What customers say
The Rode Wireless GO II is widely regarded as the industry standard for portable wireless audio due to its exceptional utility and reliability. Users consistently praise its compact design and robust build quality. The standout feature is dual channel recording, which greatly benefits interviews and two person content. The internal recording function offers crucial backup against signal issues, providing significant peace of mind. Setup is straightforward, making it accessible for all skill levels.

Know before you buy
Yes, the Wireless GO II is a dual-channel system, meaning it can receive and record audio from both transmitters simultaneously. You can record them to separate tracks or mix them together depending on your needs.
The system is designed for universal compatibility and includes the necessary cables for USB-C and 3.5mm connections. For iOS devices with a Lightning port, you may need an additional RODE SC15 or SC19 cable.
On-board recording acts as a safety backup. If you experience wireless interference or a signal drop during a shoot, the transmitters record the audio directly to their internal memory, ensuring you don't lose your footage.
The transmitters and receiver provide up to 7 hours of battery life. Keep in mind that heavy use of the on-board recording feature may slightly reduce this duration.
Yes, each transmitter features a 3.5mm input, allowing you to plug in external lavalier microphones if you prefer a more discreet setup than the built-in microphone.
The 200-meter range is measured in clear line-of-sight conditions. In dense RF environments or areas with many obstacles, you should expect a shorter effective range, though the system is optimized to maintain a stable connection.
