Product details

The Rode Wireless GO II is a dual-channel wireless microphone system designed for content creators, filmmakers, and videographers who need a compact and easy-to-use wireless audio solution. It is an updated version of the popular Rode Wireless GO system, offering enhanced features and functionality. Here are the key features and specifications of the Rode Wireless GO II:

1. Dual-Channel Capability: The Wireless GO II features two transmitters and a single receiver, allowing you to simultaneously record audio from two separate sources. This is especially useful for capturing interviews, two-person dialogue, or multiple audio sources in a single recording.

2. Ultra-Compact Design: The wireless system maintains the compact and lightweight form factor of the original Wireless GO, making it highly portable and easy to use. The transmitters have built-in microphones, eliminating the need for external lavalier microphones in certain scenarios.

3. Built-in Microphones: Each transmitter unit of the Wireless GO II includes a high-quality built-in omnidirectional microphone. This provides convenience and flexibility when recording audio without the need for additional microphones.

4. External Microphone Support: In addition to the built-in microphones, the transmitters have a 3.5mm TRS input that allows you to connect external lavalier microphones or other audio sources.

5. Updated Digital Transmission: The Wireless GO II utilizes a Series IV 2.4GHz digital transmission with a range of up to 200 meters (656 feet) in optimal conditions. The digital transmission offers increased reliability and minimizes interference from other wireless devices.

6. On-Board Recording: Each transmitter has onboard recording capabilities, allowing you to capture audio locally on the transmitters themselves. This acts as a backup in case of dropouts or if the receiver is out of range.

7. Rechargeable Batteries: Both the transmitters and receiver are powered by built-in lithium-ion batteries that are rechargeable via USB-C. The batteries provide up to 7 hours of operation on a single charge.

8. Easy Setup and Operation: The Wireless GO II is designed for quick and hassle-free setup. It features a simple one-touch pairing process and offers intuitive controls for adjusting audio levels and settings.

9. Compatibility: The system is compatible with cameras, smartphones, and other recording devices with a 3.5mm microphone input or through the use of an appropriate adapter or cable.

The world’s smallest and first truly wireless microphone has been reborn. The Wireless GO II is an ultra-compact and extremely versatile wireless microphone system consisting of a dual channel receiver and two transmitters. Incorporating the same unique form factor and professional sound quality as the original Wireless GO with groundbreaking, patent-pending technology, the Wireless GO II is the perfect microphone for a wide range of content creation applications.

The Wireless GO II boasts a range of powerful features, including universal compatibility with cameras, mobile devices and computers, extended range (200m line of sight) and improved transmission stability, on-board recording capabilities, and much more. This is next generation wireless audio.

Unmatched Versatility

The Wireless GO II takes wireless versatility to new heights. Featuring a 3.5mm TRS analog output for plugging into cameras, plus a digital audio output via USB-C for plugging into smartphones, tablets and computers, it is perfect for content creation, filmmaking, on-camera or on-stage presentations, vlogging, YouTubing, livestreaming and more.

On-board recording means you never have to worry about dropouts or audio issues again, while the flexible gain control lets you precisely tailor the output to your device. The Wireless GO II also offers the option to record each channel separately or combine the two, ensuring ultimate flexibility in post-production.

Ultra-Compact Wireless Audio

The Wireless GO II offers the same pocket-sized form factor as the original Wireless GO. The transmitters and receiver weigh less than 32g, taking up virtually no space in a camera kit bag, backpack, handbag or briefcase. It also comes supplied with a handy carry pouch to keep everything tidy and secure. The Wireless GO II's unique clip design makes it quick and easy to mount onto clothing or a camera cold shoe, mobile camera rig, boom pole, or any cold shoe accessory – ultra-compact wireless audio for any recording situation.

Professional Sound. Seamless Connectivity

The Wireless GO II has been designed to deliver professional-quality sound while being incredibly simple to use. The transmitters and receiver come auto paired, ensuring a seamless set-up process every time. RØDE’s Series IV 2.4GHz digital transmission with 128-bit encryption delivers a range of up to 200m (line of sight) and is optimised for extremely stable operation in areas with a high level of RF activity, including dense urban environments, shopping malls, universities, convention centres and offices.

Each transmitter features a high-quality in-built omnidirectional condenser capsule for completely wireless recording, plus a 3.5mm TRS input for plugging in a lavalier microphone. The Wireless GO II is also supplied with twist-and-lock furry windshields for recording in windy or adverse weather conditions. Crystal-clear, professional sound in any situation.
