My Top Pick Among Wireless Microphones
Unlock Boundless Audio Freedom with the Versatility of the Rode Wireless Mic Go II
I’m really excited to share with you some awesome ways to make the most out of your wireless microphone setup. These devices can be a bit on the expensive side, especially for folks like me, but I was convinced that investing in quality gear was worth it. After all, when it comes to products like Rode’s wireless microphones, you’re paying for that unparalleled crisp audio that can truly elevate your recordings. So, let me share my experiences and tips on maximizing the potential of this Rode Wireless Mic Go II.
You see, I’ve been using this wireless mic setup for about a year now, and in that time, I’ve stumbled upon some nifty use cases that can truly up your audio game. Initially, like many, my go-to was to plug the wireless mic into my camera for top-notch audio quality on my recordings. But along the way, I’ve discovered some innovative ways to expand the horizons of this equipment.
Let’s kick things off with a game-changer:
- Did you know you can actually connect your Rode Wireless Mic Go II to your smartphone? Yep, whether you’re rocking an Android or iOS device, you can plug the receiver right into your phone and use the transmitter to capture crystal-clear audio while shooting videos. This is particularly handy when you need to maintain a certain distance from your phone, whether you’re indoors or out in the open.

- Second, don’t limit your wireless mic setup to just cameras and smartphones. I’ve recently started using it with my computer, especially for voiceovers. When I’m in the editing zone, I simply plug the transmitter into my computer, and it’s recognized as an audio device. This means I can move around freely while maintaining that high-quality audio capture. It’s been a game-changer for my video editing, particularly with software like Adobe Premiere. No more worrying about being tethered by cables during voiceovers.

- And speaking of being untethered, how about online meetings? Whether it’s a Google Meet or a Zoom call, your Rode Wireless Mic Go II can step in as your audio companion. These platforms detect it as an audio device, allowing you to move around while having seamless conversations. It’s been a revelation for me during classes and online meetings. I can engage in discussions while on the move, adding a whole new layer of flexibility to these virtual interactions.

- But the versatility doesn’t stop there. Imagine being on stage without a conventional microphone restricting your movements while addressing a crowd of around 200 people. I actually did this recently. I asked if I could use my Rode Wireless Mic instead of the traditional stage mic. They connected the receiver to the audio system, and I was free to roam, gesture, and engage the audience fully. The sound quality was outstanding, crisp and clear, reaching every corner of the room.


- And let’s not forget the portability factor. The Rode Wireless Mic Go II is a compact powerhouse. With two transmitters and a receiver, you’re always ready, whether you’re flying solo or teaming up with someone else. The battery life is impressive too, giving you around 3 hours of continuous use. Plus, you can charge the receiver as you use it.

So, there you have it. A versatile, portable, and exceptional wireless microphone setup that can transform the way you capture audio. Whether you’re shooting videos, doing voiceovers, participating in online meetings, or even commanding a stage, the Rode Wireless Mic Go II proves its worth every step of the way.
