Recording Two-Person Conversations on Your iPhone with the Røde Wireless GO II [2023]

An iPhone is the easiest way to start making videos, and now with the Røde Wireless GO II you can even record interviews with two speakers and separate their audio channels while doing so! All that's done with either the Røde SC15 or SC19 cable, and in this video I show you how to set things up so you have the best possible audio quality and feature set!

Uploaded 2yrs ago yet the information is still solid. I actually, learned something new compared to longer videos I've watched on RWG2. Good video, thank you sir!

[BiiimMeUp]

Perfect video !
You're the first to explain the huge stereo difference between the Sc15/Sc16 and the trrs/trs adapters.
I planned to use my adapters, you changed my mind. Thanks !

This is great information! I have another tip for iphone users; you can use a genuine iphone camera adapter (about 30 bucks), and plug the USB side of the charging cable of your wireless go 2 into the adapter, while plugging the other end into the wireless go 2 receiver. Then, just plug the lightning part of the camera adapter into your iphone and boom! You're good tog go.

Will Skype app on the iphone recognize the rode receiver and mics as external mic? Thanks!

[Dr.HaniShaker]

WOW.. great explaination
I have a question .. is the app used for recording with rode on i phone paid ?

[pastorfod]

This is the best video with the best explanation about the road mic I’ve seen so far

[Crityboy]

does the iphone jack adapter work long on your iphone ? cause mine keeps showing not supported

Hi Chris, I have the RODE Wireless Go II a dam connecting with the Rode SC21 cable to my iPhone. I am struggling with the quality of the audio. I am recording with one mic in mono mode and to me it sounds like it is distorted. I have turned the gain on the mic to the -30db setting and am using the RODE Capture APP. JUST wondering what else I should try? Cheers Drew

[ayylmao]

Can you then record with the normal iPhone camera app or do you need a different app for the rode mic to work?

[IGotBank]

I appreciate the thorough explanations. I purchased the Rode Wireless Go 2 several months ago. I need to jump in and figure out how to use the devices. Again, thanks!

[PoisonedStudios]

Can I use these mics and film with the dji osmo 6

[amjathtalks]

Can I use oly one mic for my video and keep another one as a spare mic ?? Will it affect audio quality if I use oly one mic and turn off another ??

[dharmageek]

Excellent job of explaining the differences between cable and ADAPTOR METHODS - CUDOS AND BRAVO! Oh and Thank you again!

[erikanthony]

Thanks for that, what is the application called for the rode ? I downloaded rode central but it's not connecting to my rode from my iphone, thanks

[admiral]

Danke für dieses Video!!! ich war lange auf der Suche nach Erklärungen, warum über eine TRRS-Verbindung kein Dual-Mono/Stereo input in ein iPhone möglich war. Hiermit wird das alles klar!!! Gibt es außer dem Rode Wireless Go II noch weitere Microfone, die ihre Signale via USB in das iphone schleusen können?

[NinoJulia]

Great video! How do u switch between mono and stereo directly on the receiver?

[AngelaADD]

This was a great video! Thank you! Before I make the investment, will the same technique work with the Rode wireless me? I have not seen a video that suggest I could do the same as you’ve done here with that particular model.

[richcurtis]

Great information thank you. Will this solution work with the DJI mic 2 or hollyland lark max as well?

[cayman]

What happens with the AI-Micro device? If I have to interview like 3 persons plus myself! This was helpful but I think I need to go one step further based on Rode's feedback. What's the upgraded cable for the new iPhone with the USB-C connection?

[thesilveraries]

so basically what you are saying is that if you want to do a two person interview for live stream its best to do the merge setting, but if you are going to do an interview that you will edit later you should do the left right split?
