How to connect your Rode Wireless Go 2 without using the included cable improves the quality, so long as you use the cheap adaptor I mention in the video, best of all it means you'll be able to connect any USB to your iPhone and not just the Rode Wireless Go 2
@@jayhiakita4587 This doesn’t work, so I thought. The thing that made using the camera adapter connect the RODE was turning the RODE on AFTER connecting it via the camera adapter to the phone!
YES!!! This is a great patch cable idea. I was able to order on Amazon overnight ship and got it the next morning to record quality Rode sound onto my Iphone. The other cables are harder to get and would take more time to get. I ordered the lightening to camera (only) which makes this set up more stream line. Fantastic!!! Thanks again!!! Life saver!
Thank you. I have an iPhone 15 and I was first trying to connect my wireless 1 set. And was getting so frustrated trying different cables. Now I know it’s the 2 that will work.
Connecting Rode II still driving me mad. My iPad 9 does not read the camera adaptor input. It asks for power for Rode but plugged in to adapter it powers iPad though but does not input the Rode audio. Great video and nothing to fault. Must be a hardware and software issue on my iPad.
This video is a lifesaver. I was trying to look for every way that I could connect my wireless go to my iPhone, and I was really looking at investing in other gear. Until I came across this video and I had that extra lightning to camera dongle sitting in my drawers for years !! plugged it in it worked perfectly. Thank you so much. Absolutely amazing
Beautiful tip! And the best part of this setup is that you can actually listen to audio output from the iphone while the Røde mic is connected! Love it 😊 EDIT: One remark: Unfortunately it doesn't work to change the db volume when using the Apple Adapter which makes the audio too quite in my case so unfortunately I had to switch back to the old red aux cable setup so that I can adjust the db volume of the Røde Wireless Go 2 making my videos louder. If anyone has a trick to still being able to adjust the db volume using the Apple Adapter, please comment and let me know
FYI you need to pair the devices first on the ‘Rode Central’ apps on both MacBook and iPhone for it to work! I spent like 3 hours yesterday trying to get it to connect (losing my mind because I was doing exactly what he does in the video) - then as soon as I downloaded the apps and connected them it worked fine!! 🤙🏽😁
For some reason Rode central does not find my mics. It says connect device and when I do it nothing happens. I have tried like 10 times with different cables and nothing works. I wonder if it wants the adapter to be the original Apple one
@@rileygreene5904 I finally fixed it. My problem was the cable. Apparently you have to use the original cables for each device. When I changed to Rode original cables it recorded sound. When I used different cable it was showing that it is connected everything seemed to be working but when I record a video the sound was from the phone mic. So use all original cables.
@@rumensimeonov8518 I ordered the rode SC7 cable because I think that’s the main issue that the cord supplied is for cameras only, the mic makes sound I can see it moving it just won’t connect to my phone 😢
@@rileygreene5904 Mine was the same. Rode mics were moving and even charging with random cables but they were not recording sound. Only after I used the original cable it worked.
I have the wireless go me and I have the USB c / lightning cable combo. I have the apple HDMI and lighting adapter plugged into my phone, an HDMI cable to my field monitor, and the rode cable connected to my mic. I can't seem to get the sound to come through. Could you maybe help me with what I am doing wrong, please?
So you need cable to the smartphone? I got an Samsung s22 ultra and i am livestreaming on that, to my youtube for like 8-12 hours. So i really need powercable in the phone the whole time.
Thank you, Andrew. I am just buying the Rode Wireless Go 2 and this really helped me to use it withy ma Iphone 13 Pro Max. :) Btw great video editing skills, Sir!
Thank you for real, I had a regular lightning to jack adapter and it didn’t work when I tried with the Rode microphones. I was scared that my purshased had gone to waste but I quickly watched your vid and bought the Lightning to Camera 3 adapter and it sounds so crisp and works well ! Thank you
Hi Andrew! It’s Nadeem from Adclients (a client). I was looking for a solution to this as I’m about to re-record my ads and realised my iPhone 15 Pro Max needs an adapter. Anyway, I heard your voice and saw you and thought… he sounds and looks familiar and then I saw the name on the video 😅. Great job and a great example for me to refer to when speaking on the ads.
Hey thank you so much! Is there any way to connect two wireless go II receivers through the Apple Camera Adapter? If so what cord do i need to purchase that will split it?
Thanks for the video and to understand I heard it correctly, if you use the SC15 or the apple camera adapter instead of the audio jack method you will get better sound?
Dear sir madamDoes it disables speaker audio on iphone or any Android smart phone when you connect the receiver.The problem is many types of wireless mics mutes and disables speaker audio on my iphone while I am making short videos in SnapChat and TH-cam Shorts and Reels. also I do live in TikTokI am looking for wireless mic with good voice quality and noise cancelation and do not disable and mute speaker audio on smartphone
Why when I clip the rode wireless ME to my collar it doesn't sound that good at all. Especially outside. It only sounds great if I am holding it directly to my mouth with my hand. Please help.
Hi, do you need a normal adapter for iphone or do you need a special one? TRSS female or a normal headphone adapter? because you didn't specify this. Thanks
I got the black, red and grey cable and use it to connect my phone and the transmitter but when I record my voice is still being captured by the phone and not the cable… what’s wrong?
Andrew, I bought the cable adapter but the iPhone is not picking up mic. Everything is connected via the adapter and the audio line seems to be going. iPhone still uses the built in mic for some reason.
I just tried with aftermarket lightning to USB adapter and it does not work. Still uses the Iphone mic when recording. Also, Rode central app does not recognize the mics. It says connect a device and when I do it nothing happens.
Hello, thanks for the video. By using the USB-C port of the receiver, is it possible to use the mini-jack socket to have sound feedback with headphones?
how do you use the rode wiireless mic with a bluetoother speaker so that you can use the mic to broadcast via a speaker - ashes hagen ashes yoga made a video about it and sadly it doesnt work - a simple plug and play is not working at all...any suggestions to resolve this ?
Thank you for the detailed explanation. I want to ask you a question. Can I use "rode central app" on my iPhone after connecting to "apple camera adapter"?
This is the only way I've got it to work consistently. Ideally you could buy the Rode SC15 cable, but I think the camera adapter works better. I did try to get a standard Apple USB C to Lightning cable to work but without any joy.
I am having so many problems with this. I can make them record to the computer, but not my phone. The cable that came with it isn't working (which I see you explained) I got a lightening to USBC cable. It's not working either. Will yet another adapter the camera adapter really help? I'm just so done.
Are you using the Rode Wireless Go 1 or the Rode Wireless Go2, Only the Go2 will connect via USB to your phone, the Go1 will not. If you want to use the 3.5mm pin to connect to your phone you would need an SC7 Rode cable
Hi, this is a great video, thank you! I bought the original Apple Video Adapter and connected it with my new Wireless Go 2 receiver, and it worked like a charm. After a few tries, however, my receiver is suddenly dead and not reacting to any attempts to switch it back on or charge it in any way. Is it possible that this solution interferes with the battery of the Wireless Go 2 receiver unit somehow, because it seems to charge it through the iPhone once it's connected?
I tried to different USB-C to Lightning Cables (both OTG certified). Gonna try it with the camera adapter and if nothing goes the SC15. Thank you very much, I was already a little desperate.
Great video, thanks! I'm wanting to use the Rode Go II mics to teach fitness classes on Zoom, so I need sound coming out from the iPad so I can hear my participants, and then use the Rode mics for capturing my audio. This works with the SC15 cable (not the SC7), but do you know if your trick with the Apple camera adapter will allow audio to come out from the iPad speakers, as I need to be able to charge my device at the same time? Many thanks.

