Wireless PRO: Your FAQs Answered 

$399 is their magic price for their products. They did the same thing with the Film maker kit years ago in 2017. To do that again with two lavs with 32 Bit float is an incredible feat. This is the upgrade to the original Film Maker Kit that we’ve been looking for for years. I will be purchasing. Great job Rode team!

For all the features and accessories you get this is a really great deal! Only small downside for me: As much as I love Rode products the size of the Logos on the devices sometimes gets a bit out of hand. But great product!

Love this transparency and answering all these great questions - thanks Rode!

Appreciate the Q&A session. Mine is already pre-ordered and I'm looking forward to receiving my unit. If the team is looking for video ideas I would suggest demoing the 32-bit float in action. I'm glad all those accessories are included and a fine cleaning cloth too.

Thanks for the update. Disappointed that you cannot jam the receiver from other timecode systems. That’s kinda removes the word “pro” in the timecode instance of the product. The rest seems really good. Look forward to testing. I love supporting Rode as Australian company.

Thank you for being proactive and answering questions before the Wireless PRO is released. This really helps me start out of the gate running when I get the Wireless PRO. More manufacturers should create videos like this for their products. Thank you, RODE.

Never saw a brand that dedicated to their users. Long time user here (2012?) and I just want to thank you for your dedication to create awesome tools for content creators filmakers… You change the industry

THANK YOU! I want to start a small RU-vid Channel with a friend. (Interviewing, Podcasting, Reports, Vlogging) We don't have the Budget or space to store Big Wireless Microphone systems. So i searched for weeks. But never found what i needed. Now THIS is perfect! It's everything we wanted + more + it's affordable for everyone. I said it already but will say it again. Thank You Rode, you guys are AMAZING!!

Preordered mine on the 22nd from B&H. Can't wait to see that shipping email in my inbox!

Absolutely fantastic work on this video. Truly awesome job on answering important questions for the customers. Also I want to point out that Rode has an amazing customer service. The warranty on their products are beyond fair. I’m definitely investing in this new wireless system.

I can't wait for the Pro units. I have loved using three sets of wireless Go II's. Thank you Rode.

Love this video, thanks for going over detailed (and somewhat esoteric) questions! I know it doesn't support this at launch, but I'd love to see a ""Timecode Mode 6" that outputs only the timecode on the right channel and the headset mic on the left channel. In combination with the right cable, it would allow a VideoMic to act as a "headset mic" and have that recorded, along with timecode, to the camera via the stereo headphone out channels, while still keeping the Wireless PRO recordings via their internal backup recording, resulting in "3 channel audio" for one camera!

A company actually answering PPL questions .... I appreciate it ...

Thanks, sounds fantastic. Although I already own 2 Rode Lavs. Guess I’ll pass them down to my wife and her channel!

399 is an amazing value holy moly

Hey, that sounds really great, almost all wishes come true. I would have had one more wish, exchangeable batteries, but that is probably due to the ultra-compact design. When I had a long day of shooting, I simply had a second set of wireless go II in order to be able to exchange it quickly when the batteries are running low. A big compliment to your developers and to the whole team at rode for your good innovative work! You listened to the wishes of the users and implemented them magnificently.

Is there a way to sync two of these systems together? I’ll give you an example. I shot golf videos and there are usually four players and two cameras. In this instance we need four mics. If we put WGP on each player and the receivers on the cameras, can they by synced together?

I’d love for an OFX plug-in for resolve for example, so instead of having to go through the Rode Central app to retrieve audio files, they can be read and imported into the timeline

This was a great session. I have WGo2. The new pro looks great especially with the Full Kit. You know if there is no full kit with the product, the new users will get confused for a while and will take time to get happy with the product. Good move❤

In the next iteration of the Rode wireless pro series, please add the ability to receive external timecode.

Have had Rode Wireless Pro for two days now. Love it. two comments so far: 1, Wish we could have the options to assign file names on each TX, instead of just repeat REC00001,2,3...every time. 2, It is not easy to pull out a unit, either the surface is too slippery, or need to apply force on buttons on the side.

These look awesome and I am looking forward to receiving my pre-order. Is there an icon on the receiver's screen that indicates if the transmitter is using the built-in mic or if it has a lav plugged in?

This all looks pretty good. Few misses here and there such as the jamming of other timecode systems, but also, the fact that the clip of the wireless go should have been made of metal so that you can use a magnet to attach it without having to ad the metal plate to it. It's so frustrating when you wanna use the Interview Go attachment, that it doesn't fit in the mount without having to take off the metal piece. Also whats the story with the built in mic of the go's. They always used to be way too sensitive. Has that been addressed on the Rode wireless Pro?

