- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 มิ.ย. 2024
- I've had the Rode Wireless Go for over a year now and I thought I would do a follow up video, demonstrating some tips and suggestions to get the best possible sound out of the microphone.
It is a great microphone for interviews, youtube videos and ideal for Vloggers looking to get high quality audio when out and about in urban environments.
It's also a convenient option for corporate interviews and commercial work and now with the addition of the Lav Go accessory you can also get a more subtle look in your recordings by using the lav mic which can be directly plugged into the wireless transmitter.
If you would like to hear a comparison between the Rode Wireless Go and the Smart Lav Plus I have created a video on that topic which you can find here: • Rode Lavalier Go Vs Ro...

Point the mic toward sound source? Revolutionary!
Thanks man, I've always been a bit of a rebel! 👍👊
I feel like I had a pretty straight forward question about the dB levels, but i've watched 5 videos on youtube about it and yours was the only one that answered it, thanks so much!
Great to hear that the video was helpful!
Thank you; you’re one of the first that Ive heard without audio drop outs! And its also apparent that you have experience in ‘ordinary’ acoustics, room acoustics and the propagation of sound in the reverb field as well as the open field! Coupled with your experience of electro acoustics it was a treat to listen to you explain your well defined tips! Grand! I look forward to your next round of tips! 🔉🔊👍😎
Thanks for checking out the video! Glad you found my tips useful. It is amazing how much the acoustics of a room and position of the mic can change the result of the audio so I felt it was really important to go over all that. I have heard of some people talk about drop outs but for me I rarely if ever experienced any problems of that nature using the wireless go.
When you say “basic understanding” it does feel like you are talking directly to me 😉 Appreciated as always 👍
Thanks so much. Glad you found my explanation made sense. Cheers! 👍
That was awesome. I’ve just purchased the GO II (waiting for them to arrive) and your simple explanations actually made some sense to me!
Great to hear that. The VII are great. Enjoy!
Like the detailed explanation - and easy to understand as your voice is very clear and you speak at a good pace - so the topic can be easily absorbed instead of trying to catch up
Thanks so much for the feedback. Greatly appreciated.
Great video! I learnt so much from this, especially as I am just starting out with the whole video recording side of things. I just purchased my Rode WirelessGo today so still learning the features and your video really helped me. Thank you for your time putting this together!
You’re most welcome. So glad to hear it was helpful👍
Nice demonstration on how the position and angle of the microphone affects the sound quality.
Great to hear. Glad you found the info helpful!
Very helpful. Thank you very much.
You're most welcome! Thanks for checking out the video. Cheers!
Excellent review. thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Just the video I was looking for. Nice work!
Great to hear that. Thanks for checking out the video and for the feedback!
Great tips thank you for giving details on audio sound mic positioning, environment settings, gain levels, and frequency interference.
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching!
great examples and detail, thanks!
Thank you so much for a clear, concise and helpful video! Really needed this.
You are very welcome!
I have the rode wireless and that helped me understand it even more! Thank you! 👍
Great to hear! Glad it was helpful!
Excellent and very professional presentation. Thank you.
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!
This is EXACTLY what I needed to find. You are the only vlogger that has explained everything I wanted to know about the RODE WIRELESS GO. Particularly being able to plug a microphone into the GO. Thank you!
Great, thanks so much for checking out the video. Glad you found it helpful!
You prolly dont care but does any of you know a way to get back into an Instagram account?
I somehow lost the password. I would love any tips you can offer me.
@Darwin Idris Instablaster :)
@Andrew Emerson i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Andrew Emerson WTF IT REALLY WORKED! I literally got access to my IG password within roughly 40 minutes of using the site.
Had to pay 15 $ but definitely worth it :)
Thanks so much you really help me out !
Thank you so much sir for your packaged information

Thanks so much. 👍
Great video, thanks for the tips!
Glad it was helpful!
Perfect! Thank you so much. :)
You're welcome!
Great video, i bought my RODE a week ago :) but was not sure whether to use it or not :) thank you WILL USE IT NOW!!!!
Thanks for watching. Great to hear. 👍💯
Amazing video! You are a good educator!
Thank you!
I made a video in Solvang using Rode. I thought my voice would be crisp but I could hear the crowd a lot. This helped a lot
Great, glad it was helpful. Yes you will always pick up some crowd noise and any other noise in the environment. The closer you can put the mic to your subject the less room noise you will hear.
