Rode's new wireless mic has 32-bit float audio recording

Rode has some new wireless microphones, the Wireless Pro. There's nothing particularly amazing about them if you discount the fact that the entire concept of a wireless microphone is fucking magic, but these new ones have 32-bit float recording. If you're unfamiliar with 32-bit audio, it's kinda amazing. Normally you'd have to set the gain on a mic prior to recording and if it's too high or too low, you've fucked it and it's tough or impossible to fix later. With 32-bit recording, there's so much dynamic range in the recording that if you do set the gain incorrectly, it's easy to normalise later. This video from Rode explains it well. It's not exclusive to Rode, other audio recorders from Zoom and Tascam support 32-bit float audio too, but this is the first Rode product to have it.
