic, and a desktop receiver unit.
The handheld mic features a Mute switch - the idea of which can chill the heart of any sound person ;-] - but there's an extremely handy Over-ride switch on the receiver which can un-mute (or mute) the mic remotely, as well as being able to change the mic level.
Both new units can work across the range, which includes the Newsshooter and Filmmaker sets.