Definitely will be getting them when they become available!

It’s insane that this is only 399$ for everything it comes with! I’m so glad I pre ordered this

Awesome video, thanks!

I’ll be picking this up for the rodecaster pro II!

I have multiple Rode products (mics, wireless Go 2, RCP 2, accessories), and it's only thr second time ever that Rode has got the pricing spon on (not more, not less) for their product. The first time was with the Podmic, and the Wireless Pro is the other one. Good Job Rode 👏 👍. Please add the ability to receive timecode in the next version of the wireless pro.

Is there possibility to use wireless headphones for monitoring and if not, could it be something that could be enabled with future firmware updates?

Can you sync multiple rode wireless pro sets? And will there be accessories to seperate the channels of the reciever output and adapt to xlr?

This is awesome! I was having an issue where I was getting an interference buzzing noise when mounting directly to the top of my cameras hot shoe. This was the GO II, but it did still happen with a few other brands versions I tested. I did manage to fix it buy either mounting it more to the side or using ferrite rings on the cable. I know this is more a camera issue, but another brand I use released a revision to their wireless system that fixed this to me.

Thanks for answering my questions (multiple ADCs for genuine 32 bit float/wide dynamic range and, sadly, no the receiver can be jammed from another TC source.)

Was very much considering the DJI version of this kit but now I've gotta do some research 😀

Is there a way to jam sync multiple wireless pros?

My first ever Rode device and only do YT as a hobby so overkill but at $399 being such a great deal with everything I just had to buy, especially when compared to go ii.

Great video! Would you be able to Access de audio files directly without the rode central app? Thanks

Thank you for listening to the community rode!

This is a fantastic video. Thank you.

Wow I am realy impressed!!! Keep up the good job! I am planning to pruchase 3 sets of them and I preordered 2 sets already. Already I have 2 sets of GOII's, but the timecode hassel kept me from equiping all of my cameras with those. My question regarding timecode would a be possible to sync muliple PRO recievers as network of recievers. Then this would be THE answer to multicam situations. If this would be possible, I will be the happiest Indy filmmaker a live and I will use them in my next feature film of which we are currently in pre-production.

This is amazing news! Very thoughtful improvements over the GO II that I currently own. This is definitely worth upgrading to. One question: Is it possible to connect the transmitter into an audio mixer to receive sound directly from the mixer?

Will Rode ever come out with a four-channel or higher wireless mic system? That would be great for cases where you have multiple people all involved in a conversation, especially if you have a 3 or 4 cam setup. If you could generate timecode from such a system and jam it into the cameras at the beginning of a long podcast, for example, and jam the timecode into a RodeCaster Pro 2, then you could adjust levels on the fly in that instead and feed the audio in that way while the cameras just record video - and you could use it as a multicam switcher as well for livestreams. Just curious from a production standpoint, because it would make setting up a run-and-gun podcast or one-to-many interview SO much easier. All you'd need, basically, is a laptop, the RodeCaster (or some future version of it), and that wireless mic system. If you combined all the best elements of the Wireless Pro, the Streamer X, the Rodecaster Pro 2, and Rode Central into a single, seamlessly integrated package capable of video switching and four or more audio channels and sold it for $2000-2500, it would be an absolute game-changer. There is a big untapped prosumer market for serious content creation at a small/medium business level for equipment like this between $1000 and $3000 that has not been cracked yet.

Can you describe the nature of the headphone monitoring and whether it will do direct input monitoring from a DAW or APP such as Filmic or Luma Fusion etc. Or is it only designed to monitor the immediate input of the mics themselves?

Would like to see a video on 32-bit float tech and a video demonstration of the time code how to with detailed instruction. Props for a great system I’ll be investing for sure!

Had to pre order. Can't wait for 32bit float!

I definitely want a part 2 of the q and a

(For Me) Excellent Video. And an excellent package.

No mention of the audio recordings - do we still have to use the app to pull them off the Tx units, or are they now straightforward WAV files?

So amazing... especially at under $400. I paid $200 for a single 32 bit float lav recorder that runs off an alkaline battery. To get TWO 32 bit float recorders that are also WIRELESS and recharable, plus TWO high quality mics and all those accessories is mind blowing.

Does the Rode Wireless Pro have any water resistance features? If so, to what extent?

i'd like to know how many systems can be use at the same time before having to worry about interference (regardless of onboard recording).

i get my Rode wireless pro yesterday. I´m so happy

Can I take two audio feeds form the receiver and input the signals into a camera that has two balanced XLR audio inputs or via a hotshoe mount? Thanks

I love your products!! and I just updated my rode wireless II to the Rode wireles pro, but I have two questions: -I would like to know if we can have "noise cancellation" in any update? -Will they launch the "RODE Invisilav Discreet Lavalier Mounting System" accessory? Thanks for your reply 😉

Hi @rodemic regarding the set the Wireless Pro comes in, will there be a package where it doesnt come with the lavalier mics?

