This video is by far THE BEST video tutorial I have found for these mics. I got mine last night and I thought it wasn't working but after watching your video I see what I have to get for my computer to make the connection. I now understand how they work. THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time out to create this video. You have no idea how much stress you saved me.

[@joelvanmeer2971]

I’ve watched 4 videos after purchasing it yesterday…. This has been by far the most well explained and well laid out. The difference between the Lavalier and just the transmitter was also super helpful. I could actually hear the difference and make a decision whether its worth dicking around with or not. Thank you!

[@simonelliott5956]

Excellent video Simon, you’ve answered all the questions I had on the Rode Go 2. As someone who is not a stranger to recording, having recorded live bands in the past, I found the content both applicable and interesting, whilst easy to understand for those who haven’t had experience.

[@daleofalltrades]

Just got My set of rode wireless go 2 for my own youtube adventures. I have to say this is the best video out there for these microphones. I was so lost in the little setting of these things and this video helped me make the fine tune decisions I needed. You did a great job. This video touches on everything. Thank you so much for putting this video together.

[@beauandarrowfilms]

Fabulous video - not just the content being useful, but your calm and steady explanation of it all really helps it go in! So appreciated. I have a Q... I recently filmed a wedding, placing 1 lav mic on the groom, and 1 lav mic on the celebrant's handheld mic with electrical tape. My husband (as my second shooter!) had the receiver attached to his camera, as he was standing at the back getting a continuous wide (and so had more ability to monitor the audio input). He confirms that both transmitters were being received throughout the ceremony. However, in the RODE app later, when I went to retrieve the audio recordings, only one had recorded! I thought perhaps the transmitter was faulty, but this same transmitter worked later when recording speeches. I wonder why the audio from one of these transmitters did not record, if he is certain they were both being received? Could it have been accidentally set to mute (and therefore was receiving but nothing actually to record)? It's left me anxious for my next wedding this weekend! (I'll be experimenting all week!).

[@mitchellglick8737]

wonderful video! I did have a question about using Rode lav mics. Will you get better audio connecting a Rode Go lav mic to the transmitter and sending the signal wirelessly to the receiver connected to your iphone or will you get better sound simply by connecting your lav mic to your iPhone with a lightning adapter?

[@zacharyantle7940]

This look awesome! Also nice wizard hair Simon, you should wear it down in videos more lol

[@SiHorrocks]

🧙

[@-NEBANEBA]

Hi Simon, I cannot find an answer to this: I bought the Rode Wireless GO II a couple of days ago. Both the transmitters are well connected to the receiver and appear on its screen, however only one is able to transfer the audio to the device, which means that despite both are connected and with the volume changing on the receiver screen, no audio at all can be heard from one transmitter when a recording/video is made. I used to have the Wireless GO and never had such an issue but this time I really cannot find an answer ...

[@Majnun74]

Great! Now I can record acoustic guitar while videoing in a different location😎

[@Joe-fn9mi]

28:30 - this was a important question I asked elsewhere. If I plug into a GoPro will the GoPro internal mic also record by default? So that I end up with 3 recordings... both transmitters and the camera itself? Also on that note if plugged into a GoPro, will the transmitters start recording auto when I press record on the camera? We shoot spontaneous stuff so would be annoying to have to press record on camera AND microphones

[@timothyknight7881]

Very well done video. I can't get the Rode Central app to see the receiver for the Wireless Go II. Looking for a hard reset option.

[@mediafactoryinternational]

Hey thanks for your guidance here. AMAZING and so helpful. I struggled for days and realized that there was an off option on Rode Central for my transmitter to internally record - now that I found out - I am not sure what the PAD feature really is and if or not I should keep it on or off - PLEASE suggest? Thanks

[@SiHorrocks]

I couldn't really see the benefit of Pad over simply turning down the audio, perhaps it's just quicker

[@eprohoda]

mr. bravo~ useful , see you later-

[@thegreeklife2854]

Simon the most comprehensive video out there , your delivery outstanding , 1 question how get do i get the audio into my iPad Pro for editing in LumaFusion Thx cheers

[@SiHorrocks]

install Rode Central and then connect the transmitter via usb c cable

[@dmtarry]

For my purposes flying a drone as a single user I have set the transmitter on backup and use the receiver so I can monitor the signal and switch the transmitter on and off via the receiver. I have the receiver clipped onto on my watch strap and it works great for me rather than just using the transmitter in always on?

[@klajdi9999]

i want an advice if you can! I want to use these rode to send signal to the headphones of the fim director, but I need one transmiter and 2 reciever. If I buy one transmiter and one reciever and then i buy another reciever can I sync frequences. are ajustable the frequences? thanx

[@labrahamabraham9033]

Thank you so much for your great video.But let me ask you a query: Is it possible to connect a mixer /amplifier to a mobile /laptop which is connected to the Rode wireless mic to pass the audio through the speaks on a live program ? If so,how to do it ? Thank you so much .God bless you .

[@EleanorConway]

thanks for this. im having issues with one transmitter - my macbook pro can't see any recordings via rode central. it's an issue that's happened iwth a previous set - they replaced the set. I've tried a different cable. It tends to work on my old macbook air / usb input .

