I would love it if pressing the Marker button on the receiver, the transmitter's internal recording will create a new track. This is useful for separating tracks with each recorded take. It would also be useful to set the filename of the internally recorded files.
I would love to be able to adjust the level of the safety track to more like -10db (or perhaps programmable to any value?) than the current -20. While I understand the value of the current setting, in my workflow, mostly studio face to camera, the safety track would be more beneficial just a bit under the main track. Cheers for the video - this is a great product.
So grateful to learn of the wireless boom feature here! Already own the VideoMic NTG so just watching the video has instantly upgraded my setup to be much neater and less hassle!
i am so happy i bought the wireless go 2 & the video mic ntg as a video creator on social , with these 2 i don’t need to worry about audio in different situations and my audio section is good with no worries.
Please add transmitter identification to Windows RODE Central application. If both transmitters are connected, it is difficult to distinguish which is which. Color coding, name or serial number in the left tab will by useful .
I try Rode Go 2 at a wedding this weekend and one of them failed. I guess the transmitter was too far away when it was turned on and it turn itself after a few mins I guess. I had it set for backup and not record all the time. I learn my lesson. Leave it set to record all the time.
I use this product specifically for live-streaming, and normally connect the audio from USB-C to USB. It would be nice if the gain adjustment affected the output via USB-C as well as the 3.5mm. Currently, the gain adjustment only affects using 3.5 mm output. Personally, I have found it to be very useful to use USB-C output on the transmitter versus the 3.5 mm output.
I use this with my iPad Pro for streaming business via usb C since the RW2 came out, I wish I could have the option of adjusting the volume apart from that ❤️ these I have 2 sets. Thanks team
We still need to access the recording files from the ios app, either ipad or iphone, most of use use these on the go. Another suggestion is to have a setting where the receiver is registering input from the camera and when a video recording happens to trigger a new sound recording on the transmitter . I know we have markers, but this would make managing files much easier and would be a gamechanger feature.
I totally agree about accessing the files on an iPad. Getting my files off the microphones and updating them are literally the only thing I still need a computer for… 😢
Would love to be able to control each recorders output independently. Right now we have to mute one recorder that we may not be using at that time, toasts. Place markers at the start of each session, toasts, easier to match up later
SUGGESTION: "Standby mode" with ultra low battery usage (that can be configured in an app or program after what time receiver and transmitters to go standby - SEPARATELY CONFIGURABLE! ). In addition to that, via 3,5mm jack, receiver should be able to receive a signal from camera when it start recording and to wake the receiver and transmitters from standby and start recording immediately. IT WOULD BE SO BENEFICIAL.
I would like to connect the transmitter with 3.5mm cable to the camera like a pass through with one capsule. Super compact would make it suitable for vlog.
Quería pedirles que por favor pusieran los subtítulos en español para todos los latinos que tengamos los micrófonos de RODÉ podamos aprender sobre los mismos muchas gracias y quiero decirles que uso sus productos y me encantan se cuidan eeee
Great video! I I just recently purchased the kit from Sweet water to use for my live stream productions / RU-vid show. Post edit quality was good from unit. I’m going to re-watch this video as mobile app will really help. One item I would like to see - I did plug receiver into an ATEM Mini, the only issue i have seen pushing the gain for volume control. A talk on best practices with ATEM would be good.
Hey there, make sure you're using a SC15 or SC19 cable. If it's still not working, chat to our friendly support team here for more help: rode.com/en/support/contact
I have just discovered after great frustration that you cannot mute individual transmitters in merged mode while they are set to always record. You need to set them to backup or off. Works fine in split but then you only have left and right channels which is useless for streaming. Selected recording delete would be good too.
@@Giorginho If you have the transmitters set to "Always Record" you can't mute individual transmitters. It will show that they are muted but audio will still come through. You need to set them to either Backup or off. When you need to use them as stand alone recorders, you can set them back to "always record" This is only when in merged mode. I have told Rode about this but I don't think they know what I'm talking about.
It would be great if the transmitter/microphone has a small speaker that will give a small chirp or beep when you turn it on and sounds again before powering off. I use these microphones as standalones only and I've had it happen many times that the microphone I'm wearing has powered off somewhere in the middle of my recording. If I hear the beep instead of having to look if the light is still on would be a huge plus! Also it would be great to have gain control on the transmitter itself with two dedicated buttons (+ and -) with a small LCD that shows the value for 3 seconds when pressing the + or - button. These would be for a newer model obviously since firmware updates cannot help the device grow new buttons.
Hello. Please add the ability to remotely enable recording of transmitters from the receiver in the next updates. This will be a very useful feature that will help save space.
Why no mention of upgrades to the original Rode Wireless Go? Doesn't this say more about Rode as a company, by abandoning the customers who supported Rode with the original purchase?