Great tips thanks
You're very welcome!
I just came back from testing my GoPro 10 and the media mode and the Rode wireless go RX, Mic was set at minus 20 db it was so loud and distorted many times on my video making it useless, until I found your video explaining the exact point I needed to clarify,Thank you!
Very help full ... thanks
Most welcome
Great tips thanks mate
You're most welcome. Cheers!
Great, thanks!
You're most welcome!
Nice explaination!!
Thanks so much🙏
Very informative and professional video, nicely done :)
Thanks so much. Greatly appreciated!
Thank you for the wonderful video.....you have a great body language.
Thanks so much. Greatly appreciated!
Why have I just discovered this video now? :-(. Fantastic tips. I am going to put then in practice straight away, thank you. Liked and subscribed, definitely.
Thanks so much. Welcome to the channel!
I just picked one up. It makes a HUGE difference.
Great stuff 👍 yes much better than in-camera audio
@@Touchtechnologyreview I just bought the Rode wireless GO II ..I swear the sound is amazing...so easy to setup too...one buying the 2nd one soon....
This was really good. I"m thinking about getting one of these mics. I'm pretty basic as far as equipment goes (Android phone, DSLR, Shotcut etc.) and I don't know as much about sound as I should (I'm a musician) but this was very helpful. You achieved that lovely balance of engaging a newbie to this stuff and yet gave us some good technical advice. You are easy to relate to and not intimiating even though the subject matter can be. Thank you!
Thanks so much. Really appreciate the feedback! Similar to me really, I come from a musical background and when I first started my channel didn't really put as much effort into my audio as I should have. As you produce more videos you start to hear what works and what doesn't and being aware of the sound of a room and where to put your mic along with what type of mic to use can make a big difference. Editing the audio is also important and I have some more videos on how to edit audio coming up on the channel soon!
@@Touchtechnologyreview that will be cool.
I've just purchased a Rode Wireless Go, so this was a very useful video, thank you!
I'm going to buy the Rode Wireless GO Lapel Microphone primarily because the Rode Wireless Go doesn't sit well at the top of my t-shirt 😊
Yes I find that too. The Go is fine when you are wearing a jacket but not great on T-shirts. I guess that is why I was wearing a vest in this video. I usually go with T-Shirts too.
Very clear explanation! Thank you so much. I bought the Wireless Go II a few weeks ago and didn’t see a gain adjustment for the transmitter. I know the DJI has the level adjustment for the transmitter, so I’m a bit confused.
Yes it can be confusing you might think it should be on the transmitter but the db button is on the receiver unit it is the small round button with db next to it. This is a three-stage pad that cuts your output level in 12dB increments. A single click of the gain control button will allow you to select between high (0dB), medium (-12dB), and low (-24dB) gain settings. The level icon in the middle of the screen indicates which gain setting is selected.
This video was very helpful and I’m definitely going to try some things out but we are trying to do a live TH-cam with the road Mike and I keep getting terrible echoing you have any suggestions on how to prevent the echoing aside from patting my entire room
Yes echo can be a problem if you are in a larger space and have hardwood floors, high ceilings etc. Padding or sound blankets can help out a lot but can be a pain to set up. So for one you can get close to the mic. If you have it at around 7cm to 10cm away you'll reduce a fair bit of that room noise. I use a plugin called deverberate by Acon Software. Amazing! You can reduce echo in post production with this...
Welcome thanks
You're welcome. Cheers!
very nice tips, i just bought a wireless go, thinking to buy smartlav or wireless go lav to increased the audio quality.
Yeah why not. Good to have for when you want to have a more discreet look too.
Thanks so much for this educative demo about how to use Rode Wireless Go II and al the other audio recording tips. I have purchased TASCAM CA-XLR2d-AN XLR Mic Adapter to improve audio recording using Canon R5 and Gh6. Very recently I was shooting an event and I tried to connect my Rode Wireless Go II to the Tascam audio recorder via "Rode VXLR 3.5mm to XLR Adapter". I connected the Rode Wireless Go to INPUT 1 on the Tascam adapter and made sure ATT (attinuation) and Low Cut filters were appropriately selected. However when I tried to monitor the audio with a headset there was no audio coming out from the Tascam adapter. The only thing I could hear was a long hissing sound. My question: Was I doing something wrong with my connections? Your response and recommendation would be grealy appreciated.
