RØDE Wireless GO II system is getting a new free firmware update that brings standalone onboard audio recording without the need to connect the TX to the RX, LED brightness adjustment for the transmitters, low sensitivity mode, and the ability to manually drop markers into the onboard recording with the power button. The popular compact-sized wireless audio system was refreshed in February 2021 when RØDE announced the Wireless Go II. Perhaps the most notable update with the second generation Wireless GO was the added support for the dual-channel system with two transmitters. Now, the Australian company releases a firmware update for the RØDE Wireless GO II that brings some interesting new features. Let’s take a look at it. Standalone onboard recording The first new feature included in the new firmware is a standalone onboard recording. Previously, the Wireless GO II transmitter units (TX) started recording internally as soon as they connected with the receiver (RX). Now, there is no need for the TX to be connected to the RX. Once activated within the updated RØDE Central app, onboard recording will begin as soon as the transmitter is switched on, and will continue recording until it’s turned off. This essentially turns the Wireless GO II into a compact field recorder. It is worth mentioning that this feature only works when recording in uncompressed mode. Each transmitter has a built-in memory, that can fit up to seven hours of uncompressed audio recording. RØDE Central App – Standalone Onboard Recording. Source: RØDE Furthermore,...