Could you give us a non-marketing breakdown of gain assist? Does it work like a proper limiter/maximizer, i.e. it pushes quiet signals up to the set output gain? Or is it more like the dreaded AGC of old, where we can expect loudness fluctuations when activated?

Do the mics/transmitters include a local mute switch? What about remote mute triggered from the receiver?

One quick question. Is it possible to use the 3.5 to XLR adapter with this new Wireless Pro II? For example, you own the Sony FX6 and would like to bring audio through the XLR ports.

Amazing product! One more question: do we require a specific software to offload files from the recorders? And is there a time or size limit on those files?

I can't wait to get my hands on this and test the accuracy of the internal timecode clock in the RX and TX units. Drift occurs not just in the cameras but in any device without an accurate timecode clock. If you have an answer for this, what is the drift frame drop over the course of 24 Hours. This is typically less than 1 frame with any major timecode generator and is also promoted as a headlining feature. Since Rode has never mentioned the drift variance within their own clock, it makes me question its accuracy. I don't want to trash the concept with the Wireless Pro but I really want people to be properly educated on pro features like Timecode. This "drift" concern you're mentioning will cause many upsets in post for majority of the customers who are looking into purchasing the Wireless Pro. This frustration can also cause them to not believe in a legit timecode workflow. TLDR: I think you should advertise this not as a timecode feature or generator at all. I think it should be advertised as a way to effortlessly sync the 32 bit recordings to the users A CAM that has the RX module plugged in.

Can I copy the internal recording from the transmitter directly using usb cable without any apps as it is usb drive?

And, as Rode already have the USB mic such as rode NT1 USB, will it be a possibility that the wireless pro will support USB mic? I just can see the future a USB NT5 pair with something like this to be an Ultra light kit.

Awesome value for money, it sounds like a great system. You mentioned a 3.5mm cable to connect to cameras, will BNC timecode cables be made available for those of us with bigger cinema cameras?

If I buy two or more sets of rode wireless pro, can timecode be synced between all different sets?

Any frequency conflicts by using two sets at the same time? I'd like to record 4 channels, or six, into my Zoom F6. Will multiple Wireless Pro sets in the same space interfere with each other? Have you done testing? Thanks!

Hey Ryan, good stuff here as usual, as a run-gun operator I would really love to be able to monitor my Wireless Pro with a pair of NTH headphones....wirelessly ! .. next release!

I have to say based on what I’ve seen I will definitely be purchasing a set of these. One question though, when I record from my Go 2 version to a 32 bit float recorder do I still get the high dynamic range of 32 bit or does the Go 2 version mean it’s only 24 bit? In other words does the wireless transmitter in the GO2 compress the signal?

Stunning price and everything else sounds great, too!

This product seems promising, i wish there may be two variants, one with these all accessories for the new users and one with only the wireless pro with the case (wireless pro lite) . I have all accessories e.g cables, lavallière mics etc bought with wireless go 2 and do not want to spend money again. This will reduce the price and will not heavy on the pockets for those who is upgrading from wireless go2.

Question: (I know they don’t sell Tx and Rx separately but let’s assume they do) if you had one Tx and two Rx, could you run a two-camera setup this way? Meaning, can two different receivers communicate with one transmitter? This is a very common scenario when interviewing one person at a time. Thanks for whoever answers this question.

Looks awesome! 🔥

Was there an upgrade of the built-in mic compared to the wireless go II ? Or is it the same mic and only everything else what was mentioned was upgraded?

What's the SPL and frequency response range on those mics? They can still clip despite being 32 bit float.

I have (2) Wireless Pro Systems. Two things they should add are these. #1- A way to to Jam Sync Timecode from an external device or at the very least, a way to Sync 2 or more receivers to each other. #2 - A Timecode Mode where Left channel outputs Transmitter 1, Right channel outputs Transmitter 2, and the USB can output or input Timecode. This would make these units infinitely better. I would hope these can be achieved via firmware.

Is the new Wrirelss Pro compatible with the RODE Interview GO Handheld Mic Adapter?

Does the transmitters accept line levels on their 3,5mm inputs? Do the PROs still have that built in High Pass filter (Lo cut) permanently inserted in the 3,5mm mic inputs as the Wireless GO II has?