You just solved a huge problem I was having with the transmitter and receiver when plugged directly into the camera. The digital buzzing sound was really ruining my audio and I couldnt find any solution to this problem that so many are having. I found out that my Sony A7s3´s Wifi was on and as soon as I switched it off, voila interference gone. 🙏
Great to hear that. 👍 Yeah most times I get any interference at all it has to do with the WiFi if not on the camera any other device that is too close to the receiver unit.
Helpful😍😍
Great, tanks so much for the feedback!
Thanks for great tips. And I like your speakers , what are those and how do you like them. Because I’m shopping for one
You're welcome. Glad you found the video helpful. The speakers are the Event 2020 which I picked up many years ago in the late 90's. These are awesome studio monitors. Probably the closest thing on the market today is something like the Yamaha HS8. You could also consider offerings from Mackie and KRK.....
You had me at the classic event bas 20/20s... ❤
LOL! Love my Event 20/20's.👍
@@Touchtechnologyreview me too. Mine are still going strong since the early 90's when I bought them.
@@djcsr Same 👍
Thank you, this is the most useful, practical review of the Rode Go I've seen.I'm curious, if money was not an issue, what wireless lavalier system would you recommend for the best sound quality?
Thanks so much. Glad you found the video useful! To be honest I haven't really used many other wireless lav systems. However the Rode Filmmaker Kit - RODELink which is double the price is a more robust unit which you could look at. Many friends that I know in the industry also use the Sennheiser EW112P which is very crisp and reliable.
@@Touchtechnologyreview Thank you.
Great tips! You should lay the cable of the Rode lavalier microphone correctly in the holder ;-)
Greetings from Germany...
Yes you are right, you can loop it in but I often let it ride, mostly because I am careful not to move around too much and it's pretty solid anyway. But good point.👍
What settings should I activate to get the best sound quality when I film or record from Samsung s21 ultra phone with rode wireless go ll to get the best sound quality like gain etc?
Thank you for this, it is very helpful. Can I get your opinion/advice on something? I have a short film (a few minutes), that is 2 people in a room. I am looking to get a sound person involved, but I want a backup plan in case it all goes pear shaped. My idea was to use two rode wireless gos, each connected to an iPhone, and capture the dialogue that way (there isn't much dialogue). How do you think that would hold up? And is there any software you would recommend to use on the iPhone to capture that?
Sounds like a great plan. Always a good idea to have a backup. Yes you can connect the Rode Wireless Go to the iPhones. I have a video showing the connection here: th-cam.com/video/Tb3dk6NuNPs/w-d-xo.html As for software use the Rode Reporter App. It is excellent records uncompressed audio has a very simple UI with large Record icon and EQ to monitor the audio. Just do a test first and set the gain on the Rode so that it is not too high to avoid any peaking.
I like the wireless go but had to buy two adapters to link to my iPhone (SC7) and Lavelier smartlav (sc3) to make it work.
Yes, it does need adaptors to get it to work on an iPhone.
hey mate thanks for the info on a few of your videos - looks like your a muscian too - got any links to any of your tunes online?
You're most welcome. Thanks for checking out the videos. I haven't got anything online at the moment. But I should upload to soundcloud. Might do that soon...
HI there.Thanks for you educational video about the WIRELL GO. Just wondering if there is a difference in quality and function of WIRELSS GO ii and Go i. Thanks
I haven't checked out the wireless GO 2 yet. As I understand it has the two transmitter so good for interviews or any video with 2 people. As far as audio quality I thin it uses the same mics. However I am not entirely sure I would like to get my hands on the new version to test it.
Great stuff, coupled with an engaging presentation. You mentioned using an IPad as a Teleprompter, is there additional software required?
Thanks
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed the video. As far as the teleprompters go you can download many from the app store some free others paid. I use one called Teleprompt +.
Thanks for explaining so well certain aspects of this mic. I am struggling to get good sound volume while I use it with an Atem Mini pro as the mic1 input. I did change the setup on the Atem software to Microphone and I still don’t get good volume. Any suggestions?
You are welcome. I am not so sure about the Atem Mini Pro and Why it would have such a low signal. If you have set the Rode to the loudest level and it is still too low then there is nothing more you can do with the rode to make it louder. It's all up to the Atem Mini Pro. Sorry I can't offer more advice there.
