Whereas the original Wireless GO employed a single channel, version II is a dual-channel system, capable of handling two transmitters at the same time for simple, two-person shoots with low latency (3.5 to 4 ms).
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.
Via the app, each transmitter provides an onboard audio recorder offering up to seven hours of uncompressed recording (24-bit / 48 kHz WAV) or 24 hours of compressed recording, perfect for worry-free backup recording or a fast and easy way to capture sound from your subjects. Export files in various formats such as MP3 or WAV (16-, 24-, or 32-bit float) with date and time stamp information as well as automatic markers anywhere the transmitter-receiver link was broken.
Since the Wireless GO II 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 (-20 dB on the right channel).
In addition to the traditional 3.5mm TRS analog output, the Wireless GO II receiver has a USB Type-C digital audio output for operation as a 24-bit / 48 kHz audio interface. This can be connected to a computer with the supplied USB Type-C to USB Type-A cable, to the Lightning port of an iOS mobile device via the Rode SC15 cable, or to the USB Type-C port of a laptop, iPad Pro, or Android mobile device with the Rode SC16 cable (SC15 and SC16 cables available separately).
The new Series IV technology extends the line-of-sight operating range of the Wireless GO II to approximately 656' compared to the 230' maximum range of the original Wireless GO. It also offers increased signal strength in crowded wireless environments. Plus, the system is designed to run both transmitters without affecting the range performance.
Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. Does the Rode Wireless Go II transmit the audio between the transmitter and the receiver in 24bit or 32bit?
A: The Rode Wireless Go II performs A/D conversion at 24-bit resolution, and 24-bit audio is transmitted to the receiver.
Q: 2. why are there so many questions beibg asked here?
A: BC it is a new product, at a reasonable price and expectations are high that the product will perform as well as the original Rode Wireless Go which is a single channel system.
Q: 3. Can you buy just one transmitter? I lost one of mine and didn't know if it were possible to replace just one
A: Yes, you can purchase just the transmitter for the RODE Wireless GO II 2-Person Compact Digital Wireless Microphone System/Recorder (2.4 GHz, Black). Here's where you can find it: https://bhpho.to/3SzFuHF.
Q: 4. Does this work with zoom h6 audio recorder? How would you separate tracks on zoom h6 xlr?
A: CORRECTION: THE RODE Go ii receiver allows EITHER a mixed Mono our OR a Stereo feed, which may be sent to recorders, with a cable such as: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1040095-REG/kopul_smyc_m2xm03_y_cable_stereo_mini.html Or https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/748827-REG/Sescom_SES_IPOD_XLRM06_SES_IPOD_XLRM06_3_5mm_Stereo_to.html
Q: 5. The original Wireless Go timed out and shut down after 15 minutes if not connected together. Do these auto turn off after X minutes as well?
A: Yes, this one too times out after 15 minutes of inactivity if there is no wireless link
Q: 6. How long can the transmitter record audio in stand-alone mode and where is the file stored?
A: The transmitter in the Rode Wireless GO II Single 1-Person Compact Digital Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System/Recorder Kit can record and store over 40 hours of compressed audio and up to seven hours of uncompressed WAV format audio in 48k/24-bit. In Uncompressed recording mode, the Wireless GO II records audio in blocks that are 30 minutes and 44 seconds in length. When the internal storage is full, the unit will continue to record, overwriting the oldest recorded block so you always have the most recent audio available, with no need to delete files or format the storage. For this reason, it is best to back up and offload your audio from the transmitter after each recording session.
Q: 7. Will it work with Canon R5?
A: Yes, the Rode wireless go II system will connect via 3.5mm jack to the Canon R5 system.
Q: 8. Can I link one transmitter to two receivers?
A: No. This is only (up to) two transmitters to one receiver.
Q: 9. Is this system expandable?
A: The Rode Wireless GO II Single 1-Person Compact Digital Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System/Recorder Kit comes with a single transmitter, but the Wireless GO II receiver does have two channels so it can be used with two transmitters. Rode does sell the Wireless GO II System with two transmitters, but at this time Rode does not offer the transmitter for purchase separately, so it is not possible to order a second transmitter and easily expand a system that was purchased with a single transmitter. For that reason it is best (and more economical) to purchase the system with two transmitters now if you will want to use it to record audio from two people. The other option is to purchase another complete Wireless GO II System later to accommodate a second person. The Rode Wireless GO II 2-Person Compact Digital Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System/Recorder Kit (B&H # ROWGIIK) is the same kit with two transmitters and two Rode Lavalier GO Microphones.
Q: 10. I want to use this with iPhone X, and be able to charge the iPhone (via lightning cable) and monitor sound being recorded. Possible? If so, do you sell accessories required to do this?
A: You could try using the Apple Lightning to USB 3.0 Type-A Camera Adapter (B&H # APMK0W2AMA) which has a female USB Type-A port for the input, a female Lightning port for charging, and a male Lightning connector to plug into your iPhone. Connect the USB-C output from the Rode Wireless GO II Receiver to the female USB port on the Apple adapter using a USB Type-A to USB Type-C cable like those included with the Wireless GO II System. When using the USB-C output from the Wireless GO Receiver, the 3.5mm output will function as a headphone jack to monitor the audio while recording. This setup may provide a simple solution with all of the connections that you are looking for.
