The transmitters have internal memory that can store over 24 hours of audio. This acts as a safety backup, ensuring you have a clean recording even if you experience wireless interference or signal dropouts during your shoot.
The built-in rechargeable batteries provide up to 7 hours of continuous operation. You can easily recharge them using a standard USB-C power source.
Yes, the dual-channel receiver allows you to record two separate audio sources simultaneously. You can choose to record them to a single mono track or separate stereo tracks for more flexibility during post-production.
The Wireless GO II uses Series IV 2.4GHz digital transmission with 128-bit encryption. This provides a stable, interference-free connection up to 200 meters in line-of-sight conditions, even in environments with high Wi-Fi or Bluetooth activity.
When enabled, the safety channel records a second track at -20dB alongside your main audio. If your primary audio clips or distorts due to a sudden loud noise, you have a clean, lower-volume backup to use in your edit.
