RODE Wireless GO (Gen 3) 2-Person Compact Digital Wireless Microphone System/Recorder (2.4 GHz, Black)

With more powerful features that are easier to use than ever before, the black RODE Wireless GO (Gen 3) system lets videographers, vloggers, and mobile journalists quickly and confidently record two on-camera personalities to a mobile device or camera and get professional sounding, broadcast-ready results.

Boasting secure Series IV 2.4 GHz digital transmission, easy operability, transmitters with built-in mics (lavalier mics available separately), and a dual-channel receiver, the system is ready to go at the press of a button; you can focus on getting the shot knowing that the Wireless GO is delivering quality audio at a range of up to 853 feet. What's more, the addition of 32-bit float backup recording eliminates digital clipping, providing an extra layer of security. There are no menus and no finicky dials, just simple power-on-and-go functionality and a bright, informative LCD screen, showing you what you need to see. When you're ready for more, use the Rode Central companion app to access a powerful feature set and extended customization of settings.

32-bit float recording: the enormous dynamic range provided by the 32-bit float backup recording on the transmitters means you never have to worry about digital clipping. As long as the signal isn't coming in too loud for the microphone, you can rest assured that the transmitter's digital recording will be pristine. In addition, low-level recordings can be normalized to usable levels without adding noise.

Longer recording time: with 32GB of memory, each transmitter is capable of up to 40 hours of 32-bit float backup recording.

Upgraded mics: the built-in mics on the transmitters have been upgraded and now feature the same ones as the Wireless PRO models for improved clarity and intelligibility with less risk of overloading at the capsule, helping to ensure the cleanest possible audio at the point of capture.

Locking 3.5mm mic inputs: the transmitters now sport locking 3.5mm input jacks for extra security when using external lavalier mics (external mics available separately).

Intelligent GainAssist: RODE's intelligent GainAssist technology automatically sets the receiver's output levels to your camera based on how loud your subject is, eliminating the guesswork and freeing you up to focus on making great content.  Of course, you can choose to manually adjust the output levels with a 30 dB range at your disposal. Gain presets for various cameras are also available.

Extended range: the third-generation Wireless GO features updated Series IV wireless technology, providing a whopping 853' wireless transmission range from the transmitters to the receiver compared to the 656' maximum range of the Wireless GO II. It also offers increased signal strength in crowded wireless environments. Plus, the system is designed to run both transmitters without affecting the range performance.

Headphone monitoring: with a high-power headphone amp built into the receiver, you can connect a pair of headphones to the 3.5mm output jack and monitor both of your transmitters as they record.

3.5mm TRRS output jack: the receiver's TRRS output jack means you can connect a third mic via this jack when using the system's USB output for recording. The additional mic could be a headset mic or a lavalier that supports TRRS connectivity.

Improved display: enjoy improved clarity and definition from the receiver's upgraded display. This makes it easier than ever to check your levels and see the recording status and other key information immediately.

Dedicated recording buttons: each transmitter offers a dedicated recording button, giving you complete control over when recording starts and stops.

Clip each miniature transmitter to clothing, attach it to a belt, or slide it in a pocket; use it as a lavalier mic (no need for a separate mic), or operate it as a traditional bodypack transmitter with an external lav mic such as the Rode Lavalier II (available separately).

Thanks to the receiver's minute form factor and integrated clip, it provides the flexibility to be easily mounted on a camera, in a sound bag, or to a mobile device. Its bright, high-contrast display shows battery status for the receiver and transmitter, audio level, signal strength, and more.

Use the Rode Central companion app (Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android compatible) to unlock powerful features and device customization�onboard transmitter recording, configurable safety track recording in dual mono mode, file playback and export, and more.

Since the Wireless GO can handle two transmitters at once, it features the ability to switch between stereo or dual-mono output modes. This enables each transmitter, and therefore each subject, to be recorded to a separate channel. Alternatively, signal from both transmitters can be mixed together and recorded identically to left and right channels. Use the app to activate safety track recording (-10 dB on the right channel).

In addition to the traditional 3.5mm TRRS analog output for headphone monitoring or camera connection via the included SC2 TRS to TRS cable, the Wireless GO receiver has a USB-C digital audio output for operation as a digital audio interface. This can be connected to a computer or mobile device with the supplied SC22 USB-C to USB-C cable or to the Lightning port of an iOS mobile device via the supplied SC21 Lightning cable.