Thanks! Great Tips. I have issue when I do poses like seated forward bend with the mic attached on my sport bra. It's like a BIG storm of air in my recording. Do you have any advice for me?
Hi there, yes that could be caused by breath noises hitting the mic direct. A couple of tips to avoid this . First try mounting the mic to the side or even upside down, this can reduce strong plosives and breath noises. Try moving the mic further down, not too far as the further away from your mouth the more echo but try adjusting the position and see if it helps. Finally if you can get a fur deluxe windshield which is designed for outdoors strong windy days. This could also help. Only downside is its kind of large and very obvious on camera.
Great explanation. Thank you. I've got one question. I'm using this on a GO Pro 9. Which of the following input mode should I select?
Standard Mic
Standard Mic+
Powered Mic
Powered Mic+
LineIn
Thanks so much. With the Rode Receiver unit you don't need any power so I think it would be either the Standard Mic or Line in. I would presume the Powered Mic options are for lav microphones that need phantom power to run them.
Hi there, thanks for great tips, and I like your speakers, what are those and how do you like them? Because I’m shopping for one set
These are the event 2020. They are a little old though. Got them in the 90's so not sure the are available anymore.
Thanks for the tips! Does the electrical interference you mentioned show up as a clicking sound? I am having an interference issue that shows up as a clicking sound and have been told it may be because I am on 2.4 vs 5G network. Wondering if it is because the receiver is too close to the iPad that is transmitting a livestream on Zoom over wifi as you mentioned in the video. If what I am experiencing is electrical interference, are you able to recommend a longer cable as I only have the one that came with the mic or details on what I should be looking for if there isn't one to recommend? And if this isn't electrical interference, do you have any ideas on what it is and how to avoid it? Thanks in advance!
Yes I have experienced this only once when I had the receiver about 10cm above the iPad. When i Moved the iPad the noise went away. So You just need a longer 3.5 TRS to 3.5 TRS cable so you can play around with the position and get it away from the source of interference.
in mid-level DB recording volume is too low how can we increase the volume?
Help!!!!
My new Rode Lav + doesn’t pick up any sound and it’s new, just out of the original packaging. I tested on my iPhone, my iPad, and an Android device. Nothing. Any ideas why?
I just got the Comica Boom XD 2 (basically the same concept as this mic) and as of now it has a loud noise floor when I record straight into my iPhone. How can I fix this? Any help is appreciated, thanks for the video!
Hard to say as I haven't tested this unit. It could be inherent in the unit itself. The only other thing that can introduce noise is the cable you use to connect the receiver unit into the phone. If it is the apple original one it should be pretty clean so in that case it points back to the mic unit.....
Helpful. I'm finding the lav mic kinda crap, but the mic stick or speaking directly into the lav mic ok. Changing the db on mine doesn't seem to do anything.
Great to hear that. I would say that if your changes to the DB on the Rode unit are not noticeable then the audio setting on your camera may be set to auto so it just adjusts it up or down to get a good level. I prefer to set my camera audio to manual and lower the level a little for a cleaner sound. Then if I need to I can bump it up a bit in post production.
Loved this video! Is it possible to record environmental sounds with 0 db? I create walking videos and just got the rode wireless 2 . I also have the Zoom h4n. But not sure which one to use for better environmental sound.
Thanks so much. Glad you found the video helpful! Sure you could set it to 0DB and get very decent environmental sound for BRoll footage etc. The wireless Go II has an omnidirectional condenser mic that can record in stereo, so it will pick up sounds in all directions around it and do a great job overall. Since you have the Zoom H4n you can take advantage of the XY microphone which can produce a more focussed sound. You can set it to 90% separation which will provide more focus on a specific sound source in your environment or set it to 120% for a wider pick up that may sound more natural for environmental recordings.
@@Touchtechnologyreview thank you soo much!!
What do you set the db levels too indoors vs. outdoors (and based on the distance between you and the camera)? I am using a canon g7x mark III (and fujifilm xt3 sometimes).
It really is a matter of monitoring it and experimenting depending on the noise floor of your camera or audio recorder. So best thing to do is to set the Rode to the lowest or next level up first. Then adjust the camera or audio recorder up and down until you hear a clean signal with the least amount of noise.
I have not seen any comments regarding using wireless go with a broadcast video camera with XLR input. Of course I understand that you have to use a VXLR + type adapter. Have you ever tried using wireless go with a video camera with XLR input? I thought I read some comment from someone who had problems, I think impedance. It's just strange that no video talks about this.I suppose that it will not be necessary to activate phantom power, because the receiver already carries its own power.
