I would love it if pressing the Marker button on the receiver, the transmitter's internal recording will create a new track. This is useful for separating tracks with each recorded take. It would also be useful to set the filename of the internally recorded files.
That’s a great idea.
New track on press ! Genius 🙏
Can you please make an update to this Microphone by allowing on board start/stop recording function to the mute and marker options.??

I don't have a receiver unit
If we can change gain of individual transmitter that'd be a great feature
You can?
been using this for a few months now still learning more and more awesome features. thank you rode!
So grateful to learn of the wireless boom feature here! Already own the VideoMic NTG so just watching the video has instantly upgraded my setup to be much neater and less hassle!
amazing stuff you've done! rode products have never disappointed.
I would love to be able to adjust the level of the safety track to more like -10db (or perhaps programmable to any value?) than the current -20. While I understand the value of the current setting, in my workflow, mostly studio face to camera, the safety track would be more beneficial just a bit under the main track. Cheers for the video - this is a great product.
same
Me too.
And that ladies and gentlemen is why we buy rode products .
Love my wireless go2 used on 23 weddings this year not a single issue!
Hi, that means you used the wireless go with PA systems?
Very useful tutorial, thanks.
You rock ! Thanks
Thanks for the tip and keep up the good work. I'm so glad that I purchased the Wireless Go II. God bless,
The next great feature would be timecode. Maybe compatibility with something like Tentacle Sync.
Changing audio receiving level from one transmitter of the other would be incredible.
Completely essential me too.
@@LanzaroteShowcase I can’t believe this is not a feature! It’s distorted tbh default😂💀
i am so happy i bought the wireless go 2 & the video mic ntg as a video creator on social , with these 2 i don’t need to worry about audio in different situations and my audio section is good with no worries.
Thanks for knowledge
I can’t wait to try these out!
Please add transmitter identification to Windows RODE Central application. If both transmitters are connected, it is difficult to distinguish which is which. Color coding, name or serial number in the left tab will by useful .
I would like to make independent adjustments to each mic db
Great video! I I just recently purchased the kit from Sweet water to use for my live stream productions / CZcams show.
Post edit quality was good from unit. I’m going to re-watch this video as mobile app will really help.
One item I would like to see - I did plug receiver into an ATEM Mini, the only issue i have seen pushing the gain for volume control. A talk on best practices with ATEM would be good.
I try Rode Go 2 at a wedding this weekend and one of them failed. I guess the transmitter was too far away when it was turned on and it turn itself after a few mins I guess. I had it set for backup and not record all the time. I learn my lesson. Leave it set to record all the time.
Thanks!
We’d love to see an option to record 32 bit float! Is that something coming in the future?
Uncompressed audio is 32-bit float.
@@sphereindustries5224 No, it's actually not.
no firmware update can do that, it needs different electronics
Keep dreaming
I use this with my iPad Pro for streaming business via usb C since the RW2 came out, I wish I could have the option of adjusting the volume apart from that ❤️ these I have 2 sets. Thanks team
She's really awesome, great job explaining.
I would also love it if you can set the filename format of the reciever's internal recording.
I love it all!!!!Rode Rocks!!!!!
Would love to be able to control each recorders output independently. Right now we have to mute one recorder that we may not be using at that time, toasts. Place markers at the start of each session, toasts, easier to match up later
I’m glad that I decided to go with the Rode Wireless Go II or my main audio source.
I use this product specifically for live-streaming, and normally connect the audio from USB-C to USB. It would be nice if the gain adjustment affected the output via USB-C as well as the 3.5mm. Currently, the gain adjustment only affects using 3.5 mm output.
Personally, I have found it to be very useful to use USB-C output on the transmitter versus the 3.5 mm output.
Thanks for the feedback Kainoa!
Nice
Is there way to integrate a headphone monitor when using the Rode 2 for direct camera input?
