[@maxzurawski5504]

Great vid. One thing to add to your video. During the video you said that you need to “somehow” hide the wireless mic with the front having the bright rode logo. In the package there are two black stickers that come with it. You can use those to stick it on the front of the mic to black it out. I placed that sticker a little higher so it would also dim the lights more. Hope this is helpful. And I agree with another comment I saw. Rode should use your videos for their tutorials.

[@FiftyPlusTech]

This was extremely helpful! Thank you!

[@MK-Creator]

Thank you a million times for your support!! 🤩🥳😃

[@CotswoldCountryFlowers]

Thank you so much for this video. As a very novice videographer, I would have had no idea how to link the TX and RX to my iphone and what settings to use as there were no instructions in the box. I watched your video before making the purchase as the ME seemed the right option for me. I'm not a big KZbinr and budget was a consideration and this is top end for my needs (only use imovie to edit it - no time or desire for any other post production edits) but having just tested the RODE ME, it will be a game changer. My last microphone broke some time ago and was not wireless. My videos tend to be filmed outside, so the last few have been poor due to relying on the iphone microphe. During the test it even performed quite well on playback despite some gusts of wind. Thank you once again. RODE should be thanking you for the excellent tutorial for beginners.

[@artjiujitsulife]

Great information! Thank you so much I learn better from demo than reading instructions. Thanks so much!

Hello. I have Wireless Me already but I want to add one Wireless Go II transmitter to my setup. (I couldn't find single ME transmitter in shops thats why) As I know go 2 support internal record. But it records on transmitter or receiver? May I able to use that feature even when I add Go2 transmitter to my Me Receiver? Thank you.

[@JinieFilms]

Thanks for this very helpful video! Do you have any suggestion on physically attaching a Rode Wireless Me receiver to an iphone with MagSafe? The Rose MagClip Go magnet wasn't strong enough, not securely attaching the receiver to the iphone. Thank you!

Thanks for this video, mate ❤. My set didn't come with a user manual either

Hey,😂 even better still, your instructions on how to properly adjust gain when connecting to camera🎉. Perfect😊 everything works now! But now I need to cut some of the fluffy attached to RX! When RX with fluffy is attached to the hot shoe, camera switches to viewfinder not LCD screen😂😂

[@drivelazy]

Buddy since receiver has a mic, can we can turn off the transmitter and use receiver as the only mic while vlogging?

[@AnchoredintheStorm]

👏 awesome video! Rode must have known you existed because they provided zero manual or instructions!

[@timpv]

Dumb question but can you just use any type of USB C to lightning cable for iPhone, or does it have to be SC21?

[@flyingskwerl-Outdoor_Adventure]

Have you ever tried to use a splitter on the ME to have two wired mics inputs into the ME 3.5 input. So I want to capture input from my helmet speakers (other riders) from a separate source to a splitter/joiner on one side and a mic to the other side running , the two signals to the input of the Me. Possibly using a rode ai mini or a double female input(3.5 trs ) to a single male (3.5 trs)

[@mlubinda1620]

Supper duper great video

[@MK-Creator]

👍🏼😃

[@ian_MMA]

I just got the rode me so even tho I only have one mic and one transmitter I can use the transmitter to do an interview with a second person or just get a second mic ?

[@thomashemery8227]

Thank you for all those explanations ! Very usefull. At 10:58 it seems super stupid from RODE to have put the mic on the receiver at the back of the device on not in front ! Oh sorry, it's on purpose as to sell the Flex clip.

[@Kings_Way748]

Can you connect a second transmitter to one receiver if you doing a podcast with two people?

[@MaxPhotoGraphic]

How can you reset RX and TX ? please, I have the feeling that during the update there could be a signal lost wireless connection, Thanks

[@ericbaltring299]

Thank you very much because your video was very well made, exactly what I expected to know if I wanted to buy one or not. Hope you will last for a long time.

[@MK-Creator]

Thanks a lot! 😁👍

[@MTaylorM4]

Do you need a camera for the WirelessMe to be of use? I don’t see any use of these microphones with a cell phone strictly by itself.

[@MySistersHouse]

There’s two vinyl static stickers in the kit that you can use to cover up the lights and logo 👍🏽

[@timtot1990]

How do you clip the RX device to the camera/phone? Is that something you have to buy? I have the Wireless ME and want to clip it to the back of my phone

[@patriciabeckeryoga]

a samsung galaxy phone does not have a slot for the the black wire. It this correct?

