Azden PRO-XRe Digital Wireless Microphone System

The PRO-XRe is a new kind of 2.4 GHz digital wireless microphone. Using several new technologies, it avoids the line-of-sight dependency and congestion problems that plague traditional 2.4 GHz wireless, resulting in an extremely reliable wireless microphone.

Easy-to-use, compact and lightweight, the PRO-XRe is perfectly suited for video creators of all types. Whether you shoot with a DSLR camera, mirrorless camera, cinema camera or mobile device, the PRO-XRe can deliver high-quality and dependable wireless audio for your videos.

Frequency Spectrum Auto-Scan

Once powered on, the PRO-XRe automatically scans the 2.4 GHz frequency spectrum and selects the best available frequencies to use for its connection, thereby avoiding interference-prone frequency bands.

Automatic Interference Avoidance

The activity of 2.4 GHz devices in a given area can change frequently and rapidly. That is why the PRO-XRe constantly monitors this range and automatically and seamlessly changes its transmission to use different frequencies when it detects the possibility of interference.

Signal Redundancy Technology

Further fortifying the system’s resistance to interference, PRO-XRe employs Azden’s proprietary Signal Redundancy Technology, in which the transmitter sends three copies of its signal to the receiver at all times, each on a different frequency. If the system predicts interference of the primary signal, it will instantly switch to using one of the other two signals without any interruptions.

External Antenna Design

While many other digital wireless systems are moving to under-performing internal antennas, the PRO-XRe system employs a more reliable external antenna design and comes with two interchangeable antenna options for the transmitter: a flexible antenna for comfortable and inconspicuous wearing of the transmitter, and a high-gain antenna for increased performance especially at long distances and with line-of-sight obstruction.

Rechargeable Batteries

The built-in, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries provide up to 21 hours of run time on the receiver and 15 hours on the transmitter; plenty of power for a long day of shooting. Eliminates the hassles of single-use batteries and reduces e-waste. The system comes with a dual-USB charging cable and AC adapter.

Included Lavalier Microphone

The professional-grade, omni-directional lavalier microphone captures the full frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, ensuring crisp and clear recording of your subject’s voice. The angled 3.5 mm TRS plug allows compatibility with many other wireless systems and recorders.

Volume Control and Monitoring

The receiver includes a 3.5 mm headphone jack for monitoring, and a 6-step adjustable output gain control for optimizing audio levels with your camera.

Line-In Auxiliary Input

For extra flexibility, the transmitter allows for the connection of line-level audio devices via the 3.5 mm auxiliary input. This input can be connected to the output of an audio mixer, digital recorder or any other line-level source.

Mobile Video Compatible

The PRO-XRe is also compatible with smartphones and tablets out of the box. Easily mount the PRO-XRe receiver to your smartphone with the included Smartphone Mount. A Lightning-to-headphone adapter cable is included for connection to iOS devices. A TRRS output cable is included for other devices with headphone jacks. No special apps are required to use the PRO-XRe’s audio when shooting video on your mobile device.

Smartphone Mount

The included mount uses a spring-loaded clamp to tightly grip down onto almost any smartphone. It can accommodate phone widths from 2.4 in. - 3.3 in., making it compatible with even the largest smartphones (phablets) on the market today. Unlike many other phone mounts, ours is equipped with a cold-shoe slot, allowing you to mount a microphone, wireless receiver, or other accessories. The mount itself is mountable to any tripod or pole via a ¼”-20 threaded hole. Built to last, the mount is all-metal construction and quality tested to withstand over 6,000 pulls.
