 Hey what's up guys welcome to Trending Reviews. So you know what this is? This is the Rode Wireless GO. It is the smallest and most compact wireless transmitter and receiver combos and I'm going to give you a quick unboxing about what comes in the box with these and also a little bit on overview and features about what's actually on these devices and then hopefully the reason why you're all here is to see what this actually sounds like. So I'll be testing this in various conditions. I'll do it indoors here. I'll change my microphone input from using my Sennheiser shotgun microphone to using this. I'll use the inbuilt mic on my DSLR camera which is the Sony a7 III and also give you some samples of how this sounds with the windshield on with an external standard lavalier microphone, a wired one and also in outdoor conditions when it's very noisy in the background. So I'll try to cover as many scenarios as I can and hopefully that will give you an idea on how powerful these tiny little mics are. So let's just get straight into it. Okay so let's go ahead and give this an unboxing. So as you can see here from the box straight away it gives you a quick start guide for all the different functionalities of these devices. So let's go ahead inside you've got some more instructions there on the bottom part of the card at the top of the box. So you just lift the box up and then you have the devices there. So just underneath the box you can see they are clipped in there so you just need to take them out of the clip. Underneath you have one of the windshields so I'll put that down to the side. So inside here you'll notice that there's a couple of cables just hidden there on the sides as well. So inside here you have two USB-C cables to charge each of these devices. So inside the rest of the box again it comes with two windshields for both of the devices there. You also have a TRS cable that connects the devices to your DSLR camera. You've got another quick start guide here in case you want to use that and then finally you have a nice little carry pouch to put these in when you want to take this on the go. So Velcro strap it's very easy to fit both devices and then fit this straight into your pocket. So convenient let's go ahead and set this up. Okay so these are the world's smallest wireless mic transmitter and receiver combos and it comes in at 2.4 gigahertz digital frequency. The size they're 44 by 45 millimeters in size and as you can see very compact just fits very easily into the palm of your hands and they can clip easily onto your shirts or onto your jeans. They also have a 70 meter range with a massive seven hours of battery life and they take about two hours to give you a full charge and both of them have built-in rechargeable batteries which are charged via the USB-C cable that is provided with the box. Right so let's talk about each of the devices here. So the first one here is the transmitter as you can see on the top of the device you have the inbuilt lavalier microphone. You also have a 3.5 millimeter jack mic input port so if you want to use your own wired standard lavalier mic then you can also do that. You also have two LED lights here one for the battery and one for the pairing. Then under bottom you have the power button to turn this on. On the side you have the USB-C port to charge it and then at the back you have this clip to clip this onto either your jeans or your camera. With the receiver you have the USB-C port you also have a 3.5 millimeter TRS input so you can connect this to your camera. At the bottom you have a couple of buttons here so the one on the left hand side is the DB button which I'll explain a little bit more about in a second and then you have the pairing button there on the right hand side. On the front of the device you have a LCD screen which will actually show you a lot of information from the actual transmitter so I'll be showing you that as well and then again you have the power button there. Likewise with the other one you also have a clip so you can also clip this to wherever is convenient. One thing that's really convenient with the road wireless go is that they come pre-paired so you wouldn't have to do anything you'll just get them turn them on and you're ready to go straight away. Both of these have very bright LCD screens which are extremely easy to set up without any menus to go through so what I will do is I will power the devices on now so as you can see the blue light has come on now the pairing link here is blinking so I need to go ahead and turn the other one on and you should get confirmation that they're paired so as you can see the blue light has gone solid on the transmitter and the receiver has picked it up so on the receiver you can see I'm speaking and you've got the game meter there checking to see the quality in my voice so if I bring this closer to my mouth the microphone you'll see that the volume here on the receiver is actually bringing you a very high gain. There's also some useful information that's displayed on this screen here on the top left you have the battery life there on the top right you have the battery life of the transmitter on the bottom right you can see there's a connection symbol which is in the shape of a wi-fi signal so in case you have lost connection with the receiver then you'll be able to display that there the main thing is the bar in the middle which is showing you the gain and the decibel counts from the microphone so this will give you an idea to check how far or how close you need to be to the microphone