"abandoning the customers who supported Rode with the original purchase?" they did not.. they took the money they made from that and created the Go 2, which gives users better functionality....
Any chance of a firmware update to control the recording on the TX's? A lot of wasted recordings to go through to find the actual pieces required. Only option is either always on or Backup which starts recording when the RX is turned on yet we may not start recording immediately... Should be an option to press the power button twice to start recording and press twice again to turn off?
Is it possible to use one transmitter as a backup? For example one transmitter is connected to a Lavalier and the other transmitter is connected to a Boom, so if one of them fail, the other file is there.
Loving these new Rode items! I have 2 suggestions for the Rode wireless go II. 1. I want to carry only the 2 transmitters, with Always Record set, to carry around for stereo field recording. Can there be a way to sync them together later so I have a stereo field recording? 2. Can there be a way to use the indicator light on the transmitter to indicate when a transmitter is recording? (Maybe if the lights are color changing LEDs)
Feature request: separate gain control per transmitter. Use case: one receiver records a guitar amplifier and another receiver records the voice of the guitar player.
Hey there! This is currently possible using RØDE Central. 😊 You can learn more here: rode.com/en/user-guides/wireless-go-ii#:~:text=can%20be%20applied.-,Fine%20Gain%20Control,-R%C3%98DE%20Central%20gives
I did not know, that the Transmitters can also store recordings! I'm so stunned because I just bought them and this is such a cool feature! Wow, what's wrong with you, Rode?
I still miss a battery indicator on the wireless go 2. De transmitter has 2 blinking blue light when turned on. It would be nice to see that one of the led change color when the battery level change. Something like: blue fully charged. Orange 50% en red 10%. That's nice because when you just use the transmitter for example recording a voice over, you don't have to connect it first to see the battery level.
I'm waiting for a rodelink update. With wireless go II functionalities, more compact transmitters and dual channel receiver, screw-on mini jacks, XLR plug, wireless microphone and multiple powering options (NP-F/NP-F to dual AA adapter/USB-C).
It really depends on what you are recording, we'd suggest checking out this video which comprehensively covers how you might unlock the settings to suit your recording needs here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ewl-_rzIehk.html
Unless I'm wrong, or late to the table, you need a Rode USB-Lightning cable to connect the Rode Mobile app to the receiver. This, in my humble opinion, is a travesty. Don't be like DJI, GoPro and others in requiring your faithful customers to buy proprietary hardware from you to make your products work as they should! My second point would have to be, if there are two versions of audio quality available; "Broadcast" and "Compressed", why then would the compressed mode be, as you say, able to deliver a "broadcast quality in this mode"? Hmmm? I'm not trying to nitpik here, but these are issues that bother me. I love my Wireless Go ll mics, and I SO appreciate Rode's rocking updates on this extremely good hardware, but seriously, these issues need to be addressed. I spent good money on a great data USB-Lightning cable that I won't get back because there was no mention anywhere about needing a proprietary cable to use the app. Otherwise, I'm super happy with these mics!
RODE W2 don't transmit L and R by computer for danvici record. because of it combine together with virtual output, no option for transmit both by 2 virtual channel
My mics distort at the transmitter and you cannot change the gain. In order to prevent distortion at a talking volume the mic has to be 3-4 feet away. Defeats the purpose of lav to me.
Hey Christian, sounds like something might be going wrong here. Reach out to our Service Team and we can help step you through it ☺️ rode.com/en/support/contact
If the receiver gets lost, is it at all possible to pair the transmitter to the 2.4wifi of a laptop to still record wirelessly? At the 2:50 chapter about Rode Connect I wasn't sure how to interpret what's been done & presented there. Cheers! =)
Hey there DShack, that's a great question as the technology in a 2.4GHz WiFi device and the Wireless GO II are similar in some ways. However, the only way to use RØDE Series IV transmitters is with RØDE Series IV recievers, which can be found in the Wireless GO II, the Wireless ME, the Wireless PRO, the Streamer X, the RØDECaster Pro II, and the RØDECaster Duo. Note that these devices can use two transmitters at one time, except the Streamer X, which can only use one.
Is there a way to request if the iPad could have an app where it can transfer the audio files? I use an iPad Pro 2020, and I edit most of my videos using LumaFusion. It would be amazing if the transmitter had the ability to transfer the audio file to the iPad so that we could edit the file right after an event.
Hy team, I bought wireless go 2 and I recorded a video yesterday with only one transmeter (myself) and when I am listening the video it only plays on one side of my airpods. Why I can’t hear this in both Airpods? how to fix this? If you are reading this, please do reply :)
Hey there Harpreet, we'd suggest checking that you're recording in merged mode not split mode in RØDE Central. If you are in merged mode, you should have no issues hearing it through both sides 😊
I just learned the output is microphone level, even at 0 dB setting. So it attenuates the DAC output, then you need a mic preamp to get good level in a field recorder. I don't get the reason they did this. At least there should be an option for line level output on the receiver.
