At age 79 and an old veteran of the music biz as a performer, producer and engineer, I've been using an old so called wireless for my dialogue work in my youtube videos, but it's old tech and the receiver is quite large and has to plug into the wall so it's only wireless from the mike to the receiver and this of course makes it useless for field work. I love the way these are battery operated on both ends. So simple. Todays tech is just amazing. Us old dogs are glad to have lived long enough to enjoy it at least for the little while we have left lol. Just ordered a set to hopefully move into the 21st century lol!
I Simply love the Synco Sound quality. I bought recently G2 and WOW. the Lapel Mic is so directional and quite only picks the direct sound. I was planning to buy the RODE but why Do I have to pay for a small difference in sound quality almost double the price. RODE Single Mic setup with Lav Mic cost you around $300 plus you have to buy the case if you want to keep the kit safe separately and if you want to use 2 Mic setup have to buy the other cable and then bracket. but if you just pay $150 and you will get everything. I means Everything with double mic setup and I just keep this for my run and gunshot and also when I need to use it with mobile setup this is amazing kit.
@@ybgaming07 that's the trade off for the lower price...but at that price tag, it's pretty good; maybe they'll increase the price if they manage to lower the hiss🙃
I have the SYNCO and I'm absolutely happy with it. Don't need to make recordings with people being more distant than, let's say 10 - 20 meters. Aditionnally, the SYNCO has a headphone output in the receiver part (where I can check the sound level etc.) - an important feature for me which is not provided with the RODE.
Excellent review Tom, for me the Synco, is close enough that I have no problem choosing it and that is without even mentioning that the dual transmitter Synco (with the works) still costs $50 less than a single bare Rode system. As an aside, there is another system it would be nice for you to review the Moman C2, which has the display screens similar to the Rode but has the full set of accessories like the Synco and is also a good $50 cheaper than the Rode. Cheers!
The one thing missing from this comparison is how well it works through walls and clothes (like if you have it in your pocket while using a lav). The Synco has some really good features, but it seemed to be cutting out a lot during the bad weather part and when the signal was going through your body, which could be a deal breaker.
@@TomAntos If you use this in an interview setup with just 1 talent left, 1 talent right and you as videographer in front of them (about 6 feet away or something), will the Synco set with 2 microphones be good enough for paid jobs then? I shot an interview today with just 1 shotgun mic (wired into the mic in of my GH4) which worked fine, but the cable is not so handy (I placed the shotgun mic on the table in front of the 2 talents just outside the shot).
I noted the direction of the rain meant that the Synco was getting hit from the side, the RODE from the top. That might have had something to do with the glitching. I got the Synco G1 A2 kit and it seems fine. I'm not going to be using long distance - it's going to be for interviews and narration. I'm sure over the shorter distances it will be fine.
@@TheRealChrisVessey Hello, can I ask you a question ? As an owner of the synco G1, do you have experimented the same cut and disturbing noise that they're is in the video during the storm ? And do you know if a connected lav mic reduce that noises ?
Excellent review. You covered the features of these two microphones really well. It's a tough call between these two mics. I think I would be happy with either one.
LOL you are definitely a trooper testing those units in the middle of a storm. 👍 Awesome review! You get 20 extra points for the doing it in the storm. 😃
Thanks for the great video Tom - love your stuff. Always very clear, very concise and well-produced! After seeing this, I'm ordering the Synco. My two biggest issues (and the reason I never bought one) with the Rode was that you had to buy two complete kits if you needed to mic two people - and, the nickel and dime mentality on accessories. I get the impression that the Rode may have stronger signal integrity which was causing the Synco to suffer performance-wise when both were in use.
Synco is an entry level product. Not bad at all for the price. Rode is a step above. Pricey but the audio is better with much less drop outs outside. The difference should be minimal indoors though, so keep that in mind if you have no use of the mic outdoors... Finally I like the two mics and one receiver option of the synco. Good option.
Bonjour Michel ça fait plaisir de croisé des compatriotes sous des vidéos anglophone, dis moi est ce que je peux te poser une question ? Si tu as acheté le Synco G1 est ce que tu as rencontrer les mêmes soucis (cut, bruits parasites) dans des conditions orageuses ? Et est ce que tu sais si le fait d'utiliser un micro cravate externe réduit ou supprime ces bruits. J'hésite à acheter le G2 en ce moment et ton avis pourrait m'être d'une grande aide
Hi Tom, congratulations on your review. It was enlightening for anyone looking to buy a microphone. I preferred Synco for the sound quality and the cables. I was only concerned with the internal batteries of the two microphones. Like any electronic product, they have a lifetime. When they stop charging, will the owner have to buy a new microphone?