Loving these new Rode items! I have 2 suggestions for the Rode wireless go II. 1. I want to carry only the 2 transmitters, with Always Record set, to carry around for stereo field recording. Can there be a way to sync them together later so I have a stereo field recording? 2. Can there be a way to use the indicator light on the transmitter to indicate when a transmitter is recording? (Maybe if the lights are color changing LEDs)
Choose the split signal option and it will record each of the two transmitters to independent left and right channels
We still need to access the recording files from the ios app, either ipad or iphone, most of use use these on the go. Another suggestion is to have a setting where the receiver is registering input from the camera and when a video recording happens to trigger a new sound recording on the transmitter . I know we have markers, but this would make managing files much easier and would be a gamechanger feature.
I totally agree about accessing the files on an iPad. Getting my files off the microphones and updating them are literally the only thing I still need a computer for… 😢
Please make batteries user replaceable in next version.
If a transmitter is muted, flashing LEDs or some other visible mute indicator on the transmitter itself would be helpful.
I would like to connect the transmitter with 3.5mm cable to the camera like a pass through with one capsule. Super compact would make it suitable for vlog.
It would be awesome if the Wireless Go II’s could receive timecode like Blackmagic have implemented with the Pocket Cinema 4K/6K
What sort of compressed format? Plans for 16bit recording?
Looking forward to being able to export recordings on Android or Chromebook :)
this doesnt have 32 bit float? what does the uncompressed mean?
Thank you 😊
For what situation are the best decibel choice?
It really depends on what you are recording, we'd suggest checking out this video which comprehensively covers how you might unlock the settings to suit your recording needs here: czcams.com/video/Ewl-_rzIehk/video.html
Wow! Very cool tips but It doesn't work with TRRS Rode cable with the phones which is very disturbing
SUGGESTION: "Standby mode" with ultra low battery usage (that can be configured in an app or program after what time receiver and transmitters to go standby - SEPARATELY CONFIGURABLE! ). In addition to that, via 3,5mm jack, receiver should be able to receive a signal from camera when it start recording and to wake the receiver and transmitters from standby and start recording immediately.
IT WOULD BE SO BENEFICIAL.
Is there a way to request if the iPad could have an app where it can transfer the audio files? I use an iPad Pro 2020, and I edit most of my videos using LumaFusion. It would be amazing if the transmitter had the ability to transfer the audio file to the iPad so that we could edit the file right after an event.
Can you do those upgrades to 1st Gen?
Quería pedirles que por favor pusieran los subtítulos en español para todos los latinos que tengamos los micrófonos de RODÉ podamos aprender sobre los mismos muchas gracias y quiero decirles que uso sus productos y me encantan se cuidan eeee
Vale
Hey, Can I use my rode mic and start it to record as a tas mic would, without having a transmitter and needing my camera running conistently?
Any chance of a firmware update to control the recording on the TX's? A lot of wasted recordings to go through to find the actual pieces required. Only option is either always on or Backup which starts recording when the RX is turned on yet we may not start recording immediately... Should be an option to press the power button twice to start recording and press twice again to turn off?
It would be great if the transmitter/microphone has a small speaker that will give a small chirp or beep when you turn it on and sounds again before powering off. I use these microphones as standalones only and I've had it happen many times that the microphone I'm wearing has powered off somewhere in the middle of my recording. If I hear the beep instead of having to look if the light is still on would be a huge plus!
Also it would be great to have gain control on the transmitter itself with two dedicated buttons (+ and -) with a small LCD that shows the value for 3 seconds when pressing the + or - button.
These would be for a newer model obviously since firmware updates cannot help the device grow new buttons.
Thanks for your feedback Gerben, we will pass this onto the team!
What Cable for iphone productcode?? >>Remotely Starting and Stopping Recording using a Smartpopne
I still miss a battery indicator on the wireless go 2. De transmitter has 2 blinking blue light when turned on. It would be nice to see that one of the led change color when the battery level change. Something like: blue fully charged. Orange 50% en red 10%. That's nice because when you just use the transmitter for example recording a voice over, you don't have to connect it first to see the battery level.
I did not know, that the Transmitters can also store recordings! I'm so stunned because I just bought them and this is such a cool feature! Wow, what's wrong with you, Rode?
