Rode Wireless ME vs Rode Wireless Go II - Which Is Right for YOU?

[@katarzynamurek1176]

Great review and useful instructions, thanks for making it very clear and easy to understand for a person not super fluent in tech and audio :)

[@holtkate81]

Finally no rubbish reviews! Thank you!

[@FlyEnri]

Glad it was helpful !

[@samubolvivat9504]

RODE ME has new audio gain feature and MIC on receiver unit but no digital display, no onboard recording. RODE GO II is what I wish for with digital display, longer range and onboard recorder. I guess I wait.... for a new GO III with audio gain feature from ME with MIC on receiver unit. Don't mind to pay more. I think RODE's did drop the ball on RODE ME for not include digital display on receiver.

[@FlyEnri]

It was totally for cutting down the costs and making it under 200 usd to compete with many other wireless mics on the market. But I'll do the same, waiting for the Go III with those features !

[@MapleTrailer]

you're great to listen to, loved it, thankyou

[@FlyEnri]

Thank you so much for watching !! Glad it was useful !!

[@logisticalstyles]

Great comparison of the two systems. I already have the Go II and I love it. The ME looks interesting but the GO II does everything I need. I like the app though. Recording both cameras is very dope.

[@FlyEnri]

Really cool the app really! Yeah, me too, for what I need the Rode II is better, but I can see lots of people going for the ME for the price tag and this auto magic gain feature is fireeee, wish they update it on the Rode II also.

[@demos_mylonas]

Bro what the hell, you are very good. Keep up the good work and you will blow up one day.

[@FlyEnri]

Thank you so much brother !!! So good to receive comments like this, it really pushes us to improve !!

[@GoldPunch]

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.

[@FlyEnri]

Hi yeah you can add the Go II to the Me system! And yes, internal recording will work 👍

[@FlyEnri]

Ah and the internal recording is on the transmitter, exactly to avoid wireless interference. It will of course record on camera too, so you got a backup audio!

[@gunxxter]

@@FlyEnri So is it possible to disable recording on the receiver in the settings so that the sound from two transmitters is recorded in separate channels?

[@djnaydee]

at 5:56, Rode not interested in creating an Android Version? Are they asleep at the wheel? Its not 2010 anymore, Android sales have surpassed Iphones significantly world wide years ago. And yes, even amongst creators.

[@FlyEnri]

I suffer with that also being an Android user ! Hope they get it working soon !

[@AdamCeladin]

which one is better for phone bro ?

[@FlyEnri]

Any of them will work, all you need is to connect on the USB-C and you're good to go ! They are all the same size and weight also, so no difference there also. If you'd like to have a microphone on the receiver also, connected to the phone, than the ME is better.

[@ykhemani]

Thanks, this was super helpful! Another reason to perhaps consider the ME over the Go II is if you just need a transmitter to use with the RodeCaster Pro II. In that case, you won't use the included receiver -- the RodeCaster Pro II plays the role of the receiver.

[@FlyEnri]

Wow, I didn't know that, even went to the RodeCaster page to check how it works ! Thanks for adding this tip Yash !

[@keracreates7976]

Great explainer. Thanks man

[@FlyEnri]

Thanks a lot for watching !!

[@deendistel853]

@FlyEnri is video and audio saved in one file, also on your phone? That saves a lot of time sorting and merging files in editing right?

[@themastersvoice8636]

Greetings.Thank you for your video. Please guide me , regarding the use of Rode Wireless PRO, as wireless hands free mic for public address for mega church meetings etc. where preacher and interpreter stands together with their mobiles etc. 1) Rode Wireless PRO being GHz,will our mobiles,wi-fi etc.interfear with it's signals, so that the voice gets affected?( Not saying about feed back, but about interferences from other signals ) 2) Can Rode Wireless PRO receiver be connected directly to the sound amplifier or is it possible only through a mixer ? PLEASE LET ME KNOW,IF IT IS FINE TO GO FOR IT FOR MY SPECIFIC USE ?

[@sadako2009]

I didnt quite get you on the receiver microphone part...Sorry. Are you saying that the receiver microphone is a good addition now that you can get sound clip from the person who is being interviewed and the person interviewing ,which can be behind the camera.Thanks!

[@FlyEnri]

Hi ! Exactly, now even from behind the camera you can have your voice being heard without any problems !

