Big news for current (or prospective) owners of the RØDE, a new Direct Connect feature has been introduced that is set to allow users to Wireless Micro transmitters directly to iOS devices without the need for a physical receiver.

Set to be available through the RØDE Capture app, this Direct Connect feature will enable Wireless Micro transmitters to pair directly with iPhones via Bluetooth, eliminating the need for all of that additional hardware and accessories.

Let’s look at how this could be an ideal option to dramatically streamline your setups while still preserving pristine audio quality when in the studio or out in the field.

The RØDE Wireless Micro’s Bluetooth Upgrade

The big headline here is really just a streamlining of technologies so that small (or even solo) video crews can work more efficiently and effectively with their audio recording. Something that’s always a plus for productions of any size.

"With Direct Connect, we’re making content creation more seamless than ever. It’s a direct response to what our users have been asking for – true wireless freedom, less hardware, and complete control from their phones. We’re thrilled to bring this feature to the Wireless Micro as we continue leading the way in compact, professional audio solutions." — Damien Wilson, CEO of RØDE.

In addition to Direct Connect, the update will also introduce several powerful enhancements within the RØDE Capture companion app. A brand-new noise reduction feature should help deliver even cleaner audio by minimizing background noise – ideal for recording in dynamic or uncontrolled environments. This setting can be toggled independently for each transmitter, giving users precise control over their sound.

More Audio Recording Options and Modes

Also, for even more added versatility, creators using the RØDE Wireless Micro will have the ability to record in merged or split modes. In merged mode, audio from both transmitters is combined into a single, ready-to-publish stereo track; in split mode, each transmitter is recorded to a separate channel, offering greater flexibility during post-production.

Also, a new output gain control lets users easily adjust recording levels directly within the app, ensuring perfectly balanced audio every time.

The release of Direct Connect follows RØDE’s announcement of the Wireless Micro recently winning Best Microphone in Rolling Stone’s 2025 Audio Awards. Praised for its compact form factor, intuitive design, and professional sound quality, the Wireless Micro was recognized as one of RØDE’s most accessible wireless solutions to date.

Price and Availability

Available in black or white and in both USB-C and Lightning configurations, the RØDE Wireless Micro includes a pocket-sized charging case offering up to 21 hours of battery life and remains compatible with a wide range of devices, including wireless iOS pairing via Direct Connect.