Why I can not adjust volumm on imovie when I using Rode go 2 recording. ?
even with the VXLR adapter, I can't find good settings on the Rodecaster Pro to have decent sound quality with my wireless go II :(
Does someone have good settings ? And It will be great if Rode could add presets for the Wireless Go in the Rodecaster Pro Microphones section, like there is for Podmic or Procaster
The "background" music was a terrible distraction. I'd have preferred the film without any music at all. And by the way, I'm a Go II user.
32 Bit Float on Board Recording in the Transmitters would make it absolutely perfect.
I have issue unable to connect the iphone app to wireless go II its not connecting
Hey there, make sure you're using a SC15 or SC19 cable. If it's still not working, chat to our friendly support team here for more help: rode.com/en/support/contact
I'm waiting for a rodelink update. With wireless go II functionalities, more compact transmitters and dual channel receiver, screw-on mini jacks, XLR plug, wireless microphone and multiple powering options (NP-F/NP-F to dual AA adapter/USB-C).
Thank you! I was wondering if there's a way to connect the transmitter to XLR, meaning to record live show through the sound guy mixer. Usually people do that using a Zoom device...
Yes, we'd recommend the VXLR Pro for this 😊 rode.com/en/accessories/adaptors-cables/vxlr-pro
@@rodemic Thank you!
The thing is... I want to connect only the Rode transmitter to an adapter, and than the adapter to the sound men's mixer, so the Rode transmitter can record a live concert from the sound men's mixer regardless to the Rode receiver.
Like you can do with a Zoom device.
Rode adapter is a male adapter, and I think that's mean it can only let out information, and NOT get information from a mixer device. So I'm not sure the adapter will work because it is built to let out info, and not let in info.
What do you guys think and suggest?
Is it possible to use one transmitter as a backup? For example one transmitter is connected to a Lavalier and the other transmitter is connected to a Boom, so if one of them fail, the other file is there.
Hey Helena! Every time you post a new video we love you a little bit more.
PS
…and we are egged on buying more RODE gear…
BTW Hair behind ear AND behind shoulder. You can’t go wrong with this set up.
When will Rode GO Mobile be available on anything other than iPhone or Google Android? My non-Google Motorola Android doesn't run it.
Hopefully there one black and one white for us wedding videographers. Just to blend with the white dress.
Can you record onboard the transmitter and still record on the camera by plugging the receiver? and good job on that jump cut edit!
Yes you can, and thank you! 😊
Add an equaliser inside the rode wireless go !!! This would be superRode!
I purchase both, RWG 1 and then RWG2.
but when can i pull files off via USB storage instead of going through the central app?
They are Ugg and Egg files.
I have just discovered after great frustration that you cannot mute individual transmitters in merged mode while they are set to always record.
You need to set them to backup or off.
Works fine in split but then you only have left and right channels which is useless for streaming.
Selected recording delete would be good too.
what happens if you mute ?
@@Giorginho If you have the transmitters set to "Always Record" you can't mute individual transmitters.
It will show that they are muted but audio will still come through.
You need to set them to either Backup or off.
When you need to use them as stand alone recorders, you can set them back to "always record"
This is only when in merged mode.
I have told Rode about this but I don't think they know what I'm talking about.
When im not talking the noise floor raises to -5 in my GH5 camera
Does it have noise cancellation??
Why no mention of upgrades to the original Rode Wireless Go? Doesn't this say more about Rode as a company, by abandoning the customers who supported Rode with the original purchase?
"abandoning the customers who supported Rode with the original purchase?" they did not.. they took the money they made from that and created the Go 2, which gives users better functionality....
I’ve had persistent clipping even with pad on. This is in interviews with unit placed on the collar. To me that’s the biggest weakness of the system.
+1
100%. For them to say that it's hard to clip the audio with the pad on is disingenuous. It doesn't take much at all.
@@seanmorris3849 Yeah, I kinda wish she wouldn't have said that too.
I would love to have the option to use the new GainAssist Feature from the WirelessMe
02:40 audio settings on camera / 04:20 videomic ntg extra mic set up with rode go 1
just got me a pair wooo!!! hoping the battery lasts! maybe the 3rd gen should have easier access to replace the lithium battery!
when using the Go II with the Rode Videomic NTG what should the gain be set on?
