Rode Wireless Go II

February 2021, RØDE announced the Wireless GO II, a follow-up to the very popular Wireless Go that was released in April 2019.





What's the same?

  • Same pocket-size form factor.  
  • Same weight. Receiver 32g and transmitters at 31g each.
  • Same built-in omnidirectional condenser mic on the transmitters. 
  • Same clip design. 
  • Built-in 3.5 mm mic input jack. 
What's new? 
  • New dual-channel recording.
  • Extended range and improved transmission stability. 200m from 70m. 
  • On-board recording capabilities. 
  • Flexible Gain Control. 
  • Safety Channel. 
  • RØDE Central app. 
  • Universal compatibility with cameras, mobile devices, and computers. 
  • More information on the built-in Receiver display. 
Wow! It's just like the Mirfak Audio WE10 that I recently reviewed... https://youtu.be/ASWu2bOskLc


I just need to find out what is safety channel and central app.

I believe the Rode version will be more expensive too. 

  • No need SD card for recording 
  • Battery indicators for all 3 units. 
  • Optional SC15 USB-C to Lightning cable for recording into smartphones. 
  • 200m range vs 50m for WE10.
  • A central app for firmware updates and control. (App for computer only, not for smartphone - a big issue I see here!)
  • The safety channel records at -20db in case the main channel distorts. Wow! I needed this a long long time ago. (Works only in stereo recording mode, not mono, and for one TX at a time).
With the new features, iI would rather get the Rode Wireless Go II even if I don't need the second transmitter for vlogging and streaming. 

Price? US$299
