Rode Wireless ME TX Ultra-Compact Wireless Transmitter with SC17 USB-C to USB-C Cable for Modern Computers and Tablets

The Rode Wireless ME TX USB-C Bundle: Wireless Voice Straight Into a Modern Computer

This bundle is built for the creator who records on a USB-C laptop, tablet, or RodeCaster console and needs broadcast-clean wireless voice without a receiver box, a tangle of wired lavs, or a dongle hunt for a missing USB-A port. The Rode Wireless ME TX is the hero - a 1.1 oz (32 g) Series IV transmitter with a built-in omnidirectional condenser capsule that clips to a collar and disappears on camera. The included Rode SC17 is the 5-foot flat USB-C to USB-C cable that connects USB-C Rode gear to the USB-C ports on modern Macs, Windows ultrabooks, and USB-C tablets - the ports those machines actually have. Clip on, plug in, and record professional wireless audio in one purchase, with nothing left to source.

GainAssist Auto-Leveling Keeps Every Take Usable

The Wireless ME TX runs Rode's intelligent GainAssist, which monitors the input and adjusts gain in real time. When a subject leans into the capsule or raises their voice, GainAssist catches the level before it clips; when they drop to a whisper, it brings the signal back up to a usable level. For solo creators and one-person crews who cannot ride a fader mid-shot, this is the difference between an edit-ready take and a ruined one. The transmitter captures the subject through its own pre-polarized condenser capsule, so there is no separate wired lavalier to clip, conceal, and route - the mic is the transmitter.

Series IV 2.4 GHz Encrypted Audio With 328 ft of Range

The ME TX transmits over Rode's Series IV 2.4 GHz digital protocol with 128-bit encryption, which holds a clean link in the RF-dense rooms where consumer wireless drops out - convention floors, wedding receptions, busy city streets. The 328 ft (100 m) line-of-sight range covers across-room interviews and outdoor captures, and the link carries 24-bit/48 kHz broadcast-quality audio straight to any Rode Series IV receiver. The transmitter auto-pairs on power-on, so there are no frequency menus to scroll - power up and it finds its receiver.

The SC17 Cable Solves the USB-A Problem on Modern Machines

Rode USB-C microphones and the RodeCaster consoles ship with a USB-C to USB-A cable, but modern Macs, Windows ultrabooks, and USB-C tablets do not have a USB-A port to plug it into. The included Rode SC17 is the fix: a 5-foot (1.5 m) flat USB-C to USB-C cable, Hi-Speed USB 2.0 certified, with EMI and RFI shielding through the run so monitors, Wi-Fi routers, and LED lighting do not inject noise into the signal. The flat tangle-resistant profile lies clean on the desktop, and reinforced connectors survive daily plug-and-unplug cycles. No adapter, no dongle, no hunting for a USB-A port that the machine does not have.

A Roving Wireless Channel for Your RodeCaster Console

The ME TX is not only a camera transmitter - it drops straight into the onboard wireless receiver of a RodeCaster Duo or Pro II as a roving wireless channel, and the SC17 connects that console to a USB-C computer for streaming and recording. A podcast host can hand the transmitter to a roving guest, an interviewer can mic a subject across the table, and a streamer can move freely on camera while the console handles the mix. The combination turns a desk-bound production setup into one that follows the talent.

Who This Wireless USB-C Bundle Is For

For the mobile journalist and field reporter who shoots and edits on a USB-C laptop, this is the wireless channel that records edit-ready audio with no receiver box to carry. For the content creator and podcaster running a RodeCaster on a modern computer, the SC17 closes the USB-C gap their machine created. For the wedding and event videographer working RF-dense venues, the encrypted Series IV link holds where consumer wireless fails. And for the first-time buyer who just upgraded to a USB-C-only machine and discovered the supplied cable does not fit, this is the one purchase that lands them recording. Clip on. Plug in. Record.
