Five Things You Didn’t Know the Wireless GO II Could Do | Sounds Simple

[@andykww]

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.

[@LanzaroteShowcase]

That’s a great idea.

[@onemanin2pubs]

New track on press ! Genius 🙏

[@KabiesiTV]

Can you please make an update to this Microphone by allowing on board start/stop recording function to the mute and marker options.??

If we can change gain of individual transmitter that'd be a great feature

[@ScarmackProductions]

You can?

[@davidanderson8381]

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.

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!

[@McNair1952]

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.

[@hawkeye_544]

That's exactly what I was thinking. Seems like the music was just "thrown in" at the edit. Sheesh. Just incredibly annoying.

[@stevey500]

Changing audio receiving level from one transmitter of the other would be incredible.

[@LanzaroteShowcase]

Completely essential me too.

[@ChristianFarrington]

@@LanzaroteShowcase I can’t believe this is not a feature! It’s distorted tbh default😂💀

[@livepict]

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 .

[@matthew.datcher]

The next great feature would be timecode. Maybe compatibility with something like Tentacle Sync.

[@KapturedbyKerry]

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.

[@jonathanallison]

We’d love to see an option to record 32 bit float! Is that something coming in the future?

[@sphereindustries5224]

Uncompressed audio is 32-bit float.

but when can i pull files off via USB storage instead of going through the central app?

[@LanzaroteShowcase]

They are Ugg and Egg files.

[@BabaRaichand]

Thanks for knowledge

[@kainoaliu]

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.

[@rodemic]

Thanks for the feedback Kainoa!

[@lopstream]

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

[@gastonfg]

You rock ! Thanks

[@AlbertVicol]

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.

[@MaggiFuchs]

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… 😢

[@mch2359]

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?

[@dannythemedic]

"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....

[@guitarwizdom]

If a transmitter is muted, flashing LEDs or some other visible mute indicator on the transmitter itself would be helpful.

[@63MacGuy]

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

[@akuffobabes]

Wow! Very cool tips but It doesn't work with TRRS Rode cable with the phones which is very disturbing

[@100x35Vlogs]

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.

[@dugsbugs1]

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.

[@Giorginho]

what happens if you mute ?

[@dugsbugs1]

@@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.

[@brettsherman7810]

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.

[@inatmedia509]

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.

[@GerbendeJong]

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.

[@rodemic]

Thanks for your feedback Gerben, we will pass this onto the team!

[@andykww]

I would also love it if you can set the filename format of the reciever's internal recording.

[@user-qg4yp1wx9g]

Hello. Please add the ability to remotely enable recording of transmitters from the receiver in the next updates. This will be a very useful feature that will help save space.

Great video! I I just recently purchased the kit from Sweet water to use for my live stream productions / KZbin 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.

[@jeoffreymorales5601]

Hopefully there one black and one white for us wedding videographers. Just to blend with the white dress.

[@BillMoriarty]

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)

[@snap-n-shoot]

Choose the split signal option and it will record each of the two transmitters to independent left and right channels

[@Tech4YourNeeds]

I’m glad that I decided to go with the Rode Wireless Go II or my main audio source.

[@nexttvc]

Add an equaliser inside the rode wireless go !!! This would be superRode! I purchase both, RWG 1 and then RWG2.

[@youssb316]

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.

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?

[@RazaMalikFilms]

32 Bit Float on Board Recording in the Transmitters would make it absolutely perfect.

[@luf-produkttests]

I would love to have the option to use the new GainAssist Feature from the WirelessMe

[@KaiTiura]

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!

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!

[@diegocaracasfc]

Excuse my ignorance and lack of searching. I My question is, what are the differences between the Go and Go2? Is it simply the amount of recover/transmitters? Or is there a difference in the actual spec’s? Sorry apart from the on board recording features. maybe Im just being silly here??

[@rodemic]

A good question! The Wireless GO II and original Wireless GO share the same compact form factor, unique cold shoe clip, in-built microphone, and easy-to-use design. However, the Wireless GO II is a dual channel wireless microphone system, which consists of two transmitters and a single receiver. It also offers an extensive feature set that makes it extremely versatile, including both an analog 3.5mm TRS output for plugging into cameras and a digital audio output via USB for plugging into smartphones, tablets and computers, on-board recording, 200m range with improved transmission stability, flexible gain controls, safety channel, complete control over all features and functions via RØDE Central, and much more.

[@MeariBamu]

RODE W2 don't transmit L and R by computer for danvici record. because of it combine together with virtual output, no option for transmit both by 2 virtual channel

[@kainoaliu]

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.

[@DIYDumpRat]

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

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! =)

[@rodemic]

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.

I just learned the output is microphone level, even at 0 dB setting. So it attenuates the DAC output, then you need a mic preamp to get good level in a field recorder. I don't get the reason they did this. At least there should be an option for line level output on the receiver.

@@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?

[@Zimvg]

when using the Go II with the Rode Videomic NTG what should the gain be set on?

[@rodemic]

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.

[@MunirRahool]

I have been trying to buy these for last several months. The sudden "emergencies" are keeping me away from getting them.

[@michaelyoung24]

If one of the transmitters breaks, can you purchase a single transmitter to replace it?

[@rodemic]

Unfortunately we don't sell them separately, sorry Michael. You could opt for the single set and keep the additional receiver as a backup.

[@LanzaroteShowcase]

She said it was difficult to overload the input. Anyone using this for drama with actors who know how to project their voices knows it is remarkably easy to overload the input... The pad option is not enough, it needs a proper input gain stage with a way to set the levels from the receiver. Also, the software audio waveform display is useless for finding audio sections for selective output. I just give up every time and download the whole lot and fix it in Logic, meaning my hard drive is filling up with hours of silence or people waiting to start talking...

[@ChristianFarrington]

It’s laughable that that’s a missing feature. I’m very disappointed.