to give you some really good audio and the icon there on the bottom left is the decibel gain icon so when you actually press the decibel button here you'll see that this will go down to very low press it again it will go to medium and press it again it will go to very high now what that does is it changes the gain settings from very low which is zero decibels to medium which is minus six decibels to very high which is minus 12 decibels this is particularly useful when you're trying to record audio from very noisy background conditions so if you're outdoors then obviously you would need to adjust this to make sure you get very clear audio coming in if you have someone that speaks very quietly then obviously you need to adjust the decibel and the gain settings using this as well but likewise there's no menus to go through it's literally three clicks of the button there and you can just change it accordingly the other thing to mention is that you can also pair up to a maximum of eight transmitters that can be received by the one wireless go receiver so if you want to pair them you just hold down the pairing button and then you hit the power button on the receiver to automatically pick it up and you can do that with a maximum of eight devices in terms of the clip this will fit onto any cold shoe DSLR camera and is very convenient so all you have to do is get the clip and put that into the cold shoe push it in and there you have it it goes in very well it won't fall off it's very strong and you can take this with you in any type of recording conditions and also with the included TRS cable you literally just put that into the mic input of the receiver and then connect the other end into the mic input of the camera there you have it so now when you start recording using your DSLR camera this should be able to start recording audio directly from the transmitter and directly link that with the video that you're recording through the camera okay this is sound test one using my sennheiser shotgun microphone linked with the mix pre three by sound devices this is sound test three i have the road wireless go now connected to my shirt which is now connected to my sony a seven three and this is on the medium setting which is minus six decibels okay so this is sound test four i have a very standard wired lavele microphone which i have connected to the transmitter so i'm now using this to see if the audio is a little bit better than the inbuilt microphone on the road wireless go all right guys so this is a sound test of the road wireless go in an outdoor condition so it is slightly cloudy and it's a little bit windy so i just wanted to give you guys an idea of actually how it sounds with the wind coming through does it affect the audio now i will be switching over to using the wind protection to see if there's any difference all right guys so now i have the wind protection on the road wireless go so can you guys tell the difference and let me know in the comments below if it does make a difference as well all right guys so now i have the wired lavele mic the small one here and giving you guys a test comparison of seeing how that sounds in comparison to the previous two sound tests all right guys so this is a sound test outdoor in a loud environment so we've got the wind wooden showing on the tv screens back there we've got a lot of people here we have some markets we have a tractor cleaning the floors and the pavements behind us as well so i just wanted to give you guys a look at how it sounds in very loud environments outdoors so if you are going to be filming where there's a lot of people maybe some crowds or festivals then obviously it will come out just like this so i'm using the road wireless go just on its own so what i'm going to do next is switch over to the windshield to see if that helps drown out a little bit of the background noise as well so hopefully you guys can get a bit of a comparison but i won't be using any of the lavele wired microphones on this test because this is mainly just for the road wireless go so let's switch over and see how that sounds all right guys so now i've got the windshield protector onto the road wireless go i just wanted to give you a comparison with if this makes any difference in background noisy situations so again i've got lots of families here i've got a lot of people talking i've got the market here there's some police sirens on the background there's some noise going there with a fire engine so let me know what you guys think if you can actually hear the difference with the windshield protector on or not so if you are vlogging and you're going to be where there's a lot of people maybe we're at festivals or anything like that and hopefully this gives you a good idea of actually what the sound capability is of the road wireless go especially with the windshield protector on all right so that was all the sound comparison guys for the road wireless go i hope you found that useful i'm going to leave a link in the description below on where you can actually purchase these so do check it out if you are going to be vlogging and you're going to be using either your DSLR cameras or even if you wanted to use your smartphones i will be showing a video on actually connecting this to either android or iphone as well so it's the most convenient thing you can do for perfect audio so do let me know if there's anything else you wanted to find out about this in the comments below otherwise i hope you like that i hope you subscribe and i will catch you guys at the next one take care
