If the original Rode Wireless Go was a gamechanger I don’t think there are words for what Rode has just announced with the Rode Wireless Go II, a single receiver with two transmitters for multi-talent shoots, with a range of new features set to impress.
Made in Australia, the Rode Wireless Go II has the same form factor as the original, but the receiver is now capable of connecting to the two included transmitters.
Those transmitters have a built-in microphone, but are able to have a lapel mic connected also.
Perhaps critically, the receiver now has compatibility for USB-C connections to smartphones or computers.
That means you can have two presenters talking on a video recorded on your Smartphone (using a USB-C to USB-C or USB-C to Lightning cable – sold separately), or have two people talking “on mic” on your Zoom call!
That’s great – but that’s not even the best thing.
Each transmitter has built-in storage, which acts as a backup for you should you have any audio issues with your camera recording, or the range proves problematic in any way.
But wait – there’s more. Did you set the gain too high? Is the input volume set wrong on your camera? No probs, you can enable a “Safety recording” which is again stored no the transmitter and recorded at -20dB.
Here’s what Rode CEO Damien Wilson had to say “The original Wireless GO was a gamechanger,”
“It truly revolutionised sound capture for everyone from vloggers to business professionals producing content while working from home. The form factor and feature set had never been seen before and many have attempted – and failed – to replicate it since.”
Just let that settle in – here are the key features of the new Rode Wireless Go II:
The Rode Wireless GO II will retail in Australia for $419, and in the US for $299