My question is once u record with wireless go on your camera does it automatically go to the camera audio / video or do u still have to edit the audio like if u was to record the audio on your phone and try to match it while editing?
If you connect the wireless Go to the 2.5 audio input of your Camera it records onto the video file. If you record onto an audio recorder then you have to sync in post. For most people who have a 3.5 input on the camera this is the way to go unless its an older camera and the audio signal isn't so good but most modern cameras are 100% fine.
Thanks for this. I'm new to TH-cam; the quarantine "inspired" me to move my boot camp style fitness classes to Facebook Live and TH-cam. Two months ago I had no knowledge of ANYTHING remotely associated with making videos. I've been using the Rode Wireless Go for my classes and usually clip it to the bill of my ball cap or visor. Recently, I've been experimenting with putting the mic on a string around my neck under my shirt. It works pretty well, but I'm a bit concerned about sweat. Any experience in waterproofing the mic? Your video has me thinking about adding a lav mic too. Thanks again!
You're welcome. Great to hear that you have found a way to inspire others during this difficult time. I think the position of the mic in the chest area is certainly going to sound the best. I don't believe the sweat will be too much of an issue as most of the microphone unit is completely enclosed. However there is the microphone at the top and the lapel input that could be vulnerable. I guess you could put a small piece of tape over the lapel input as a precaution, but not much you could do about the microphone area. The lapel mic is great for static shots but you might find having the extra cable and the two piece set up kind of negates the convenience of the wireless go all in one transmitter.
@@Touchtechnologyreview, thank you so much!
Can the mic be used outside for broadcasting to a live audience? That is, can I use it to simply amplify my voice during an outdoor fitness class?
Sure thing. You can plug the receiver unit of the wireless Go into a speaker or mixing desk with the 3.5 audio cable that comes with it, provided that your speaker has a 3.5 TRS audio input.
Thank you very much for this video! I am considering buying this system for my outdoor Taiji lessons. I recently tested one and I experienced a high pitch noise, constantly. It did not matter if I used my Samsung Galaxy or Canon EOS 77D, indoors or outdoors. I heard some other Yoga instructors experienced the same issue. I Googled it but found nothing but great reviews. Do you have any idea what caused this?
I have never experienced any ongoing interference with this set up. The only issue I had was when i had my phone right next to the receiver unit once and the wifi on the phone produced some random interference. When I moved it it went away. So if you tried it in a number of locations and it still made the noise then it could very well be faulty. It really should produce a very clean interference free sound from my experience with it.
@@Touchtechnologyreview Thank you so much. It might be the device then. I watched a lot of reviews and no-one mentioned anything like this.
My wife uses a wireless go linked straight to her Ipad pro for when she zoom's her Pilates classes. Its in a fairly large studio with a high ceiling and hard floors, and she just cannot get rid of the echo. We have some sound proofing boards on the walls but its still quite significant. any tips please. I have a recording of it but didnt want to post publicly on here.
If you want to email me a link to it at info@touchtechnologyreview.com I’ll check it out and let you know what I think.
Thanks for this video...
I’m using audio files from this mic in FCPX (on the lowest DB setting, well positioned to source) and still occasionally have the “hot” distorted problem that seems common with this mic.
Other than EQ-ing, would you also condense the audio? I’m on the verge of sending this mic back to opt for a more expensive boom/shot-gun option. Many thanks
You’re welcome. If you are recording into a DSLR or mirrorless camera by default the audio may be set to auto. This can produce the kind of peaking you are referring to. To avoid this you can put the camera into manual audio and set to a lower level.
@@Touchtechnologyreview that’s great, thank you...I will check this today. Re existing files with the mild distortion etc, would you mind giving me a couple of steps as to how you treat the files - Ie compressing etc?
@@NicholasPaulFranks I have had this happen to me too and once the audio has clipped it really is hard to remove that distorted sound in post production. You are right that a compressor can help a little but it won't really get rid of the distortion at all. You can try some noise reduction and if it is really loud and annoying you can manually level the peaks down. I have created a tutorial on mastering audio on Premiere not final cut but if you do want to check it the same filters are available on Final Cut. It might help out with overall mastering of the audio. You can see that video here: th-cam.com/video/nYDoACOQEQw/w-d-xo.html. Will be producing some new videos on audio production soon.