This depends on proximity to the subject you're recording, so we'd suggest setting the gain dial somewhere around 10 and checking your levels on the Wireless GO II receiver unit, then adjusting your gain to ensure you've got sufficient gain without hitting the red on the levels indicator.
Is it possible to use more than tweo Rode wireless go mics parallel? Like 2 tranmitters with two mics connected to each one, to record three or for people at the same time? Or will there be complications with pairing/channels?
Hey Gerrit, unfortunately with only two Wireless GO II TX units, you will only be able to run two mics total. We'd suggest perhaps picking up a second set if you're planning on recording more than 2 people at once.
It would be nice if the unit could connect wirelessly rode central so that I can adjust my levels without having to plug in a cable.
hi i wonder, for feature no 1, do you mean that i can record without connecting the receiver mic to my phone / camera? i can just turn on both the transmitter and receiver and the audio will be recorded right away?
Yes that's right. You will just need to adjust your button settings in RØDE Central 😊
Hi, are you guys planning on selling just the transmitter for those who bought the 'Rodes Go ii Single version'? I'm sure a lot of people would love to add a second mic to make it a dual set up. I've seen a lot of people asking and your replies seem to make me think it's on the cards? Cheers
Hey there, this is not something we offer unfortunately. We'd suggest perhaps purchasing a second Wireless GO II single set and using the second receiver as a backup.
Can Rode make the recording function of the Wireless Go II also record Standard Quality (Compressed) audio in the Always Record Mode? Now it can only record Standard Quality (Compressed) in Backup Mode.Thank you
Hey there, in RØDE Connect, if you set the recording quality to uncompressed in another mode such as 'backup' and toggle through to 'always' it should lock in uncompressed settings for you.
If the receiver gets lost, is it at all possible to pair the transmitter to the 2.4wifi of a laptop to still record wirelessly? At the 2:50 chapter about Rode Connect I wasn't sure how to interpret what's been done & presented there. Cheers! =)
Hey there DShack, that's a great question as the technology in a 2.4GHz WiFi device and the Wireless GO II are similar in some ways. However, the only way to use RØDE Series IV transmitters is with RØDE Series IV recievers, which can be found in the Wireless GO II, the Wireless ME, the Wireless PRO, the Streamer X, the RØDECaster Pro II, and the RØDECaster Duo. Note that these devices can use two transmitters at one time, except the Streamer X, which can only use one.
Usb c to usb c is good for best quality of recording in android devices??
Like Samsung Galaxy S20 FE
Can we get a podcast app for the iPad with individual gain control? Would our make podcast completely wireless and mobile. Thank you
This is a good suggestion! We do currently have RØDE Connect available for free for computers, but not yet iOS or Android.
Behind ear
Wehey, that Magclip is cool!
Edit: just ordered two Magclips 👍
I am considering this new GO II. However, I have a question though... Can it pick up environment sound, like the sound of the waves crashing onto the beach?
Yes it can absolutely pick up environmental sounds.
to Remotely Starting and Stopping Recording using a apple Iphone
do I need the Rode SC16 Câble or SC15 ?
Yes, you will need to use the SC15 or SC19 cables which are Apple-certified Lightning Accessory Cables in order to connect the RØDE Wireless GO II to an iPhone.
I wish the safety track would directly be recorded in the transmitter and still be able to do split mode.
Plus the ability to get the audio files without needing the Rode Central app. This is important when working with an editor on the fly e.g. Same day edit during a wedding.
Also, fyi the Rode Central app and desktop app keeps crashing.
Thanks for the feedback Paps, we have recently released version 2.0.6 of RØDE Central which we'd recommend updating to if you haven't already!
Hello! Can you say, how can i chande a level of internal recording? Or it have same level as external recording?
There’s no way to have two separate sets of levels for onboard and in-camera, however you can activate the safety channel to ensure you don’t run into any clipping, check out how it works here: rode.com/en/user-guides/wireless-go-ii/using-rode-central#:~:text=Always%27%20recording%20mode.-,Safety%20Channel,-R%C3%98DE%20Central%20allows
how can adjust both tx for different volumns ?
