The Interview PRO ships with full compatibility with the entire range of RØDE Series IV wireless receivers, right out of the box. This includes the Wireless ME, Wireless GO II, Wireless PRO, RØDECaster Pro II, RØDECaster Duo, and more.

The internal recorder supports up to 40 hours of recording (32GB internal storage) and up to 32-bit floating point / 48 kHz recording resolutions. With 32-bit float, you get massive headroom to ensure the virtual elimination of any clipping that could occur. And with a special design that reduces handling noise, you will get pristine clean recordings whether recording internally or with a receiver.

GainAssist utilizes intelligent algorithms that automatically monitor the incoming audio and control your volume levels on the fly, ensuring your audio is perfectly balanced during recordings. If the sound suddenly gets louder, GainAssist will compensate and bring the audio level down for you.

If it is quieter, it will bring the audio level up. This ensures that your audio is smooth and balanced and helps prevent clipping in your recording because any audio peaks that might have overloaded your input will be reduced.

When using receivers equipped with timecode support, such as the RØDE Wireless PRO, the Interview PRO will deliver full timecode info with your audio signals, ideal for professional broadcast and audio-for-video applications.