@@Touchtechnologyreview thanks so much, brilliant.
@@NicholasPaulFranks Anytime. Cheers!
Hi there. I bought the Rode Video Micro when I was in the US earlier this year (before the pandemic). A few months ago, I bought the Rode Wireless GO with Lapel Microphone and last week the VideoMic Pro+. I focus mainly on travel videos outdoors (sometimes I record indoors). I use Adobe Premiere Pro. Can you give me some tips on what I should focus on in the 'Audio' tab of Premiere Pro in post-production to improve the sound quality? Sound is important but I don't want to become bogged down in it. I don't have the luxury of time. I'm a one-man operation.
Sure thing, I created a video on my approach to editing audio using Premiere which you can see here: th-cam.com/video/nYDoACOQEQw/w-d-xo.html . Check it out and feel free to ask if you have any questions.
@@Touchtechnologyreview Thank You! I'll have a look now.
Hello what db should i use on dslr?
Each camera will be different depending on how much noise is present in the signal. For my Canon Eos I tend to go -6db or -12db. Best to test with headphones till you get to the point wheee the line noise is minimal....
Hi John, have you ever made a video or used the Rode Lavalier Lapel Microphone and compared it with other high-end mics or the Rode Smart Lav+ or Rode Lavalier Go? Thank you.
Hi Andrew, actually I have a video on comparing the lav go against the smart lav plus and wireless go. You can check it out here: th-cam.com/video/JlrSTlbHjkM/w-d-xo.html
@@Touchtechnologyreview Yes, I've seen this one, it's great. I was meaning this Rode Lavalier. It's their high-end Lavalier. www.rode.com/microphones/lavalier
Great video. My wireless Go will arrive tomorrow. Thank you for the tips
at about 8:30... why move things, why not just... you know... turn off wifi on the iPad? Will it explode?
I am using Rode Go 2 with Sony a6500. I am facing a problem, when I start recording the audio goes very high for 5 to 10 seconds, then it comes to normal... any idea what's wrong ?
Make sure that you have set the audio recording on the Sony to Manual. and try around -6 to -18 Db. If you have it on auto it can sometimes peak.
Hi, I have a Question, does the rode wireless go Work for OnePlus 7 Pro phone??
Especially during TH-cam Live Stream??
Can you please check & Update??
I haven't had any experience with using the wireless go and a smartphone. I think you could do it to some extent with the right audio adaptor but not 100% sure. Also not sure about interfacing with live streaming software. Anyone else out there with experience in this area fell free to comment!
@@Touchtechnologyreview thank you for your honest reply❤️
Thanks for the video, question ? Im film with Lav go and Wireless Go. I tried to do a video in a grocery store, but i can't hear the other person correctly. Because of social distance. Any suggestions ?
Not quite sure what you mean. Do you have the Lav Go plugged into the wireless Go transmitter?
Yes. I can hear my voice in the video. But i can't hear the other person talking to me. Because of the social distance and lots of noise in the video because it's in grocery store
Wouldn't recording with the Wireless GO into the Zoom H1 defeat the purpose of having the GO? If I am going to sync the audio in post, I could just use a regular lapel mic and plug that into the Zoom H1, right?
Asking because I have the Zoom H1, but for convenience sake I'd much prefer having the audio right inside my video without my having to do any editing.
Yes you are right in terms of convenience thew whole idea of the rode wireless go is that you don't need the h1 or any other audio recorder as you can simply plug the rode receiver into your camera. I brought up the H1 for those who simply can't get good enough audio quality out of the 3.5 input of their camera's. I had a couple of canons in the past that had too much line noise for my liking so I would always use an audio recorder. However if you have a more recent high quality DSLR or mirrorless the line noise should be fine and you certainly don't need to use an audio recorder.
Can Rode Wireless Go receiver be connected to a speaker and used as live voice amplifier in a classroom
?
Yes it can be connected to any mixer or audio device with a 3.5 TS input.
Will these work well to avoid echo? The zoom h6 we are using picks up alot with our 3 person podcast in an echoy room
They don't really cancel out echo as such. However by their nature if you keep the input level low on each one and have them positioned closer to each subject you can minimise the echo. Certainly would be better than just trying to use the Zoom H6 microphone for three people. So the idea is to get one mic on each person as close as possible.
Thank you! Any thoughts on a better option? Shotgun or boom mic perhaps? And recommendations?
