Rode Wireless GO II Reviews

Great wireless microphones... though iPhone users need the Rode USB cable.

I needed to get hold of these Rode mics for some unexpected light video work with two local radio presenters and journalists at a boat festival in Scotland. The video was played from a laptop, into a Midas M32 and then into a video mixer to a large 4 x 2.5m LED video wall.

Turnaround of videos had to be very quick, so ultimately we decided to buy a set of these so we could edit things quickly using iMovie and export the footage fast, taking laptop computers completely out of the equation when it came to editing.

This device has lots of features including separating the audio to two separate streams on L & R, so you can adjust volume levels independently on the desk. Very handy, so we could apply compression as we needed to each channel.

The only difficulty for iPhone users is the lightning port. You need to purchase the rather pricey USB to lightning cable. Using a USB-C to lightning adapter won't work with the iPhone 14. An adapter may well work with the iPhone 15, but you'll have to do your research.

Go ahead and buy this one

This is one of the most satisfy reasonable price wireless microphone. It’s utilized for any occasion.

ok als je geen andere microfoons nabij hebt

over het algemeen waar voor zijn geld - de audiokwaliteit is ok, en het is een handig toestelletje. de meegeleverde software is handig om de toestelletjes in te stellen, maar is ook nodig om aan de opslag van de zendertjes te kunnen. het is jammer dat je niet gewoon via de browser van je laptop aan de opnames kunt.

maar het signaal verstoort de opname van bedrade microfoons in de buurt! als je dus een tweede microfoon met kabel gebruikt, komt er een vreselijk storende ruis op het signaal van deze laatste. ook als dat de microfoon van je zoom of tascam recorder is dus!

al bij al geen toestel voor professionals, maar prima voor amateurs.

Fantastic Mics for travel vlogs

Bought these for making some travel videos which required me to occasionally move away from the camera, or stand behind it. Picks up my voice really well and saves a back-up version on the transmitter just in case. Never had any issues!

Miniature In Size - Maximum In Features (Almost!)

The Rode 2 system is rich in features and very versatile. In addition, if the recordings last for seven hours - presumably with the same 'stamina' of the battery charge then it's Goliath equipment with amazing miniaturisation - but I haven't needed it for this long so is an untested feature. Why the 'almost'? Well for maximum versatility it has a 3.5mm miniature jack for the receiver output - and XLR is catered for with the adapter accessory. Unfortunately it is not possible to convert the 3.5mm mini jack with a 6.35mm jack - a common input connector to many small amplifiers. The usual adapter won't work for some reason. And you can't find any help in the cursory manual, neither online or on any of their videos. This renders a small section of your sound gear redundant. So you have to move away from Rode to other manufacturers. Shame.

Great

Great system. Can even be used in live sound.

Works immediately out of the box

Had to charge all three devices immediately. No real instructions are included, but they are not really necessary.

The audio quality is great for the price, as usual with Rode.

As wit all Rode devices, do make sure you register with them for the extended Warranty.

Perfect wireless microphone

Perfect little microphone set for wireless use in video production, live streaming and such. NOT FOR LIVE PERFORMANCES IN CONCERTS BY NO MEANS :D

The range is good. So far never had any connectivity issues.

What could be better is volume controls as it works in three stages so not very accurate control but that is nothing what cannot be fixed in camera, computer or editing.

Good for interviews or for placing in spots to keep it invisible and pick sound.

You can connect lavs or any 3.5mm mic for that matter if you have anything better than default mics.

Better than gen1 version as it comes with one reciever and two mics which are split L/R sides when using both.

Excellent vfm

Combined with rode lav mic it makes an excellent choice

Good for the price

Very nice features for the small price. They sound good and work well but there are also some glitches with the software and we had trouble connecting them with each other after firmware upgrade. Also the software for unloading the files needs big improvements in order to not be irritating as it is now. Overall these mics are good for their price but you should be careful when using them for paid jobs.

Very buggy

Very buggy wireless system. If you use rode go lavaliers along with the pad option in its software, it will introduce high and low frequency noise which is not present whan the pad option is not selected. The software and the way the units are calibrated is clunky at best. Prone to intereference as well but its software implemantation is its major pain.

Great, even for stage!

We use these in our outdoor show as wireless microphones instead of lavalier mics because we constantly need to change costumes, and we don't like the mess that cables create. The Wireless GO has a great built-in mic that does the job perfectly. There are settings on the devices to adjust input volume, and you can mute the mic by the click of a button, which is really useful. And it's great that you only need on receiver for both mics.

Rode Wireless GO II

Great for the price. Working well, compact, light and budget.

I am recommending.

good overalll quality

a real piece of tech

Wireless GO is the way to GO

Very happy with this system. Idiot-proof and it makes a beginner in sound seem like a pro. Very easy to use and good quality.

Great wireless option

Small, easy to use, convenient with great latency!

A dream come true

I went with those and they re just awesome! Rode is still releasing new features, also for the app. Solid sound quality, also with the lavs. Gain output could be a bit higher but its ok. I love them. Super reliable. I had expensive Sennheiser and other stuff before and hated them. These tiny ones are just.. super cute and work like a charm.

Super quality and easy to use device

This product is very excellent and easy to use. I use on my Full format Nikon Camera, Sony HD Cam, and I use it for audio recording. I love it and I keep recommending to people who need such device.

The only thing I wish included were: Start/Stop recording on the mics. Right now it records the moment it starts. Otherwise, this is amazing product.

Best bang for the buck for interviews

These are perfect for 2 person interviews not only can you split the channels separately and then edit as needed afterwords but you can also record internally at 24bit. Must have

Great little Wireless Mics

By far not necessarily considered "Pro" equipment but if you just need x2 extra lavs mics that are super quick to put on talent for simple moving or static camera interviews these are a bargain and sound really good.

Software is buggy however on Windows 10 for me.
