Frequently Asked Questions

What is 'microphonics' in a tube?

All tubes are microphonic to a certain degree. That means if you tap them when in circuit you will hear that sound in your signal. Some are much worse than others, and can cause problems when they are modulated by vibration, or in extreme cases even by the sound you are recording!

 

How do you get a low-microphonic tube? Order one with that specification. It will have been tested, with many rejected from a batch. On average RØDE fail 20% of all tubes, this ensures that the ones we do use will be low-noise and low-microphonic.

Clark Carter
Adventurer, Explorer and Filmmaker Clark Carter is a very busy man. At only 21 years of age he and fellow adventurer and RØDE user Chris Bray attempted the first complete traverse of Victoria Island in the Canadian arctic, a distance of approximately 1000km, unassisted, using home made (and designed) wheeled kayaks. He's not sat still since then, and now at age 26 Clark has travelled the length of Papua New Guinea's longest river and skiied from the North Pole to Canada.