I just purchased the rode wireless and my lastest video had lots of echoes and peaking:(. Where do I find -12 for the db setting?
It's on the receiver, the one with the display. On the back there are two buttons one of them has a db next to it. Tap on this to cycle through the DB levels. If you look at the screen there is a triangle wedge that will indicated the three levels you can select.
@@Touchtechnologyreview Thank you.
Un like in Asian countries people use fan or window AC in their video recording room is it useful of fur windshield to reduce the noise?
I purchased two days ago Rode Go?
The windshield is designed to reduce noise from wind outdoors and can also offer some reduction of plosives if speaking directly into the mic which is when you pronounce "p's" and "b's". However I don't think that the use of the windshields would make any difference with AC noise at all.
@@Touchtechnologyreview Thank you 🙏
@@Gotteable You're most welcome.
The human ear can't really tell the difference between 44.1 and 48kHz since both provide enough resolution up to at least 22kHz. Babies can hear up to 20k, but adults usually between 13-17kHz, so it really doesn't make a difference. The real reason to use 48kHz is just cause videos are always done in 48kHz in the industry. It also allows for certain types of post processing like pitch effects since you have a little more resolution.
I encounter two problems with the Rode go device: 1) The wind shield montage with the two tiny clips is not working. You can fix it to the microphone transmitte and for sure you will loose it while recording a client, so forget it. I have put the transmitter deep into an extra fluffy windshield. 2) At (-10 or -8)°C it is visible on a iPhone 12 max pro as headset microphone but when you start recording it is no longer connected. I have changed the cable and dongle and no change. So it is unusable in cold weather.
Thanks for your feedback about these issues. It may be helpful to those considering using it outdoors in wind and in cold climates.
Where were you wearing the microphone when you were outside in a hoodie?
Yes I was.
@@Touchtechnologyreview what I meant is where is the mic located on the hoodie?
Rode should have made a necklace hole so you could sling this Mic around your neck with an adjustable necklace | neck chain etc in summer on a hot day or because the clothing does not work with the microphone.
Good idea.
Regarding using a Zoom H1, why not just plug a lav mic into that and bypass the Rode completely? Don't understand that logic, surely you use a portable recorder OR a radio mic?
You can use any audio recorder to plug the rode receiver into. I have used the H1, H4 and H6 with multiple inputs in the past to rig up mics. If you have a great quality camera then you don't need to use it just plug the rode wireless go receiver straight in. If there is too much line noise in the audio then using a pro audio recorder can help get a better sound.
Can I use this mic for public speaking ?
Yes you could. You just need a speaker that has a 3.5 input to put the receiver into.
It is not so different A to B because you use it right. C outside is phenomenal. How to make people believe that lapel mic makes real difference and it is not so costly considering the tuber wants the pro sound. That RODE thing is so super convinient. All the lapel mics should be like that or even smaller like directly clipable to shirt of course. But note that any cheap lapel system is better than even most expensive camera miking through room which picks all the bounced sound in room. Some people have no idea that it can even be bad sound because they have expensive gear which is supposed to be top notch. But that is the one of the most deceving things in the world.
50$ lapel mic gives better result than 1000$ camera mic because of physics of situation.
Is it me or is the dead cat hard to clip on securely?
Not just you, it is a little tricky.
how can i connect wirelesss go ii transmitters pls advise
Are you referring to the new Wireless GO 2 which has 2 transmitters? Or do you have the original wireless GO?
@@Touchtechnologyreview new wireless go II
You need to plug the receiver into the camera and then speak into the transmitters. If this is not working check the manual about pairing the devices.
@@Touchtechnologyreview thank you
Does the wireless go causes interference when it places close to your Zoom H1?
No issue with the zoom at all. I have recorded into it with the wireless go receiver right next to it and all good👍
Appreciate your reply. I asked it because my H1n couldn’t stay close to any device with wifi. I think its signal interferes a part inside the H1n.
Yeah I know what you mean. The only time I experienced significant interference on the wireless go was when my iPad was next to the transmitter. The wifi from the iPad was the problem. So be sure to keep wifi devices at least 50cm to 1 meter away.
Thanks, man! Apreciate that. Thanks for being so kind. When recording with my H1n into my ipad, I put the H1n near the ipad (wifi off & cellular data off). I consider buying wireless go after watching your video.
Anytime. Glad to be of assistance 👍
