RØDE Wireless GO II (2 TX + 1 RX), Dual-Channel Wireless Microphone

These work as accordion mics! Decent external wireless pickup mics for accordions are hard to find. Even though these are intended as lapel mics, they do the trick and sound good. The fact that the two transmitters go to a single receiver which requires no external power source is super convenient for many performance situations. You can use these with a battery powered amp/speaker and amplify your accordion wirelessly without requiring an electrical outlet at all – ideal for busking. The transmitters have a long range and can be used in strolling performances. In most cases, you will need an eighth inch to quarter inch adapter. For the keyboard side on a piano accordion, use velcro tape to attach one of the transmitters to the lower part of the grille, with the microphone pointing upwards. The high notes will be louder than the lower notes, but overall, the volume will sound more stable over the range of the keyboard than it would if you were to put the transmitter at the top facing down, or in the middle facing toward the keyboard. On the button side, thread a velcro strap through the clip of the other transmitter and strap it to the outer side of the bass strap, so the microphone is pointing upwards. Cut the velcro strap to shorten it if needed so it fits snugly around the bass strap. If you can find a black acrylic paint pen, I recommend painting over the blue lights on the transmitters; you’ll still be able to see the lights to know whether the transmitters are connecting, but they’ll be less glaringly bright on stage. You can use these mics for recording also, but it would only make sense to do so in a live performance setting. For studio recording, it would make more sense to use stationary mics. There are a few limitations to be aware of: 1) You cannot adjust the input gain, only the output gain. If there is noticeable distortion, there is no way to turn down the input gain, you’ll have to find a way to mount the transmitters differently. When I play on the bass side, the receiver indicates that there is some distortion, but it’s subtle enough that it probably wouldn’t be noticed in a performance setting. The sound quality is actually quite good. 2) You cannot adjust the volume of the two mics independently. If the keyboard side is too quiet, the only options are to mess with the EQ on the amp/speaker/mixer or to try adjusting the mic placement. 3) These mics are omnidirectional, which I think is idea for this kind of setup, but you’ll have to be extra careful about feedback issues. I only just finished setting up and testing these mics, with guidance from a sound engineer friend. haven’t used them in performance yet. I will update this review if I encounter any issues. So far they seem like a great option for accordionists to know about.

When I got my Wireless Go IIs, they were not charged out of the box, so I charged them for a couple hours and turned them on. Or, at least, I tried to. The receiver turned on and worked just fine, but neither of the transmitters would do the same. I noticed when I plugged them in, the blue light would blink, and then immediately turn off after a half a second. I looked high and low for an answer, and the included manual did not provide one. Lost and about to return the mics, I emailed Rode support, and they gave me the answer: 1. Download and install the Rode Central app for Windows/Mac 2. Go to the app settings, and press the button that says "Factory reset" 3. The app prompts you to unplug all Rode devices, and then only plug in the one you want to reset (one at a time) 4. Factory reset both of the transmitters. It should also update them to the latest firmware version during the rest 5. Now the transmitters will charge. I honestly did not think this would work. Usually, when the tech support line tells you to make sure your device is updated to the latest version, updating it never works or it's already the latest version. Turns out, my mics were literally two years behind on firmware updates. But, lo and behold, it worked. They instantly starting charging. Again, this is NOT information that is included with the package, it's something I and probably several other buyers had to figure out for themselves. Other than that, these mics are fantastic.

Great quality sound. Output level is a bit too low at receiver end so does need a maximum level setting at the line input of GOMIXER/PRO, to phone Input/ USB-C.

I love the Rode Wireless GO II. The sound quality is super clear, and it's really easy to set up—even for someone who isn’t tech-savvy. The compact design makes it perfect for filming on the go, and the battery life easily lasts through long recording sessions. Definitely a solid choice if you're creating content and want reliable audio without a bunch of cables.

Really a frustrating experience. I charged the transmitter/receiver for 5 hours prior for the first use (they're advertised to be fully charged in 2). After charging and trying to set up to film, neither the transmitter nor receiver would turn on. I did some research and learned it's apparently a very common problem for people with their new wireless go. There's an in depth way to reboot it that includes downloading additional software, so I did that. None of this is included on RØDE's website or their manual, I had to deep dive on reddit. Now that my device finally turned on I tried to film with my phone (connected with a cable they don't include) and was met with more difficulty. My phone wouldn't detect the device and was instead just using the built-in microphone. I couldn't troubleshoot this on my own so I reached out to RØDE customer service. After an unhelpful back and forth, they said it's because I wasn't using ~their~ cables to connect the devices (even though the cables I was using have worked for every electronic in the past). They directed me to RØDE website for the additional purchase, and at that point I gave up and returned it. For $220 it's inexcusable. I wish I could speak to the sound quality but I'll unfortunately never know!

Super compact easy to use. Everything is pretty self explanatory and battery life is great. Only recommendation if you do purchase this is you might want to get a case or some holder for them!

Buen sistema de micrófonos unidos al software de Rode Central, confiables y elementales

This has to be one of the best vlog microphone set ups out there. Amazing sound quality. Great range, very clean and reliable. The battery life is amazing as well. Well worth the money.

Spettacolari, backup interno in alta qualità per non perdere registrazioni, distanza di acquisione alta anche con ostacoli, batteria dura un sacco, mai rimasto a piedi. Apprezzato molto anche il fatto che sia possibile attenuare il livello di registrazione oltre che and amplificare. Funziona anche su smartphone.

J'utilise le RØDE Wireless GO II depuis quelques semaines maintenant pour mes sessions de motovlog et je dois dire que je suis extrêmement satisfait de cet achat. En premier lieu, la qualité sonore est vraiment impressionnante. Le son est clair, net et sans aucune interférence, même à des vitesses élevées. J'étais un peu sceptique au début, mais ces micros m'ont vraiment surpris par leur performance. La portée est également un gros avantage. Je n'ai rencontré aucun problème de déconnexion ou de perte de signal, même lorsque je suis loin de la caméra pour faire les plans de coupe. Le système est très facile à utiliser. L'appairage est un jeu d'enfant et je n'ai eu aucun problème à le connecter à ma caméra. Il est également très compact et léger, ce qui le rend confortable à porter, même pendant de longues périodes. L'autonomie de la batterie est un autre point fort. J'ai pu enregistrer pendant des heures sans avoir besoin de le recharger. C'est vraiment pratique pour les longues sessions de motovlog. Enfin, le système est très robuste et bien construit. Il peut résister à toutes sortes de conditions météorologiques, ce qui est indispensable pour moi. En résumé, le RØDE Wireless GO II est un excellent choix pour tout motovlogueur. C'est un investissement que je ne regrette absolument pas et que je recommande vivement à tous ceux qui cherchent un système audio sans fil de haute qualité pour leurs enregistrements.

This version is not working properly and I keep having issues with the cables both for charging but also to connect them to my laptop. Seems to be an issue with this particular rode device.

As heard and expected, very good quality and function as required. Very happy with the purchase and definitely recommend.