Just about to buy dji mic even thou i have wireless go 2 .. but looks like you made some good upgrades for the pro .. one question will you update the clip so it not plastic better if it was metal so wouldn’t have to use additional add on ..that the only down side i see … from this new model

Only thing, Rode - if your TX-XLR plug-on transmitter isn't compatible with Wireless PRO, please make a compatible one that can switch between mic level, mic +48V phantom power, and line level, the latter especially for connecting to line level sources at events.

How well does the Rode Pro time code work with the MixPre series, or the Zoom series of portable mixer/recorders

How does the auto turning off & on of the receiver with the camera work?

If I use the camera as an action camera, can I connect it directly to the main body with the USB C cable included with DJI Action 4? Just like the DJI wireless microphone system.

Hopefully this is better than the Rode Wireless ME as I’ve just had a TX fail and also just had to send the Streamer X back due to feedback issues in audio and sync issues using it with the Sony A7iv via Ecamm Live.

just perfct. i have been running the ol Wireless filmmaker and newshooter WL kits for a long time. still works amazingly. but this will be the upgrade! for sure. and the TC sync feature is just perfct! as i have been looking for the best solution for that too an this seems to be it!!

Rode-- is there a slightly cheaper option to buy this without the lav mics? I'd be using professional lavs, so have no use for the stock mics. In order for me to use this product with my XLR cameras/mixers, it looks like I'll need to buy an additional SC11 to split the signal and 2x VXLR Pros.. so it'd be nice to have a cheaper option without the lavs to offset the extra cost.

You guys are next lvl!!!! 😱

Do you have a video for the best settings to use with the iPhone 13 Pro? To be honest, I'm overwhelmed with the settings. How much DB do I set the microphones to with the automatic, do I use the filters or not. I love that there are presets specifically for cameras. Will this also be available for the iPhone?

Great microphones ... ❤️ I only have a quick question. Today I recorded a small short video for social media using the rode wireles PRO , when importing the video file to davinci resolve I realise the video file came with 4 audio tracks ? I was only using one of the transmitters .... Any idea why ? Thank you 👍

Wow. I am speecless. All this sounds simply insane. While I am waiting for mine to arrive, one question: if I plug the receiver into a 32-bit recorder (like my SoundDevices MixPre3 II), can I record in 32-bit? Or is that feat just reserved for the internal recording on the transceivers? Absolutely brilliant job, Rode, bravo! 👏

Will there be a option without lav mics? I already got two rode lavmic

Love that I can jam sync my Zoom M4 using the Rode Wireless Pro and then connect the RWP’s RX into my camera’s mic input using timecode setting 1. Perfect because my camera doesn’t have a dedicated timecode port and I send camera video over HDMI to a Ninja 5+ recorder. Now all of my audio has timecode! Thank you, Rode!!

Wish I would have known this before buying the Go II's last week.

So a possible multicam workflow with these would be to jam sync OUT of the Rode INTO my first master deity TC-1 unit and that unit would carry the rode's timecode to all my TC-1's. Sounds very doable. I wonder how often I'd need to jam sync the TC-1's to the Rode (if at all) after that with this workflow

Is there an upgrade path for those of us with earlier versions (Wireless Go 2 for me) without having to suffer the used gear market and then pay full retail?

Do you have an ipad app? Ive been using the wireless go for my vlogs for years just need to up date it.

Dear @Rode - 3 easy requests to put you at the top: 1) Firmware: Tascam DR-10L Pro records to the same file every 20 seconds in case something happens while recording - please integrate that into the on board recording 2) Firmware: Zoom F3 is the smallest mainstream recorder I know of that gives options for audio quality all the way up to max: Sample Rate: 192 kHz / Bit Depth: 32 Bit / Bit Rate: 12,288 kb/s 3) Additional Product: Quickly fill out the ecosystem by making a small wireless TC device that can be mounted to additional cameras that don't natively support TC (Sony A7S III, etc) & will sync with all of these (ie: like the Deity TC-1, Atomos UltraSync BLUE & ONE, Tentacle Sync E mkII, etc). You guys should have launched that with this, but too late for that.

would the rode wireless pro be able to connect to my Sennhieser mkh 416 as a replacement for my zoom f3 recorder? or would I loose too much quality adapting the cable.

Is Rode tc box coming soon? So we can multi cam.

Does it have a different Microphone Capsule than your previous Models? If not, is it differently tuned?

Can we use the Wireless Pro as a standalone audio recorder? For example, a speaker uses it to record his talk.

Thank you sir for this great video.I have a query. When using the Pro receiver connected with a mixer ,as public address system, can the receiver be charged independently with a separate charger( not in charging box supplied by Rode) . 2) Will there be any interference if it is charged while in such a use ?

This is super dope
