The Røde Wireless GO II is a new ultra-compact and extremely versatile dual channel wireless microphone system. Offering the same pocket-sized form factor and professional sound quality as the original Wireless GO series, the new series features an extended transmission range of 200m (line of sight), a 3.5mm TRS output for connecting to cameras, and USB-C digital audio output for connecting to phones, tablets and computers, plus on-board recording, flexible gain controls, safety channel, feature control and firmware updates via the new Røde Central app, and much more. And all products continue to be designed and made in Røde's state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Sydney, Australia.
The original Wireless GO, released in 2019, introduced an innovative form factor, with its unique clip ‘n’ go versatility, and in-built microphone offering truly wireless recording. It was practical, the results were convincing, and it changed the way mobile creators and journalists captured sound for video. The Wireless GO II evolves to dual channel recording, expands on universal compatibility with cameras, mobile devices and computers, and offers an extended range and improved transmission stability, with on-board recording capabilities.

The Røde Wireless GO II uses an all-new Series IV 2.4GHz digital transmission system with 128-bit encryption that delivers an extended range of up to 200m (line of sight), optimized for extremely stable operation in dense RF environments. Each kit contains two transmitters and a single receiver, allowing users to capture two sound sources simultaneously – perfect for a wide range of filmmaking scenarios, from recording interviews to two-person vlogs. It can also be used as a single channel wireless microphone for recording just one sound source.
The Wireless GO II features a 3.5mm analog TRS output for plugging into cameras, plus a digital audio output via USB-C for plugging into smartphones, tablets and even computers. This universal compatibility with any device makes the Wireless GO II extremely versatile, ideal for everyone from filmmakers to YouTubers to business professionals.
Another groundbreaking feature is its on-board recording capability. The Wireless GO II can record over 24 hours of audio directly to each transmitter (without the need for an SD card), ensuring a backup recording is always available in post-production in case of transmission dropouts and other audio issues. This feature is activated via Røde Central, a new app that gives users access to firmware updates and advanced features for the Wireless GO II. In addition to on-board recording, these include activation of the safety channel, which records a second track at -20dB in case the main channel distorts, a fine gain control that expands the three-stage pad to a 10-stage pad, and more. The Wireless GO II is the first Røde product to utilize Røde Central, with the VideoMic NTG, AI-1 and others to be integrated in future.
Other key features of the Wireless GO II include the ability to switch between mono and stereo modes, allowing users to record each transmitter separately or combine the two for ultimate flexibility in post-production, a mute button, in-built rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that last up to 7 hours, and more.

The transmitters and receiver feature the same unique clip design as the original, which make them incredibly easy to clip onto talent and mount onto a DSLR or mirrorless camera, mobile camera rig, boom pole or cold shoe accessory. This also means the extensive range of Wireless GO accessories work with the Wireless GO II, including the Interview GO and MagClip GO.
Each Wireless GO II kit ships with a flat TRS memory cable for plugging into cameras and three USB-C to USB-A cables for connecting to computers for charging and recording (additional Røde cables or adaptors are required for connecting to mobile devices and computers with USB-C inputs). There is also a handy carry pouch for keeping the kit tidy and secure.
