RODE CENTRAL

Accessing the advanced features

Rode Central is a free app for PC or Mac that enables firmware updates and gives access to the Wireless Go II’s advanced features. As soon as a receiver is connected via a USB-C cable you’re able to access and change the settings for the backlight, gain mode, gain value, recording mode (Merged or Split) and activate or deactivate the safety channel. The software also allows the quality of the transmitters’ onboard recording to be switched between uncompressed and compressed, and it facilitates the audio file downloading.

It’s very straightforward to use; the connected units respond immediately so that as soon as the cable is unplugged, they’re ready for action. However, a more portable solution that uses a smartphone app would be nice.
