Hear your students on Zoom while using a wireless microphone | Rode Wireless Go Tips

[@peterjolly7749]

This is the only video I have found that shows a way to get a wireless mic into an Iphone. No tech reviewer has thought to try this. Finally an answer. Thank you.

[@monicashin526]

I just started teaching regular virtual classes on my own without a studio and your video was a lifesaver. So so grateful for you!

[@AshleyHagen]

Glad it was helpful!

[@RaichoNikolov]

You can plug the Rode Wireless microphone to a computer through a USB Type C cable. There is Rode software forac and Windows. I have Rode Wireless Me and have successfully used in a hybrid classroom where most af the students are present and one is online.

[@fabricheart6454]

THANK YOU!!! Thank you for explaining so nicely and making it so easy for people to understand. I had spent hours googling how to make my wireless mic work and your video answered all my questions and now I have a set up that works for teaching sewing lessons online!!! I can't thank you enough.

[@AshleyHagen]

Wonderful! Happy to help.

[@suzeqrocks1111]

So my first video was great. The second one the mic sound is all garbles and reverb! I have no idea what the problem is! Has this ever happened to you?!?!?

[@jo-annemunt6001]

Hi. Thank you. So I’m using an iPad and my rode with zoom clients. Have all correct leads. I can use the microphone ok but can’t hear the client. Then I connect the speaker to iPad and then they can’t hear me but I can hear them. Tried everything. Any ideas please. Very grateful.

[@summermayne3164]

Thank you for these videos Ashley! I have my studio set up with all your recommendations and I am so very grateful to YOU! I feel empowered with your help. You were there with all the solutions before there could appear to be a “problem”. I so appreciate you. Also, I have more than paid for the investment in online sales.❤

Hi Ashley, your videos have been SO helpful for me. I purchased the Rode wireless go (on your recommendation) and it's great. Very easy to use. Thanks for all the tips on the cables etc and getting it going. This video is also good so I can set it up so students can hear me - yay! Thanks :)

[@Farang_Lifestyles]

to be honest,,, I don't know anything about Yoga,,, but I greatly appreciate your explanation of this cable compatibility between devices... thanks so much for a calm and simple explanation,,,, I tried multiple connections but nothing worked... didn't realize the grey/black 3.5mm cable had 3 vs 4 gold bands in the actual plug.... but now wireless mic and ear buds I am hands and footloose ,,, wish you success with your Yoga channel.... thank you.

[@matthewjackson805]

Hi Ashley. I bought all the stuff but (!) I think I figured out a slightly better way if the person already has a bluetooth speaker: instead of buying a USB to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter (USB or USB-C) to have a "separate sound device," it seems you can achieve the same thing by simply connecting a bluetooth speaker and using that to hear your students. Set Zoom sound output to bluetooth speaker, use the Rode SC7 cable (a must, yes, verified as well as necessary in this configuration) into Macbook and now you have sound you can place anywhere (instead of fixed laptop speakers) and the mic works super. And don't have to buy USB or USB-C to 3.5mm adapter. Working great for me anyhow on a mid-2017 Touchbar MacBook Pro. THANK YOU FOR THE GUIDANCE!! Very helpful!!

[@AshleyHagen]

I’m happy to hear it works for you. The Rode does not plug in through the headphone jack for many computers, with any cables. None of the headphone jack cables work in my 2015 MacBook Pro. I’ve tried all configurations, splitter cables and more. MacBook Air is different and can directly plug into the headphone jack. Maybe some other computers are too.

[@jonrosene15]

Just FYI, I couldn't get a speaker to pair while this was plugged in. BUT I did order Rodes SC15 cable and it worked perfectly. It keeps the native speaker on the iPhone, but still activates the RODE wireless mics. So I can hear my zoom audience through the speaker on my iPhone. Rode should make this a lot more clear for those looking for mobile solutions.