The Wireless GO II has the ability to use a pad on each TX, however there isn't independent gain control.
I love it 💚
The 32 bit float has already saved my audio on a project. It really works as such a cute field tiny recorder. I'm excited to try it with an ntg mic as a wireless boom. And can't wait for Colors 2
Only it is not 32bit.
Unless I'm wrong, or late to the table, you need a Rode USB-Lightning cable to connect the Rode Mobile app to the receiver. This, in my humble opinion, is a travesty. Don't be like DJI, GoPro and others in requiring your faithful customers to buy proprietary hardware from you to make your products work as they should!
My second point would have to be, if there are two versions of audio quality available; "Broadcast" and "Compressed", why then would the compressed mode be, as you say, able to deliver a "broadcast quality in this mode"? Hmmm?
I'm not trying to nitpik here, but these are issues that bother me. I love my Wireless Go ll mics, and I SO appreciate Rode's rocking updates on this extremely good hardware, but seriously, these issues need to be addressed. I spent good money on a great data USB-Lightning cable that I won't get back because there was no mention anywhere about needing a proprietary cable to use the app. Otherwise, I'm super happy with these mics!
How to connect the go mic 2 to rodecaster pro channel 1&2 (splitting áudio in 2 different channels)?
I want to record 2 people using a rode go mic 2 and a rodecaster pro by xlr inputs
I love this brand ❤️
Maybe i need a SC11 + 2 VXLR?
Hi Maksuel! We would recommend using the VXLR Pro instead of the VXLR as it provides a balanced XLR signal, that allows for the best performance with the RØDECaster Pro. So, you would need 1 x SC11 and 2 x VXLR Pro's for this setup. Make sure that the Wireless GO II is in Split Mode as well!
Does anyone have recommendations on how I can stop getting feedback from one of my Rode Mic Go II's? One works wonderfully, with clear and crisp audio, but the other mic seems to have a constant ringing feedback sound, and I'm trying to see if there are firmware updates, or any other links I can check out where I can have this problem fixed:). Thank you to anyone for help on this!
Hey there, we'd recommend checking in with our support team about this issue here: rode.com/en/support/contact
I purchased the wireless go ii but I only got 1 receiver and 1 mic because that’s all I need right now. Is there a way to purchase just a mic from rode? I can’t find them so singularly anywhere.
Hey there, if you're after the dual set and purchased a single transmitter set, we'd suggest returning it (if able) and buying the dual transmitter set instead, as we don't sell the transmitter units separately.
What is the best decibal on rode go 2
This will depend largely on what you're recording, so testing your transmitters at around the sound level you will be recording and monitoring the indicator on the receiver to see if the levels are too high (or low), then adjusting the sound sensitivity to accordingly via the sound pad is the way to go!
I own the same RODE Wireless mic GO 2. The thing is the audio is working only on the left side, even in merge mode. Hope you can assist me in this
We'd suggest reaching out to our Service Team, who will be able to help you troubleshoot this 😊 rode.com/contact
Can it be used without the receiver because i just lost my 😢
Hey there @_marshaljames, no, they can't be used without recievers sadly. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Hi, can the wireless go be plugged into a classroom PA system?
Yes, you can use the 3.5mm output on the receiver. We’d recommend reaching out to our Service Team for help with your particular setup though, you can get in touch here: rode.com/contact
How do i connect 2 receivers to a camera?
One way is to use something like an SC11, to join the receivers, and feed a stereo signal to the camera. However, each RX would have to be in Merged Mode, for both mics from each set to be fed into camera. We recommend having 'Always' internal recording enabled on the TX units, so you can edit subjects separately later if need be. (Plus it's great to have backup audio anyway).
Is the wireless go II receiver compatible with a wireless go transmitter?
No, they aren't cross-compatible
Feature request: separate gain control per transmitter. Use case: one receiver records a guitar amplifier and another receiver records the voice of the guitar player.
Hey there! This is currently possible using RØDE Central. 😊