[@HollywoodweddingfilmsGREECE]

Hello .... Thank you for your very-very informative video. At 5.15 you say that once you use 2 transmitters & 1 receiver you have to merge the transmitters 2xTX into one channnel. How about keeping the RX reciever's MIC , off ..... What happens then ? When you are using/recording only two (2) transmitters TX ...... is it possible for them to be recorded in two seperate channels so you can work with them in post seperately ? Thank you for your time.

[@FlyEnri]

Yes, it's possible ! With 2 TX and the received mic off, you can have each TX on a different channel, so you can treat them separately ! :D

[@YemiOladapo]

I can only find the Rode Wireless Me with only one receiver, even though I need two receivers, as displayed in your intro. where can i find that.

[@FlyEnri]

Hi !! The receiver will always be only one, it's the device that connects to the camera. The transmitters are the ones that stay with the people in front of the camera, and the ME comes with only one. The Rode Go II has two transmitters, if you need, that's the way to go!

[@YemiOladapo]

@@FlyEnri i actually meant the transmitter. Thanks for your response!

[@Logan.Ninefingers]

Thank you. Great job. I'm going for the ME as I just need it for single person front of camera talking. Is there a big difference between the Lavalier Go and the Lavalier II?

[@FlyEnri]

Great choice ! Both are amazing, I haven't tested them together yet to make a comparison, but just by listening I'd say you'll be super happy with both of them!

[@wearetrackclub]

Nice breakdown! Super informative :)

[@FlyEnri]

Thanks a lot guys!! I'm using your songs and experimenting with your website a lot ! Been loving it, thanks for passing by here and for the work there !

[@DJArjunSingh-e4m]

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?

[@FlyEnri]

Hi ! Yeah, you could use it no problem, but there's an adapter for the Insta360 X3 so you can connect an external microphone to it. This way, the receiver that stays connected to the camera is hidden in the safe area, and the transmitter you can place anywhere in the room. If you believe from behind the desk, the audio from the dance floor is already good, you can use the input from the microphone on the receiver, but if it's not, you can try to find somewhere safe around the room to place the transmitter and get the audio wirelessly from there.

[@armandlombard]

Heard all and everything about it , except tyhe most NB part - the Audio test?

[@FlyEnri]

Hi dear! Sorry I didn't understand the question, if you can explain it's my pleasure to come back and answer it :)))

[@cruiseandthemeparkguide]

The Rode Wireless Go II now can be purchased as a transmitter only!

[@FlyEnri]

That's perfect if you want to add one TX to the group !

[@victorivanow8640]

Where are the audio files saved in the wireless ME? Does it have internal recording with an SD card?

[@FlyEnri]

Unfortunately it doesn't ! The audio files will be inside the video file, in your camera !

[@deendistel853]

@@FlyEnri Video and audio is saved in one file, also on your phone? That saves a lot of time sorting and merging files right?

[@modelpatty]

Super helpful! I'll probably be getting the Rode ME once I decide to upgrade my audio. Can you do a comparison of the audio from the iphone vs using a separate mic. I typically have the camera a few feet from my face.

[@FlyEnri]

Hi Patty! Definitely the audio from the iPhone is not bad at all, but with the distance it gets worse and worse, including all echo from the room you're recording.

[@modelpatty]

@@FlyEnri thank you!

[@SimpliAlex]

fantastic video but a question please, If I do moto vlogs, will the ME be enough? and also will the audio pick only from one microphone?

[@FlyEnri]

Yeah, it can be great for moto vlogs ! The audio is picked up from the transmitter or the receiver microphone, or both !

[@Lifeofredo]

my rx is connected but for some reason the tx isn't pairing, I'm using a iphone 11 any help?

[@FlyEnri]

You can try the process of resetting and doing the pairing process all again ! It might help, if it seems to be totally disconnected !

[@Lifeofredo]

@@FlyEnri I figured it out this morning, thank you so much 💯

[@iamchampchannel]

sony ECM-W2BT also having same feature that receiver also included mic.. wonder battery life of this rode wireless ME.. receiver & transmitter

[@FlyEnri]

Thanks a lot for your comment dear, you're right, they've also included it on their mic! The battery life for me has always been something around 6h, so if you don't leave them on continuously it will last the whole day.

[@NoahTuttle-do1uu]

Really looking at getting the (Me) only concern is if i have to have the receiver mic on too?