[@JaredCastello]

That trick works for Zoom where you can select microphone and speaker inputs separately, but probably not for Instagram. A mic/headphone splitter might work if you plug the SC7 into the mic and a bluetooth speaker (with TRS input) plugged into the headset one.

[@AshleyHagen]

That's true. I may need to re-communicate a few things about this. I have that exact splitter cable I can try.

[@alperenozkan]

Thank you very much

[@VKD_SDA]

Tried this for iPhone pro 11 and pro 15 it didn’t work. Sound doesn’t go through wireless microphone. Bought specially that sc7 cord, and special adapters to connect to the phones one lightning and one type-c, but unfortunately it doesn’t work. :/ for zoom classes, otherwise it works for regular recording.

[@AshleyHagen]

That's weird. What about the direct charging cable from USB-c to iPhone? I don't know the exact name for that but Røde has a cable for that. Or the regular charging cable Usb-c to usb-c for the newer iphone.

[@VKD_SDA]

It works fine for regular recording, but not for zoom. That’s pretty sad.

Hi Ashley, I used the Wireless Go with my 2010 MacBook Air and the suggested cords over the last year or so. Everything worked beautifully!!! I just got a new, 2022 MacBook Pro and I bought the same cable I had before, but I upgraded to a USBC instead of USB adapter. It doesn't work!!!!! I am so frustrated and disappointed. When I connect the Wireless Go to the computer I can't hear anything and when I test in Zoom, even though the device is recognized, no sound seems to come out. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi! Your videos have been great for helping me learn and get started with Rode Go ll teaching yoga classes on zoom. I just recorded my first test with the GO. ( I did change one zoom setting in zoom which I will change back and that is I changed background noise suppression from low to medium.) My voice sounds muffled in the video playback. Any suggestions for a crisper audio vocalizing sound? Thank you again!!:)

The pixel comes with the cables and they are labeled “phone” and “camera.” They have both cables. You don’t need the Rode brand.

[@carmendubuisson2182]

Thanks for the video! I have a problem with the wireless go making a noise - like a mic interference sound. I do use the wireless go on the medium volume setting so it’s not that it’s too loud.

[@AshleyHagen]

How are you plugging it in? Is anything in the way of the microphone? Also, this happened to me once when I was charging the receiver at the same time that it was plugged into my computer. High pitch sound was recorded. Don't do that.

[@carmendubuisson2182]

OK, I do charge it during class because in the first class I used it the reciever battery ran out during class and it was charged. I’ll try again. Thank you!!!!!

[@AshleyHagen]

@@carmendubuisson2182 No, charge it before class. Not while you are using it. And it shouldn't run out that fast. I used mine for 5 days for 30 minutes each day before charging it again.

Hi, thanks so much for the pairing of Rode mic and computer! now...I am struggling with how to pair Spotify thro my AirPods, while using rode go mic as well, mic...So AirPods with spotify, any suggestions? Thanks 😊

[@mapleyoga]

bc I want my students to hear the playlists from spotify while they can hear me with my Rode mic...

[@AshleyHagen]

Spotify through your airpods? I don't what you are talking about or how that would even be possible. If you are Zoom using a computer, share your screen then choose "advanced share screen" at the top of the pop-up and you should be able to share your computer music, aka spotify, with your Zoom while your participants can also hear you.

[@mapleyoga]

@@AshleyHagen Thank you! While I can't seem link up my Rode GO 2 mic with Spotify to where both myself and clients can hear spotify together, I was able to figure out how to use Rode mic and bluetooth my AirPods with spotify on so we can all here the music together I'm not sure how else to navigate this w/o the use of AirPods . I am super appreciative for your videos! They've gotten me this far. :)

Thanks for all the information, has really helped. How about if we are leading the class via zoom, using the Rode and also wanted to play music? Can it be heard? I normally play via spotify from my laptop, controlled by my phone next to me. Thanks

[@AshleyHagen]

Yeah, if you are using the advanced share settings to play the sound, it's the same that you would do with any microphone. You can set the Zoom settings to pick up more of the background music. You'd have to play with the settings if you are using external music (not sharing through Zoom), just test it.

