Rode Wireless ME TX Ultra-Compact Wireless Transmitter with Built-In Mic

Rode Wireless ME TX: A Pocket-Sized Wireless Channel That Drops Into Any Series IV Receiver

The Wireless ME TX is the single transmitter at the heart of Rode's Series IV wireless ecosystem, sold on its own so you can add a wireless channel exactly where you need one. At 1.1 oz (32 g) and 1.8 x 1.7 x 0.7 inches, it clips to a collar or waistband and disappears on camera. A built-in pre-polarized condenser capsule with an omnidirectional pattern means you can mic a subject the moment you clip it on - no separate lavalier required. Pair it to any Rode Series IV receiver and you are recording broadcast-quality wireless audio in seconds.

Built-In Omnidirectional Capsule and GainAssist Mean You Clip It On and Record

The transmitter carries its own omnidirectional condenser capsule rated 20 Hz to 20 kHz, 122 dB SPL maximum, with a 100 dB dynamic range and 22 dBA of equivalent noise. That capsule captures clean, full voice without an external lav, while intelligent GainAssist auto-leveling adjusts the input gain on the fly - a soft talker and a sudden laugh both arrive at a usable level instead of clipping. When you do want a discreet lav or a VideoMic on the subject instead of the onboard capsule, the 3.5mm TRS input accepts it directly.

Series IV 2.4 GHz Transmission Holds the Link Where Cheaper Wireless Drops Out

The ME TX transmits over 2.4 GHz Series IV digital with 128-bit encryption and a line-of-sight range of 328 ft (100 m). That encrypted digital link is built to hold in the RF-dense environments that defeat budget wireless - wedding reception halls, conference floors, busy city streets. Audio is captured at 24-bit / 48 kHz, so the signal arriving at your receiver is broadcast quality from the capsule onward.

One Transmitter, Every Rode Series IV Receiver - Including the RodeCaster Console Line

Because the ME TX speaks the universal Series IV protocol, it pairs to any current Rode receiver: a Wireless ME or Wireless GO II receiver for camera work, a Wireless PRO for run-and-gun film, or the built-in wireless receiver inside a RodeCaster Duo, RodeCaster Pro II, or Streamer X. That last point matters for desk creators - the ME TX gives a podcast or streaming console a roving wireless guest mic without a separate receiver box cluttering the desk. Note that the ME TX transmits to a receiver and does not record on-board; it is a transmitter, not a standalone recorder.

For the Mobile Journalist, the Wireless Vlogger, and the Console Owner Adding a Channel

If you shoot interviews on the move, the ME TX clips on your subject and frees you from a boom and a cable. If you vlog, it gives you clean wireless voice without a wired lav running up your arm. And if you already own a Wireless ME, a Wireless GO II, or a RodeCaster console, it is the pocket-sized expansion that adds one more mic to your system. Up to 7 hours of USB-C-rechargeable battery and two furry windshields in the box mean you are ready for a half-day shoot, indoors or out.