[@FlyEnri]

You don't need to use its audio, worst case you can use Split and duplicate the transmitter audio on top of the other channel :)

[@AustrianGeek]

Is it possible to mute the mic of the transmitter (like its possible on the GO II)? I do not find anything about that in the manuals etc.

[@FlyEnri]

Very good question ! I'm not sure you can, if anyone here tried or found a way please share it !

[@aaronriccardo]

Did you find an answer about your question?

[@viralbuthow000]

Can you listen to the audio WITHOUT pulling out the cable from the Iphone? I have a 13 pro max

[@FlyEnri]

Earbuds or something like that for sure !

[@DavidPanqueva]

heyyyy, I just need a wireless mic to make this tik tok type interviews, can I get a single Rode Wireless Go 2 without receiver and kind of put the mic on the person mouth when responding?

[@FlyEnri]

Hi !! Yeah ! If you turn on the feature that the Rode II will start recording the moment it's turned on, then it will record internally, even if it's not connected to the receiver. But I'd highly advise you to record also on camera, using the receiver. Like this, you've got a backup !

[@adalbertoflores2341]

You can monitoring de audio with a headphone 🎧 ?

[@FlyEnri]

Yeah! Just plug it in the camera and you're good to go !

[@lerrymaine]

If anyone can help me. Im new to record two people talking. Im going to use 2 camera setup I got a Wireless go 1 and I bought a Wireless ME for my second camera. Is that the correct way to record? It will be easy to synchronize to audio clips later? Thanks in advance

[@FlyEnri]

Hi !! It will definitely work like that, no problems! I recommend you to do a high noise clap when starting each clip, so that you can easily synchronize them later !

[@mineralz94]

What about the dji mic?

[@FlyEnri]

Also a great choice, but it's more comparable to the Rode II than to the Rode ME.

[@mannytroll9572]

I have the dji mic and honestly the fact this rode me has the auto assist gain is so amazing!!! I love them both! And the fact the go me is half the price I’d recommend this go me, the only reason I love the dji mic more is the fact it has its charging port but rodé announced they will now be selling soon a charging port for the rode 2 ! But I don’t mind leaving the rode me on the table charging

[@shaunsvids]

Thanks for the insight.

[@FlyEnri]

Coming up the new video about the Rode Wireless Pro, hope you like it too !

[@xplode225]

Does the wireless me work for go pro hero 6 black?

[@FlyEnri]

Just checked and yes, but it's got only the USB-C port right ? So you need the adapter, but it works :D

[@coconutz247]

is this secure with a insta360 x3 attached to a selfie stick for a motorcycle at 70mph?

[@FlyEnri]

You need to ensure the receiver is well connected to the selfie stick, depends on the stick you're using.

[@Benpullenergy]

I can see how this will be great for doing interviews with one person in front of the camera and one behind. What about doing an interview where both are on camera in front of the camera. Would a second transmitter sound quality be reduced as it can only be coupled on the same channel as the first transmitter? Is there anyway to use the receiver? I'm wondering how if it is attached to the iPhone / camera.

[@FlyEnri]

Yeah, very hard to use the receiver in this case ! The quality would be the same if you paired a second transmitter... But yeah, definitely not meant for 2 people on camera!

[@Benpullenergy]

Thank you,​@@FlyEnri so probably best to get a second set, and use 2 transmitters for 2 speakers and 1 receiver for receiver?

[@FlyEnri]

If you need 2 people in front of the camera I guess a better solution would be to get a Rode II, use both transmitters and if there's ever a third person behind the camera use something else, like a Zoom recorder... You'd spend about 400 USD like this. The dual ME solution about 300, but I'd say probably you'll have more use for the Zoom recorder than a second receiver.

[@Benpullenergy]

@@FlyEnri Thank you.

[@lindabrandt4005]

what lavalier mic is compatible with the Rode ME

[@FlyEnri]

Any lav mic will work dear! I like a lot the Boya, very good cost benefit. The Rode lavs are very good if you're willing to invest on it, but I sincerely don't find them to sound significantly better. Then there are some options above like Seinnheiser and these have really much better sound, but cost a kidney like we say in Brazil, hahahahaha

They could do like DJI with the drone combos, if you buy separately it's a bit more expensive, but altogether you get a discounted price.That could probably work!