[@joas162]

Thank you! Very helpful. Trying to help my girlfriend getting her online teaching setup to work, haha. Is there a reason you use the extra TRS to TRRS adapter instead of the TRS to TRS that came with the Wireless Go II? That would save us an extra cable.

have a problem of not get recording from 1 microphone, as other working fine .. can you help

[@coaching_yoga_dalia]

Hi Ashley, thank you for your helpful videos! So happy I came across them. I am trying to find a way how I can hear my students on zoom while using my phone to film. Unfortunately with my setup it doesn't seem to work. I am using an iphone 13 pro with my rode wirelss go and an UE boom box. If I change from the headphones to the UE boom box on zoom, zoom also changes the mic. That means it no longer records my voice through my rodes but through my UE boom box. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks for your help in advance🙏

[@AshleyHagen]

Unfortunately, I do not know. I don’t think this method I mentioned actually works anymore. Sorry! I try my best just to use my computer.

[@coaching_yoga_dalia]

@@AshleyHagen Thank you for your reply Ashley. In the meantime I found a solution that works. What you can do is purchase the RØDE AI-Micro (rode.com/interfaces-and-mixers/ai-micro) and connect that to your iphone. Then you plug your Rode Wireless and an additional audio cabel into it which you then connect with any speaker. It works perfectly fine for me and that way I can film with my camera, see my students on my laptop and hear them on my external speaker. Hope that helps.

Dear Ashley, I´m new to this. Can you please help? I´m filming on a Asus Vivobook. I´ve bought the USB-C to Headphone Jack Adapter, but it doesn´t work and I can´t hear sound coming fromt the computer unless I use headphones. Can you help? Is it because it is no Apple computer?

[@AshleyHagen]

Are you plugging the USB-C into the microphone and the headphone jack into the computer? I don’t think that will work, and it’s also not what I recommend in this video or my others. Get the Røde SC7 cable (TRS to TRRS) and use that. Watch my other videos listed in the description for how to plug into a computer. If you’re using a computer, and the microphone is working fine, you can also change the output speaker setting to your internal computer (not set to the microphone).

Hi there thank you for all the info I did buy the rode wireless speakers works well, but the students cannot hear the music in the background only I can, If I don't use the speaker's than everyone is able to hear.. so I'm a little stumped . Any suggestions Thank you Connie

[@AshleyHagen]

The Rode Wireless go will try to cut out any background noise, including music. I don't recommend trying to play music in the background over the top of your voice. If you are using a computer for Zoom, use the advanced screen share settings to share your computer audio from your computer to your Zoom students so they can hear the music. If you absolutely need to play music in the background over your voice, use something like a Blue Yeti microphone instead, that will pick up more of the entire sounds of the room.

[@AshleyHagen]

Depending on your computer, the black/black cable may not work with your computer and will definitely not work with your phone. You'll need to get an adapter that is 2 rings to 3 rings on the tip (TRS to TRRS). Whether it's the Rode SC7 (black/gray) or another brand, you may need an adapter or a different cable for it to work with your device. You can put music behind your class, but only from a computer using the "advanced sharing" options on zoom. Not from a phone or tablet.

[@AshleyHagen]

How far away from the speaker were you? I found at about 20-25 feet away, it gets choppy. And it works best to have a direct line of sight from the mic to the receiver. So make sure it's not hidden behind the speaker.

[@yogawithpeacefulwarriorstu118]

Hi there! Thank you so much for your videos they have truly helped me.

I try restarting, replugging in, changing settings back and forth, sometimes it finally works but too many times it doesn't. Help!🙏🏼

I've never had any issues with plugging in the Rode Wireless Go (except when I had the cord backwards once) and I've been using it now for over a year. Make sure your settings are always correct. Mine always defaults to the internal mic on my computer. The sound has always been great. I'm not sure what might be happening. I'm sorry that it's being finicky for you.
