RODE Wireless GO II 2-Person Compact Digital Wireless Microphone System/Recorder

The Rode Wireless Go II system is an upgraded version of the original Wireless Go, offering enhanced features for two-person shoots, onboard recording, extended range, and flexible output options. This black wireless microphone system is designed to provide videographers, vloggers, and mobile journalists with seamless wireless audio integration, regardless of their experience level or recording device.

With secure Series IV 2.4 GHz digital transmission, the Wireless Go II ensures reliable performance and easy operation. The system includes built-in mics (lavalier mics sold separately) and delivers high-quality audio up to a range of 656 feet. The user-friendly design eliminates complicated menus and controls, providing straightforward power-on-and-go functionality. The informative LCD screen offers clear visibility of essential information. For advanced features and customization, the Rode companion app allows easy access and control.

Key Upgrades in Version II:
– Dual-channel system, supporting two transmitters simultaneously for low-latency (3.5 to 4 ms) two-person shoots.
– Rode Central companion app (compatible with Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android) provides powerful features and device customization, including onboard transmitter recording, safety track recording in dual mono mode, file playback and export, and more.
– Each transmitter offers onboard audio recording with up to seven hours of uncompressed recording (24-bit / 48 kHz WAV) or 24 hours of compressed recording. The app allows exporting files in various formats, including MP3 or WAV (16-, 24-, or 32-bit float) with date, time stamp, and automatic markers for broken transmitter-receiver links.

The Wireless Go II supports stereo or dual-mono output modes, allowing separate recording for each transmitter or mixed recording to left and right channels. The app enables the activation of safety track recording (-20 dB on the right channel). In addition to the traditional 3.5mm TRS analog output, the receiver includes a USB Type-C digital audio output for use as a 24-bit / 48 kHz audio interface. This allows connectivity to computers, iOS devices via the Rode SC15 cable, or USB Type-C-equipped devices with the Rode SC16 cable.

The Series IV technology provides an extended line-of-sight range of approximately 656 feet, improved signal strength in crowded wireless environments, and the ability to operate both transmitters without compromising range performance.

Powerful Customization:
– “Always” Recording Mode ensures continuous recording from the moment the transmitter is switched on.
– “Backup” Recording Mode starts recording when the transmitter connects to the receiver and stops when the receiver is switched off.
– Activatable input pads on the transmitters prevent distortion from loud talkers.
– Adjustable LED brightness for optimal visibility in various shooting environments.
– Transmitter power button functionality can be customized to mute the input, add markers to onboard recordings, or deactivate the button.

Out of the box, the Wireless Go II offers easy setup and immediate functionality for news shoots, video projects, or interviews. Its compact and lightweight design makes it portable and convenient for mobile journalists, videographers, and vloggers. The miniature transmitters can be clipped to clothing, attached to a belt, or placed in a pocket. The receiver features an integrated clip and can be mounted on a camera, in a sound bag, or connected to a mobile device.

Equipped with a built-in omnidirectional lavalier microphone, the Wireless Go II delivers reliable audio pickup with clarity and consistency. It also features a 3.5mm TRS input for connecting external lavalier microphones. The Wireless Go II operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency band, providing a strong signal, long-range capability (up to 656 feet), and 128-bit encryption for secure and stable transmission.

The system is compatible with Rode Connect software, enabling broadcast-grade sound capture and integration with various content creation setups. It supports up to four systems simultaneously for more complex setups and includes the necessary cables for easy connection to cameras, DSLRs, portable audio recorders, smartphones, and tablets. The internal lithium-ion polymer batteries offer up to seven hours of battery life and can be conveniently recharged via USB Type-C ports.

Additionally, the Wireless Go II comes with furry windshields to minimize wind and clothing noise, and the secure screw-lock bayonet attachment ensures a reliable fit.