[@shobhabu]

Thank for the video, it is been very useful to watch it, as I purchased a new mic. Could you please tell me how can I reduce the audio input gain on an iphone ?

[@MK-Creator]

Thanks! 🙏 The input gain can not be adjusted in the built in camera app. I would probably advice to use the Røde Capture app where you can adjust the I out gain. 😁👍

[@roseblixencrone]

Just wondering. Why does it only have 1 single audio output , when it records on 2 microphones? I just assumed that it would be 2 audio tracks in premier. But... no?! How inconvenient! It would be grate to record background sounds and different sound layers that you could later adjust in edit! Do you know if this is an option on a higher price class of rødes ? any thoughts?

[@jip230]

I just bought rode on the recommendation of a friend that used to work for Bose. First clue when there were no instructions with the microphone. Second is the special apple dongle need to connect this thing to my phone. Third is how absolutely wildly complicated getting set up and started is. I don’t understand any of this crap. This is clearly a microphone set up for professionals

[@DukeMac]

Why is the mic on the reciever set up to face the person actually on camera? It's directed at the operator??

[@electrolatif]

You make want to buy one😂 But i have question, can use it for video calls, or normal calls....

[@patrykkasinski534]

The app on iphone doesn’t recognize the device, but it works perfectly on the iPad. Any ideas how to fix this?

[@MoniqueOnAMission]

Thanks for the informative video. The app wasn't working straight away with me. It took me a while to figure it out. I had to switch on the OTG connection first. But now the mic is still not working. My internal mic still is taking over. Any ideas how to solve this?

[@spartianknight.]

Did you ever figure it out?

[@jerrybenson]

At around 13:33 your transmitter on your shirt has a wire??? Is that a different mic not provided that plugs into the transmitter thats hidden behind your shirt or what? Thanks

[@MK-Creator]

That is a lav mic that I have plugged into the Wireless Me mic in. More exactly I believe it’s Rode Lavalier II: geni.us/rode-lavalier-II

[@noobpro1083]

Good video! i was wondering how do you get the audio if it doesn't have internal recording?

Thank you. You have to connect it to a camera so the camera records the audio into the video.

Can you please make a video on how to connect the Rode Wireless ME with an iphone? Is it superior to just use the USB-C lightning cable included or should I use the red cable and 3.5mm adapter jack to plug into my iPhone?

[@MK-Creator]

Where are you running into issues? Plug the me mic (receiver) into the iPhone.

[@dailyworkjournal]

@@MK-Creator I got it now, thanks! I didn't realize that the black cable plugging the Receiver into the iphone is not only just for using the app to adjust settings but also for recording real videos too. I thought there was a different set up for that.

Charge it with a USB-C cord 😃👍

[@neddannenberg100]

Did it eventually charge? I am only getting a flashing red light when connected to USB-C. The instructions I found say flashing red means very low battery, but it never goes solid red to indicate it’s taking a charge.

[@cayman2010]

How are you attaching the device to the back of your iPhone?

[@MK-Creator]

Are you referring to the Rode? It’s only attached with the cable

[@Coopileo]

I found a solution to my problem connecting Wireless ME on FP3 Android 13: Manually switch on the pre installed camera app, press the "Settings" symbol up in the left corner on screen now. Scroll all the way down, switch "Audio Signal" to "MIC". Otherwise it won't record. This setting is nowhere else in my OS and there is no documentation that I could find anywhere. I'm not a pro, searching for this was awful. If it still doesn't record, unpair by clicking "unpair" in the Rode Connect app, then restart your phone and then pair by switching on both RX and TX and when you see a blinking green light on both RX and TX, press the button on the RX first and then the one on the TX. They pair now. On my phone this was when they started recording. The mics were a bit cheaper, someone had given up and sent them back I guess.

[@ThisIsGeorgeMatthew]

Thank you for this! Rode should pay you for being a human instruction manual LOL

[@MK-Creator]

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. I actually think that Røde should pay me as well.🤔

[@AwfulAp]

No matter what I do my audio is only getting picked up by the camera microphone and not the me microphone. I have everything connected the right way. Do you know why this is happening?

[@txmade210]

@@MK-Creator No problem! The whole setup is good. But when I record there's no audio from the mic. Only the camera. I'm also new to this so it could be a minor mistake on my end.

[@MK-Creator]

What do you mean when you say you only have audio from the camera? Sounds as if the cable is not connected correctly in that case. The internal microphone of the camera is disabled when external audio is recorded via the 3.5 jack.
