Low Sensitivity Mode

Sometimes it may be necessary to reduce the sensitivity of the Wireless GO II's in-built microphone, so we have included the option to activate a pad for the input of the transmitters.

To activate the pad, simply toggle the 'Pad' button in RØDE Central. You can also activate the pad from the receiver by selecting the transmitter using the pair button (‘∞‘), followed by a long press on the ‘dB’ button. Note: a short press will activate the mute function, so take care to hold the button until the pad symbol appears on the receiver display.

This feature is particularly useful when using the transmitter with the Interview GO handheld adapter, where it may be used very close to the mouth. The pad function also affects the 3.5mm microphone input if you are using an external lavalier.

LED Brightness

You can reduce the brightness of the LEDs on the transmitter via RØDE Central. Connect the transmitter to your computer and open RØDE Central. Select the transmitter, click the settings cog and toggle the ‘LEDs’ button to switch between 'Bright' and 'Dim' mode.

Transmitter Power Button Mode

You can change the function controlled with a short press on the power (‘Ø’) button on the transmitter via RØDE Central. There are three options available: 'Mute', 'Marker', or 'None'.

In ‘Mute’ mode, a short press of the button will mute the microphone, and another short press will unmute it. The mute status is displayed on the receiver screen (note that the mute function has no effect on the on-board recording when in ‘Always' recording mode). In ‘Marker’ mode, a short press on the button will drop a marker into the internal recording, which is useful if you need to locate a specific section of audio in post-production. 'None' mode deactivates the button.

Using RØDE Central Mobile

To configure your Wireless GO II using RØDE Central Mobile, turn on the receiver and two transmitters and ensure they are paired, then plug the receiver into your mobile device.

The app has dedicated sections for the receiver and transmitters where you can control all the functions as you would on the desktop app.

For the receiver you can:

  • Activate/deactivate power saver mode
  • Activate/deactivate the fine gain control and change the gain setting
  • Switch between ‘Merged’ and ‘Split’ recording mode
  • Change the power button function (backlight mode or marker drop)
  • Activate the safety channel

For the transmitters, you can:

  • Configure the on-board recording function (‘Always’, ‘Backup’, ‘Off)
  • Activate the input pad
  • Dim the LEDs
  • Change the power button function (mute, marker drop or none)
  • Switch between compressed and uncompressed recording mode

See above for more information on these functions.

Any changes you make to transmitter settings using the app will be transferred wirelessly via the receiver. Once you’ve made your changes, simply hit ‘Apply’ to beam the new settings to the transmitters.

For Android users, you can also connect the transmitters directly to your phone to adjust the settings individually.

You can also use the app to access your device information by tapping the ‘info’ icon and check the battery life for each unit.

Note: you cannot access and export recordings via the RØDE Central mobile app. This is far more easily managed via the desktop app as your computer has significantly more storage space and more powerful editing capabilities.