I love it 💚 The 32 bit float has already saved my audio on a project. It really works as such a cute field tiny recorder. I'm excited to try it with an ntg mic as a wireless boom. And can't wait for Colors 2
I wish the safety track would directly be recorded in the transmitter and still be able to do split mode. Plus the ability to get the audio files without needing the Rode Central app. This is important when working with an editor on the fly e.g. Same day edit during a wedding. Also, fyi the Rode Central app and desktop app keeps crashing.
Does anyone have recommendations on how I can stop getting feedback from one of my Rode Mic Go II's? One works wonderfully, with clear and crisp audio, but the other mic seems to have a constant ringing feedback sound, and I'm trying to see if there are firmware updates, or any other links I can check out where I can have this problem fixed:). Thank you to anyone for help on this!
I bought my wireless Go 2 a cople years ag and one of the transmitters always give audio that clicks and pops so Ive always had to use the onboard recording. Its annoying. Next time I will get the DJI lav mics
We'd suggest reaching out to our Service Team if you're hearing unwanted artefacts in your recordings and they'll be able to help you get to the bottom of it: rode.com/contact
Thank you! I was wondering if there's a way to connect the transmitter to XLR, meaning to record live show through the sound guy mixer. Usually people do that using a Zoom device...
@@rodemic Thank you! The thing is... I want to connect only the Rode transmitter to an adapter, and than the adapter to the sound men's mixer, so the Rode transmitter can record a live concert from the sound men's mixer regardless to the Rode receiver. Like you can do with a Zoom device. Rode adapter is a male adapter, and I think that's mean it can only let out information, and NOT get information from a mixer device. So I'm not sure the adapter will work because it is built to let out info, and not let in info. What do you guys think and suggest?
It would be great if you did a plastic stick on cold shoe (camera style) mount so Motorcyclists could stick the TX onto their helmets right now the dodgy clip is all we get not good for motorbike riders. I would also like to see a small hole drilled in the clip so you could place a safety line through it. Right mow if it drops off my helmet its gone! Maybe a short lead Lavalier mic too as if we try them the cable is always hard to hide in a helmet. There you go you did ask LOL
Thanks for the suggestion, we can look at this for future iterations! It does sound like a lavalier mic option would be better suited to your setup without the risk of popping off mid-ride (with any sort of mounting system). Of course if you're finding the cable a bit too long you can loop the cord and tuck it away, but we will pass on the idea of a shorter cable onto the product team 😊
This depends on proximity to the subject you're recording, so we'd suggest setting the gain dial somewhere around 10 and checking your levels on the Wireless GO II receiver unit, then adjusting your gain to ensure you've got sufficient gain without hitting the red on the levels indicator.
Yes, you will need to use the SC15 or SC19 cables which are Apple-certified Lightning Accessory Cables in order to connect the RØDE Wireless GO II to an iPhone.
Excuse my ignorance and lack of searching. I My question is, what are the differences between the Go and Go2? Is it simply the amount of recover/transmitters? Or is there a difference in the actual spec’s? Sorry apart from the on board recording features. maybe Im just being silly here??
A good question! The Wireless GO II and original Wireless GO share the same compact form factor, unique cold shoe clip, in-built microphone, and easy-to-use design. However, the Wireless GO II is a dual channel wireless microphone system, which consists of two transmitters and a single receiver. It also offers an extensive feature set that makes it extremely versatile, including both an analog 3.5mm TRS output for plugging into cameras and a digital audio output via USB for plugging into smartphones, tablets and computers, on-board recording, 200m range with improved transmission stability, flexible gain controls, safety channel, complete control over all features and functions via RØDE Central, and much more.
I purchased the wireless go ii but I only got 1 receiver and 1 mic because that’s all I need right now. Is there a way to purchase just a mic from rode? I can’t find them so singularly anywhere.
Hey there, if you're after the dual set and purchased a single transmitter set, we'd suggest returning it (if able) and buying the dual transmitter set instead, as we don't sell the transmitter units separately.
I am confused as I am not seeing any recordings on my phone that are supposed to be saved and I notice it records into my camera but cant get it off as its own recording even if the camera is off. My rode app isn't showing remote access form the phone. How can I connect with someone to talk about this? I would love to use this to its full capcatiy.
There’s no way to have two separate sets of levels for onboard and in-camera, however you can activate the safety channel to ensure you don’t run into any clipping, check out how it works here: rode.com/en/user-guides/wireless-go-ii/using-rode-central#:~:text=Always%27%20recording%20mode.-,Safety%20Channel,-R%C3%98DE%20Central%20allows
Whats annoying is that I cant put by phone on my gimble with the receiver plugged in because its too heavy! I need Rode to come out with a direct connection so there is a way to balance the gimbal.
