@rodemic introduces the RodeLink 2, its first digital UHF wireless microphone system, developed in collaboration with Electrosonics. This system covers the entire UHF band from 470 to 1070 MHz, allowing region-specific configuration with the same hardware. Unlike 2.4 GHz wireless systems that compete with WiFi, Bluetooth, and other devices, UHF provides more reliable performance in crowded environments such as large concert venues and busy film sets.

HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

The RodeLink 2 employs adaptive output power that automatically adjusts transmission strength from 1 to 15 milliwatts based on link conditions. A sub-gigahertz control frequency coordinates frequency hopping between primary and backup channels, automatically scanning the environment to select optimal frequencies and detect interference. When interference is detected, the system first increases transmitter power and then hops to an alternate frequency if needed.
Audio is transmitted as a complete digital link rather than analog, eliminating traditional fade issues and SNR challenges. The system effectively transmits 32-bit floating point equivalent audio over the air, capturing the full dynamic range from microphone noise floor to overload point. Transmitters record raw backup audio to internal microSD cards while simultaneously sending processed audio to the receiver, enabling post-production adjustments from the backup files.
The receiver offers analog output, time code input and output, and USB audio output for a full digital path when connected via USB-C. The system features a single record button, a slide power switch to prevent accidental activation, and removable batteries. Time code is embedded in audio files and can synchronize recordings across multiple devices, simplifying multi-camera and multi-track workflows.
For digital connections, USB-C provides a direct digital link that bypasses additional D/A conversion stages. The system supports gain assist modes for automatic dynamic control while maintaining the raw backup for complete flexibility in post-production.