Thanks Andrew! Life saver! All the other videos I looed at were so noisy and...unhelpful. Happy to subscribe!
Thanks for the sub!
The thumbnail said "don't use the cable", so I thought it was going to be a wireless solution that "doesn't use the cable". Oh well...
Exactly , alot of the videos are saying its wireless then pulling out hella cords to connect 😂😂
Followed your steps. Even bought the adaptor from your link. Worked great!
Thanks Kevin
Thanks Andrew, a USB-C to Lightning also does the trick!
Thanks for the comment Harry!
Hi Harry! No need adapter? Directy usb c to lightning?
Can you not just use a usb-c to Lightning cable directly? Plug one end into the Rode and the other into the iPhone?
That was my first question also :)
Thanks so much for this mate, mine wouldn’t connect until I tried the camera adapter.. life saver! Subscribed!
Glad it helped
The connection was driving me crazy but this video saved me!!! Thank you!!!!!!

Hey thank you so much! Is there any way to connect two wireless go II receivers through the Apple Camera Adapter? If so what cord do i need to purchase that will split it?
I don’t think you can
I wonder if you can use apples new USB-C to lighting cord they been sending with their phones
You can if you like
Thanks for the video and to understand I heard it correctly, if you use the SC15 or the apple camera adapter instead of the audio jack method you will get better sound?
Instead of the camera adapter, wouldn’t just a usb c to lightning cable work?
Thank you for explaining in simple context. Very easy to follow
Glad you liked it
It works! Thank you!
U should do a video showing the diff between using the curly cable and the usb c cable
Thanks for the idea!

So I have the iphone 15PM that has usbc now - so could I just use the usbc to usbc cable to connect the phone to the rodes - will that work??
yes it will
simple way to do it is usb c to ipad pro works only use usb c to usb c cable ..maybe they updated software no need for any specail cable
I purchased the camera adapter for iPhone but when I plug in my wireless go 2 it says it uses too much power 😭😭 helppp
put the receiver in, not the mic/sender ;)
Fabulous thankyou - for someone not tech savvy this is a great help

Hi, do you need a normal adapter for iphone or do you need a special one? TRSS female or a normal headphone adapter? because you didn't specify this. Thanks
If you have a phone with a USBC connection you can just use a USBC CABLE if not you will need a TRS to TRRS cable
fantastic video - very well done
Glad you enjoyed it
Can I use the same method to plug in my Rode wireless Go II into my atem mini pro to us as an audio source. I would need a 3.5 to USB C cable?
I got the black, red and grey cable and use it to connect my phone and the transmitter but when I record my voice is still being captured by the phone and not the cable… what’s wrong?
Andrew, I bought the cable adapter but the iPhone is not picking up mic. Everything is connected via the adapter and the audio line seems to be going. iPhone still uses the built in mic for some reason.
Make sure the pin going into the phone as 3 black rings on it and not 2
What a helpful tip. Thank you so much

Does the Apple USB-C to Lightning making the same thing?
Do we also need the Rode App?
Thanks for the Video!
I got the camera adapter after watching this video but it didn’t work 😪 it doesn’t record the audio from my rode wireless II
Great video! Can I use any lightning to USB adapter instead of the Apple Camera Adapter? Surely there won't be any difference?

I didn’t buy my wireless go 2 yet, but watching your video I’m wondering if I can just use iPhone charging cable which is USB-c to Lightning?
You maybe able to, I've had issues with some of the cheaper cables, but the Apple cable seems to work just fine
