RODE Wireless GO II Single Wireless Microphone System

RODE Wireless GO II Single Wireless Microphone System

The RODE Wireless GO II Single is a compact wireless microphone system with one clip-on transmitter and one dual-channel receiver, made for solo creators who want professional wireless sound for video, interviews and streaming. It uses RODE’s Series IV 2.4 GHz digital transmission with 128-bit encryption for a stable link at up to 200 metres in clear line of sight, and each unit runs for up to 7 hours on its built-in rechargeable battery. The transmitter carries a broadcast-grade omnidirectional microphone and records a backup on board, while the receiver’s bright display shows levels, battery and link status at a glance. The RODE Wireless GO II Single is the one-transmitter version of the Wireless GO II family, keeping the same receiver, display and clip-on form as the dual set.

Why Choose RODE Wireless GO II Single?

Solo creators choose this system because it gives them the full Wireless GO II feature set without paying for a second transmitter they do not yet need. The receiver in the single set is identical to the dual-channel edition, so a second transmitter can be paired later and the kit grows into a two-person system without replacing anything. On-board recording in the transmitter is the safety net that matters most on unrepeatable takes: if the wireless link drops or the camera level is wrong, the transmitter’s own recording can still save the interview. Outputs cover every common device, with a 3.5 mm analogue output for cameras and a USB-C digital output that turns the receiver into a 24-bit/48 kHz audio interface for a computer or phone. Stereo and dual-mono output modes, plus configuration through the free RODE Central app, keep the system flexible as shoots get more ambitious.

Key Features

• Series IV 2.4 GHz digital transmission: encrypted, stable audio at up to 200 m in clear line of sight.

• Dual-channel receiver included: add a second transmitter later for two-person recording.
• Up to 7 hours per charge: built-in rechargeable batteries in transmitter and receiver.
• Universal outputs: 3.5 mm analogue for cameras, USB-C digital for phones and computers.
• Informative receiver display: levels, battery and link status visible while recording.

Best Suited For

The RODE Wireless GO II Single suits vloggers, mobile journalists, wedding filmmakers, educators and corporate presenters who record one speaker at a time. It fits run-and-gun interviews, talking-head videos, live streams and event coverage where the speaker moves and a cable would get in the way. It is also a sensible buy for creators planning two-person content later, since the dual-channel receiver accepts a second transmitter when the time comes. For a solo creator, the RODE Wireless GO II Single keeps the kit list short: one transmitter, one receiver, and no second channel to monitor. It is less suited to shoots that need two speakers from day one, or to productions requiring timecode sync or 32-bit float backup recording, which belong to higher-tier systems. Buyers who only ever record one voice will find the RODE Wireless GO II Single the more economical route into the Wireless GO II family.

Setup and Connection Guide

Charge the transmitter and receiver over USB-C before the shoot. Clip the transmitter to the speaker and connect the receiver to your device: 3.5 mm cable into a camera’s microphone input, or USB-C into a phone or computer. Power both units on and they pair automatically; confirm the link on the receiver display and record a short test to set the camera or app level. Enable on-board recording through RODE Central if you want the transmitter backup, and choose stereo or dual-mono output to suit your edit. With on-board recording enabled, the RODE Wireless GO II Single keeps a backup of the take on the transmitter itself, so a brief wireless dropout does not cost the interview. For interviews, a lavalier microphone can be plugged into the transmitter’s 3.5 mm input instead of using the built-in microphone. Keep line of sight where possible, since walls and crowded radio environments reduce the usable range of any 2.4 GHz system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the RODE Wireless GO II Single and the Dual set?

The Single set has one transmitter and the same dual-channel receiver as the Dual set, which has two transmitters. The Single is for one speaker now, with the option to add a second transmitter later for two-person recording.

Does the Wireless GO II Single record audio on its own?

Yes. The transmitter can record a backup on board to its internal memory, configured and exported through RODE Central. This backup is separate from the audio sent to your camera or computer.

Can the Wireless GO II Single connect to a phone and a camera?

Yes. The receiver offers a 3.5 mm analogue output for cameras and a USB-C digital output for smartphones, tablets and computers, so the same kit serves both kinds of shoot.