Always recording mode: when this mode is activated, the transmitter will start recording audio as soon as it is switched on. It will continue recording until it is switched off, regardless of the status of the receiver. This means that you will have a continuous recording from the moment the transmitter is switched on, making this mode suitable for using the Wireless GO as a standalone field recorder.

Manual recording mode: in this mode, on-board recordings are started and stopped when you press the record button on the transmitter.

Off: switching off the recording function means the transmitter will not record any audio. Existing recordings will remain on the unit until manually deleted using Rode Central.

Activatable input pads on the transmitters engage low-sensitivity mode to avoid distortion when dealing with loud talkers.

LED brightness adjustment for the transmitters allows optimal visibility in any shooting environment.

Equipped with a high-caliber, pre-polarized, omnidirectional lavalier built into the transmitter's compact housing, the Wireless GO (Gen 3) delivers quality audio without demanding a separate microphone (external lavalier mics optional).

The internal capsule's omnidirectional polar pattern ensures reliable audio pickup, even if mic placement is less than ideal; your subject's voice will be captured with clarity, intelligibility, and consistency.

Already have an external lav? The transmitter packs in a 3.5mm TRS input with plug-in power, so you can connect most lavalier mics equipped with a locking 3.5mm TRS mini plug (such as Rode's own Lavalier II, available separately), and still enjoy the convenience of the Wireless GO.

The 3.5mm TRS external mic input passes wideband audio along to the internal mic preamp, which provides requires no manipulation of settings.

Like Rode's popular RODELink wireless systems, the Wireless GO system utilizes the 2.4 GHz frequency band to get you away from the confusing and often congested UHF spectrum. Forget about scanning for channels and dialing in squelch to get a strong signal; the Wireless GO just works!

Courtesy of Rode's optimized transmission algorithm, the Wireless GO (Gen 3) empowers you with a line-of-sight range of up to 853 feet, and it bolsters signal dependability to mitigate drop-outs in crowded short-range environments such as retail stores, malls, office buildings, and hotels.

Rode's Series IV 2.4 GHz digital transmission incorporates 128-bit encryption for security, stability, and hassle-free operation while bypassing the frustration of dealing with licenses and frequency mandates. Go anywhere in the world with the Wireless GO; it automatically gives you a strong signal no matter the scenario.

Note: For optimal performance from this 2.4 GHz system, users are encouraged to maintain as direct a line of sight as possible between the transmitter and receiver.

The Wireless GO can be fully integrated with Rode Connect software, allowing you to capture broadcast-grade sound for your content with more freedom and flexibility than ever before, perfect for IRL streaming, recording presentations or classes, and more.

Using the Wireless GO with Rode Connect is also ideal for podcasting applications where you require the freedom of wireless audio, from recording interviews to casual podcasting setups.

Rode Connect allows two Wireless GOs to be connected to a single computer. Each transmitter can be allocated to its own channel for a total of four separate wireless audio streams, each with an individual level meter as well as solo and mute buttons. The Wireless GO III can also be used in conjunction with the NT-USB Mini within Rode Connect.

• The receiver's 3.5mm TRS output sends a mic-level signal, making it compatible with an array of devices such as DSLRs and portable audio recorders.
• A 3-stage level control (0, -12, or -24 dB) on the receiver allows simple and effective optimization of signal levels. Use the app to adjust the level in 3 dB increments from 0 to -30 dB.
• View transmitter and receiver battery levels on the receiver's bright, high-contrast display.
• Internal lithium-ion polymer batteries offer up to seven hours of battery life to handle long shoots.
• The receiver features plug-in power detection. If your camera offers plug-in power, the receiver will automatically switch to it and conserve battery life. The receiver will automatically power on/off with your camera.
• USB-C ports for battery recharging, powering via external USB battery packs (available separately), and firmware updates.
• Easily recharge over lunch and dinner breaks�go from empty to a full charge in just two hours.
• Includes an SC33 charging hub for simultaneously charging the transmitters and receiver.
• Includes three furry windshields to minimize noise from wind and rustling clothes. These feature a secure screw-lock bayonet attachment method to eliminate slippage.
• Add on-the-go powering with the Charge Case+ (available separately) which provides two full system recharges for a total of 21 hours of use without AC power.