I have stupid Rode mic , I have been using them for 2 months and now the receiver need to be connected to the charger all the time ( something wrong in the battery) , it’s super hassle for me to hold the power bank that connected to the mic and it’s always turning off while taking videos , then later on I realize that no voice in my video, I had to repeat the whole shit again . I couldn’t use the warranty because I bought them from Japan FREE TAX . Any way I couldn’t skip the video without saying thank you , press LIKE and leave a comment .. however I don’t comment in videos but you deserve it ..You did a great Job and you helped me and now I am going to buy Synco .
Synco 2mic sounds perfect for a small corporate kit… I don’t think I would trust either of these for serious audio - but great as a secondary / safety and Run’n’gun .. I wonder how they would sound with trams or countryman mics attached
This is nicely done, great info Tom. Really helped out, and the real world conditions with wind were super helpful. Way to get out there and take one for the team, ha!!
Nice comp video, thanks. Did this exact same comparison too (without the range test) and like I hear in your video now the Synco gives a more isolated recording, less background ..still scrip. The fact that the Synco is more universal in usage and complete in set with hardcase I no longer use the Rode. Not to mention the fact that it has is not even half the price and that fact that there's a 2transmitter version.
The things you gonna do for your ... channel :) Thanks for heavy weather testing. To me (listening on regular speakers) they both sound about the same. The Synco does not have a display so how do you know at which level you are when you switch the DB level?
I've seen so many videos now 2023 of the Rode Wireless Go and it does so well outdoors in wind and under clothing with the wind jammer attached. Always very strong signal and clean high quality audio. I've also seen reviews of shotgun mics where the youtube person is wearing the Wireless Go and it often sounds better than the shotgun being reviewed.
thats still pretty cool that this synco can sound like the rode or as good as - especially at close range or long range without interference... if you are in a bind for budget - this is a no-brainer. how often are you 230 ft away or 200 ft away from your camera -- mm.. who knows.. for me, i would go with both - rode being my main mic, but synco being a backup any day.
To, I am looking for my first cavalier microphone and this was a really great video. I like the Synco as it has a simple double mic option and also the ability to hear yourself with the microphone option for ear buds. Thanks for the information. I will use your link should Purchase this one. Now go dry off. You will catch a cold!
Even on my iPhone I could hear that the Synco had more hiss... but I'm only learning now that the Wireless Go is available in white! lol Love my Wireless Go, and I'd buy it again for sure, even if it does cost a bit more. Reliability is worth the extra cost.
I was thinking of picking up the synco as a backup but I’ll stick with my comica XD boom since they work perfectly. Crisp sound and long range. But I guess they should be for $269 but worth every penny. I use mine for wedding days and can’t afford to miss audio. I’m usually about 70-100 feet away from the groom and officiant so the Synco would be a no go for me
Your comparison was very useful, thank you for the effort! One question though, was any of the two mics sound edited, or are they straight out of the camera?
Love the guy who comes out and watches at about the 7 minute mark. As for the mics, I have a hard time with these. The square box is a bit big and cumbersome, no?
Very good video, and clear explanation. One question regarding the synco. For monitoring the audio, is it better to use the headphones out on the synco or from the camera? I use a Sony a7iii. Thanks :) cheers from Italy
I would say that monitor out of the camera would be better as that would be the final audio. Also, you'll be able to hear any issues caused by the camera preamps that way, e.g. preamps running too hot and clipping.
Great work. Never heard of either of these before this video and I had been needing some mics. Used your link for the Synco Double but they're sold out.
Shoot glad i stumbled across this video. I was just about to purchase rode but man synko definitely doing good and the price with extra goodies can't say no lol
yeah we ALWAYS keep the transmitter facing the camera on the Go mic system. You can be less than 20' and it will cut out if you hang it on your back pocket... Def recommend a lapel mic. Much less annoying!
