Product Information
Full details
The RØDE Wireless GO (Gen 3) is a powerful, ultra-compact wireless microphone system designed for filmmakers, content creators, and journalists who require professional-grade audio mobility. Its primary advantage is the integration of 32-bit float on-board recording, which acts as a safety net against clipped or quiet audio, ensuring you never miss a perfect take. While the system is exceptionally versatile and easy to use, users should note that the extensive feature set, particularly the 32-bit float workflow, requires a brief learning curve to master in post-production software.

Troubleshooting
Audio is clipping or distorted
Enable 32-bit float recording to recover the audio in post-production and adjust the gain via the receiver settings.
System will not pair automatically
Ensure both units are within close proximity and hold the pairing button on both devices simultaneously until the LED indicators flash.

Ensure a direct line of sight between the transmitter and receiver and remove potential sources of 2.4 GHz interference like Wi-Fi routers.
