RODE Wireless GO Dual Mics with the DCS-1 and SC11

In today’s episode, we look at two new accessories from RODE which make it easy to use two RODE Wireless GO microphone kits with your interchangeable lens/mirrorless camera. The DCS-1 makes it easy to mount the two Wireless GO receivers on top of your camera and the SC11 cable allows you to feed the audio from both receivers into your camera’s 3.5mm microphone input jack.

OMG! Have been waiting for this dual mic setup for a long time ! Thanks for this great video!

[Tim-Miller-CMO]

I use these for live shooting on an iPad. In a pinch, I just use a y adapter with a TRRS. Would be so awesome if they updated firmware to have more than 3 db clicks.

Otherwise I'll go into an H6.

Good Job!

Curtis has chosen a protégé. Welcome Emma.
On the separation issue, I'd be curious if separation would improve by having the mics worn on the two inside shoulders and angled away from each other, or to have them distanced more on the two outside shoulders except then they would be angled in towards each other. Hmmm.

[freespiritjourney]

Thank you! That was exactly the information we searched for.

One other tip for mic bleed: by wearing your lav mics as close as possible to the mouth, you can turn down the gain and get more of the person wearing the mic, and less of the other person. A bit less reverb that way, although you will probably get a little more proximity effect (which is nicer than reverb!).

Funny that mention cutting each channel independently when one is speaking and the other isn’t for a short film. I literally did that exact thing when shooting a short film earlier this week 😂 it sounds much better when you mute the channel of the person not talking. My setup is a bit janky though because this didn’t exist yet.

Thanks for the great video, would there be any noticeable quality improvement by routing each receiver into the Panasonic xlr1 unit, rather than straight into the camera?

[mattwruff]

Knew that was coming but I liked the Pico setup better because you have more contorl except external lav’s. I could see in some cases this being the the better option!

Thanks! Curtis in live audio for events with panel discussions I often use a Dugan Automixer on Yamaha CL/QL series consoles. Does the post production video world not have anything like that for FCPX/Premiere?

[MarkYoungMedia]

Hi Curtis. Very informative as always and great you are including your daughter. I like to include my daughters in my Video-Casts. It brings out the creativity and gets rid of shyness 👍.
My question, this cable splits the audio into left and right, but if I want the audio from both wireless-go's to be heard in both ears (in a stereo headset) straight from the camera, is there an adapter I can purchase or a different cable?
Thanks in advance.

Curtis Judd, the channel where I always put on my DT 770 Pro headphones before starting the video.

Hi Curtis. I should go back and listen to your earlier video about the Go. But I’m curious if there is any processing of your voices, or use of external mics in this video. My limited experience w/ the Go, both with the unit mic and the Rode lav mic sold to go with it, they produce very muffled sound. You and Emma don’t sound that way, but of course I don’t know what you sound like in person. But it’s not too different than your other videos using much better quality mics. (Sorry! YT is only so good, I guess.) wondering if I’m missing something about the Go mics?

[Phllm]

Hey Curtis, I was wondering if you could try something for me? If you have two g4 camera mounts, could you try see if two of them will fit within the dcs-1? I put a transmitter and receiver on camera so that the crew feed can hear playback, and I’m getting a bit sick of all the Velcro. Thanks again!

[mikedejesus]

hey thanks for this video.

i need 4 mics for my interviews. can i use this set up with two rode wireless go II's which has two mics each to get a total of 4 mics? will this set up work?

[alantty]

Thank you for the video. Am I right to say that if we deploy this dual wireless go setup, one mic will come up on the left channel and the other sound on the right channel during live streaming without post processing? If that’s the case, how do we mix the two channels together for live streaming? Thank you. - alan.

@Curtis Judd - Been watching your content for quite a few years now. Thank you! I wanted to see if you knew of a solution to a problem I'm having related to this video. I am looking to find a way to send the audio and video being recorded to a Lumix Camera (S5, S1, S1H, GH5) to a computer and monitor both the audio and video feed on that computer. Any ideas on best ways to do this?

[PeterAlanJohnson]

Are you able to use a noise gate to close off the other persons channel automatically when they aren't speaking, or is there too much bleed for that?

[felipemvera]

Hey Curtis, I experienced an issue this weekend while doing a wedding - thankfully i had back up mics. The issue was that i have both the white and black rwg and although they were set to same db setting the black was more hot than the white! Think i should contact rode about this issue?

[deadendkid]

What about Sony hot mount?...I guess we could just hang from the cables and just get the cord thing...

[rosbiffy]

I tried a rig similar to this. A Rode Mobile Go and a Rode Video mic. I got heaps of RF interference on the video mic. Does this set up obviate this effect?
