In this video I compare the brand new Rode Wireless Go wireless lavalier kit to the Sennheiser XSW-D lav kit. Both are very small and easy to use but they each have their own Pro's and Con's.

Max Yuryev I appreciate your review! I am not sure why people who have channels with no content feel the need to say you were too positive given all the negatives. You stated your case very logically (as you always do) - same underlying technology, lower price, game-set-match. We do professional production for major sports and news organizations - you did not suggest that as a market for either of these systems. I would also suggest that a G3 system is also a “prosumer” piece of gear. I simply cannot understand why an audio engineer would put a high quality shotgun mic on a boom, run a wire down the pole and then degrade the signal by using a wireless transmitter???!

@JohnChoiDigital 5 лет назад

Awesome timing, Max. Was looking at several different wireless mic systems and wanted to get a real world evaluation of the Rode system before making a decision. Thank you!

Bought the XSW after seeing your video and others. Huge problem that no on is talking about. The XSW has super high levels and no adjustment. I IOS which has no internal inputs adjustment for video is almost unusable. Now I’m going to have to buy the go and regressing getting the XSW. I never even considered it would be so over amplified it would not work properly on mobiles.

@HarmLess7 3 года назад

I've got 2 Wireless GOs they're great but I'd never use them through a wall reliably. I've done it for a clap track but never dialogue its super choppy. Sound quality wise its brilliant. Not noiseless and best paired with nice preamps but my H6 is just good enough. I use them as my main mics right now until I can afford better but they're soooooo useful both will be in my bag forever. Clip them to chairs, get Foley tuck it into a sock, small enough to put on kids and hides anywhere. The built in mic is also very useable. If you can get G4s get G4s but Wireless Gos are an absolute gem for sound recordists.

Great review Max. The Rode looks amazingly convenient! I recently bought the Sennhesier G4 EW512 wireless setup. But as soon as this Rode mic was announced I put a preorder it as a second option. Keen to test this as a wireless boom setup with the Rode VMP and in case the G4 ever has issues on a shoot. Or like you say, switching quickly to other talent would be great! Such a great little unit Rode, might have to get a second one if it all tests out nicely! :D

Very very minimal differences. I believe it was how he had the WG clipped to his shirt but I believe the lav is simply to "look" better. The device itself pulls the shirt too much but its cool to know you can use just the system if a lav is forgotten ect. Rode Killed it

@GavinSeim 5 лет назад

Bought the Sennheiser when it came and the the lack of gain is crazy. Even on the Sony you have to drop the camera level internally as low as it will go to avoid clipping. It's ridiculous. Forget about it if shooting on a phone. I already ordered the Wireless Go.

you can get the senn mic with an XLR adapter. This allows you to turn your boom mic into a wirelesss setup. This is an amazing combo for filmmakers and interview set ups that want something better than a 3.5mm mic.

I have the smartLav+ and searching for extension cables cos feeding it to Canon M50 from a long distance always result noisy buzzing, regardless unshielded or recently tried the only “shielded” cable found on Amazon.

@budgetsmartgear1167 4 года назад

Hey Max thanks for another very informative video. The Sennheiser is really a no fuss approach to a lav system. You plug it, set the level on cam and are good to go. The sound of the ME2 II is pro quality (equivalent to 500$ cine lavs). The range and trasmission of the Sennheiser is amazing (walls, distance, people turning and moving and running). Realy for the price you get a Sennheiser (= pro audio reliable gear). The RØDE Wireless GO is a nice little prosumer device and as such it sound clean but tiny and nowhere near pro level lav. The transmission is apparently very bad and basically if you have a talent moving on set or even turning away from you it cuts and I don't even want to imagine it behind walls or at distance. It is basically a vlogging equipement and as such it is pretty fine. That is if you are 5 feet max and facing ur cam.

@whoyoum 4 года назад

Great video and very informative! I`ve got this system, it is really convenient but I came across some issue. While transmitter is charging via usb cable that came with it it will turn On by itself and stays On when unplugged. Have you had this issue with your mic? Thank you.

@D_L_J_83 4 года назад

Hi Max! Could you compare the reliability of the connection of these 2? I’m considering these 2 systems and the ability to adjust the gain isn’t important to me since I’ll be using it to transmit to a recorder. I need connection reliability when the transmitter is BEHIND the talent (like clipped on your belt) because when I would shoot wider shots I need to hide the transmitter.

@therenderer4726 5 лет назад

Hi Max, have you done any in the field tests on these? I am concerned about open space with no line of sight. I have watched the cheaper wireless systems using 2.4ghz which has intermittent issues in open space and devices are not facing each other. This may create an issue if people are walking or objects are in between the subject and the camera, and it starts to affect the audio? Any thoughts on that?