[@Anand_Bhatt]

Is there a way to get Individual DB setting for each individual mics?

[@bigderek07]

Bloody brill well done. Best video on here for rode. I ride motorcycles and I’m trying to get a mic system so I can talk whilst riding. I wear a flip helmet I am looking at the instamic pro plus but it does not hold the paring you have to,te pair each time after closing the camera of mic. I also like the look of the new dji but not sure if it will work whilst riding bikes. We use the insta 360 one x2 cameras. Any ideas welcome

[@SiHorrocks]

why not use the Rode + lav as a stand alone recorder and sync later?

[@buckflowens]

Great video, very helpful! One question. Can you connect a 3.5mm line level signal into the transmitter other than a microphone? Say an out from a digital mixer?

[@SiHorrocks]

I would guess that would work

[@robertanderson9179]

ZGCINE is the charging case I use. It holds all three units and charges them simultaneously.

[@reluctantartsy]

Thank you Simon. I attached both 1&2 to test the sound, and turned one off, what occurred is sound only went to the left speaker in the recording. At the time I was unaware of this. Then I turned the other unit back on and the first one off. Then the sound was in the right speaker. Would I have just left both on? And in the future, when only doing a single mic set up, will it record to both speakers? Thanks for this video it was an immense help.

[@djtranceporter855]

Did you get an answer? Cause i will try to record with two of them- but are they automaticly recording stereo?

[@thuytrinhnguyen8497]

Thank you very much for your tutorial! So if I’m not wrong, I just need to buy a single Rode set for one person interview? I will be filming while my interviewee answers questions.

[@Ya_Majeski]

Cheers, If I have a single version, can I purchase more transmitters for multi person setup? Thank you for your video. -Best Regards

[@donsatsop1406]

Great Video 📸 just purchased The Rode it will not power up out of box or take a charge. Do you know what the problem might be? Thank you

[@Hacker-yk8ce]

Thanks and huge respect from Pakistan 🇵🇰

[@davetea316]

The Zoom H4n has XLR-1/4-inch combo jacks, so you only need a simple, cheap as chips 3.5mm TRS to 1/4 TRS jack adapter to record audio from the wireless receiver.

[@nathanpettenon6131]

There is also a 3.5mm input on the rear that overrides the inbuilt mics...

[@tamsintarr527]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. However, please may I ask your advice? I am a riding instructor and film all my lessons. I already use Rode link to record my voice, so that my pupils can take home a film with clear audio. Is it possible for me to switch to this wireless go system and have one receiver recording my teaching, but another used by the pupil, live, with headphones, to hear my voice so I don't have to shout in windy weather. If not, i don't suppose you know if there is a Rode product that can do this?

[@dadguru7973]

Hi and thanks for this very informative tutorial - I've revisited it numerous times! I just wanted to ask, is it possible to use the Rhode Wireless Pro to simultaneously record into my camera and as a stand-alone recorder?

[@SiHorrocks]

I don't have the pro, but I assume you can, as you can with the GO II. The transmitter saves a safety track

[@DiCasaFilm]

Can you connect a transmitter directly to the computer via bluetooth, without the need for the receiver? The same way you’d connect a bluetooth speaker or any other bluetooth device to a computer? I’m looking for a lav that has this feature and none seem to exist, which I think is pretty silly.

[@yogiprashant6]

Namaste sir , Very helpful video sir, can you guide us . What should be the settings on the mic while shooting outdoors ? .. Buzzing sound coming a lot can you guide us sir ?

[@WTG194]

try turning off PAD in the app

[@TunaSoda]

I'm confused on one thing, for standalone recording using a transmitter, how is the gain set? Do I set the gain for the receiver then the transmitter will use that? (Other than PAD)

[@DJArjunSingh]

Hey! Really informative, although I had a question. So I'm a DJ and for capturing footage fro the events, I recently bought Insta360 X3. In order to ensure that the sound is good, I've been thunking to buy a mic for it but I unfortunately am sure how this set would work. I've been thinking to get Wireless ME because of their ''gain assist technology'' because of the loud music. So if I was to buy Wireless ME, then how would be the setup? Since I'm standing away from the guests behind my DJ booth. Would my insta360 with Wireless ME be able to capture clear sound from dancefloor and the guests in the venue even though both transmitter and receiver is near me? Sorry for all these questions, I'm new to it. How would this work in my case?

[@djtranceporter855]

Got almost the same question :) also if stereo is easily possible with 2 channels. Did you have any results/impressions already? Msybe also with these mics?

[@tripsNchats]

Hello sir, How to choose dB? For Outdoors and Indoors? Appreciated to your great effert.

[@yogiprashant6]

also searching for this too

[@sterlingmacrohon2535]

what's the best db settings to put on the transmitter and in your camera?

[@huckwalton2307]

Though 24 is still a standard, 32 bit float has a benefit that’s even more important than quality. It has a higher ceiling on distortion. Are use 32 bit float when I don’t have a safety channel and want to make sure I don’t get any distortion.

[@RuffLibner]

if you'll use it with Zoom H4n, this recorder on the back have trs input for external mic you can use it instead internal mics and you not need any adapter, this is stereo input ... xlr inputs stay free ...
