Why does my Rode Wireless Go microphone sound so BAD?

Why does my Rode Wireless Go Microphone sound so bad? If there is a crackling sound or you get feedback that your sound is awful, try this simple fix. Basically, you have to adjust your volume settings on the wireless microphone receiver. There are 3 volume settings, and I'll demo all three of them here. Warning: turn your volume down for setting 3.

Thanks for the video. 2 years later and your video is still helping. Thanks.

Lol! It only took me 8 months to figure out that there are volume settings. Glad to know others were baffled. Thanks Ashley!

Thanks Ashley! I watched lots of lengthy videos showing the setup of this mic, and yours is the first to actually show this adjustment. Nice short very informative video. Now I need to see what the little star thing is for in the top center of the screen... Might be time to get the instructions out! 😂

I have been looking for why my rode wireless sounded bad and I found your video which has been very useful for me. Thank you very very much!

[jeanneclynes]

Ashley! Your videos have been so helpful to me and I have watched so many of them... but this one, omg... THANK YOU!!! It was driving me crazy how all of a sudden my students couldn't hear me properly. I had checked all the settings on my Macbook, unplugged and replugged, was about to call the store I purchased my equipment from and then BAM! Watched this video and durrrr... I had accidentally changed the volume setting on my mic to low 🤦🏻I had no idea this button was even there. Dur! Thank you Ashley, you are a life saver!! ❤

[WildlifeIndiaGT]

You are a life saver.. I watched hundreds of setup videos and couldn’t figure out the problem unit now. Thank-you 😊

[YogawithAshleyGee]

I really do appreciate all of your videos. SO HELPFUL! another thing I noticed by lowering to the lower setting, it picks up less background noise and less swallowing/mouth noises lol

Finally, exactly what I was looking for. I could not figure out what the settings were doing. Now I know. Thank you.

In the RODE Wireless 2 you can change the the volume to dB to get more then three steps thru the RODE app on the Desktop for both Mac and PC, And if you try to use the wireless GO 2 with your desktop with the USB cable you have to change the volume on the mic withing your desktop settings. So dont give up on the RODE Wireless 2 they are more versitile when it comes to Volume. i Highly recomend getting the Desktop app for all the Rode Wirless GO 2 users.

DUDE! Thank you so much for this. Such an easy fix

[mshparber]

Thanks. Also, you can disable Audio Enhancements in Additional Device Properties of Microphone (Sound Settings -- Input Device Properties -- Additional device properties -- Advanced -- Disable audio enhancements). For me it made sound much more stable and true.

[thespaingibraltarchannel]

Thank you. I am going to try this, because when its connected to my iphone I feel like I get some bad crackling sound. Thanks

[quinty]

Thanks for your videos, they're so helpful. Also this one with the volume settings. So simple, but hadn't thought about it and my sound was bad indeed. Thanks!

[lavender_cherthala]

Your camera clarity is very nice. Which one model used for making video ❤

I like the internal recording of the go I but I love the auto gain correction of the wireless me