Dang, I love the price, that it has line and headphone out, and that it has a dual transmitter option but the range and interference issue is a no go for me replacing my Wireless Go also that it doesn't have a screen is pretty disappointing. Do you know if the dual transmitter option mixes the two audio signals into one mono or do they come through as separated left and right?
@@SYNCOMicrophones awesome! First time I’ve heard of your company but I’m excited to see what you all are doing. You’re SO close to converting me over. Def will recommend to some of my friends looking for more budget friendly options.
I think it's great to have the wireless option if you need it for livestreaming or need it to feed directly into the camera for some reason but otherwise I'd prefer to just avoid the wireless interference and distance limitations by using the mic recorders like the Tascam DR-10L. Of course you can always use both right!?
listening back to this video, after I bought the Synco microphone. YOU DEFINITELY NOTICE a hissing sound coming out of Synco vs the Rode. Going to be returning the Synco and getting the RODE. That hissing noise is insane and you have to do audio post to even minimize that.
Hi Tom, thanks so much for your video, it is a great review+comparison! I was wondering if you have tried the Mipassport from Relacart, since the specifications seem really similar to those of Synco and exactly same price. I would be interested, since the Mipassport has the advantage of having the digital screen so you can check the status at any time...Thanks in advance! Jen
Wow thank you so much for this great review and comparison! Best one for this product I've seen by far. Great you caught the interference between them. Other reviewers did not catch that. Since I need 2 transmitters and stereo/separated sound the Synco is great. The Comica Boom has that option but I don't like its sound at all. The Synco sounds very good for its price, though the Rode is certainly is better for wireless strength and a slightly better sound, though small mic position differences would make way more difference to the sound than these have between them. Overall I'm impressed with the Syco and your review. This expose has convinced me the Synco will work for my needs. Thank you again for your timely effort.
I'd be curious to see how the *SOUND* of this compares to the new Tentacle Track E (I realize the Tentacle isn't the same kind of mic ... but if you connect a Synco to it, then it becomes a Wireless Mic that also records with timecode)
I think The rode sounds better no background noise but i only noticed that when i put my studio moniotrs on i dont think the rode is worth twice the price but for 40 extra yeah i would go with the rode over the synco, but on a serios note i do not think people will be able to tell the differnce unless they have monitors with flat sound on and a great dac and amp great for beginers however semi pro i would get the rode and if you are a pro neither if you are wondering what to buy and are nto able to tell the differnce between the synco and rode you buy the synco its that simple but great review
This video was quite informative. The Synco makes too much sense. The Rode is overpriced. I dont think the sound quality difference is too much... My clients wont even know the difference. Thanks for saving my money.
Hoped the receiver would have had a mic to. So you can use it as a mic on the camera without using both. Or the transmitter would have had an mic in port, that would also fix the problem.
Dude this video should have way more views‼️Great video and I enjoyed it👍🏾

great review! so useful
There had to be a trade off for the price and you found it instantly. Thanks for providing the test Tom.
interesting for sure. I like the fact that one can use 2 mics for interview type filming, that is the limitation I have with the Rode
you can do it with rode and a splitter left and right mono
I wouldn't use 2 mics on One channel, way too risky.
Thanks for this dangerous location work, Tom. You just saved me a hundred bucks.

I'd be curious to see how the *SOUND* of this compares to the new Tentacle Track E (I realize the Tentacle isn't the same kind of mic ... but if you connect a Synco to it, then it becomes a Wireless Mic that also records with timecode)
PS - It's not my fault you're getting wet in the rain .. I returned your umbrella :D
I think The rode sounds better no background noise but i only noticed that when i put my studio moniotrs on i dont think the rode is worth twice the price but for 40 extra yeah i would go with the rode over the synco, but on a serios note i do not think people will be able to tell the differnce unless they have monitors with flat sound on and a great dac and amp
great for beginers however semi pro i would get the rode and if you are a pro neither
if you are wondering what to buy and are nto able to tell the differnce between the synco and rode you buy the synco its that simple
but great review
This video was quite informative. The Synco makes too much sense. The Rode is overpriced. I dont think the sound quality difference is too much... My clients wont even know the difference. Thanks for saving my money.
Hoped the receiver would have had a mic to. So you can use it as a mic on the camera without using both. Or the transmitter would have had an mic in port, that would also fix the problem.
What about tests with XLR connections to blackmagic cameras?
