 Hey what's up guys welcome to Trending Reviews. So this is the road wire let's go and if you're thinking about connecting this to your laptop whether you have a MacBook or a Windows then this is the tutorial for you so let me show you how we can do that. All right guys so just before we begin most laptops whether it's a MacBook or Windows will not have a dedicated mic input so this one has a headphone jack there on the right hand side for my MacBook Pro and most laptops will have only a headphone jack so there's an additional adapter that you will need to buy to make sure this works and this is something like this this is a headphone and microphone splitter cable so this side will go into your headphone port onto your laptop and then you have two splitters here you should see some symbols on them to show which one is which so this one is the headphone one and this one is the microphone input so now that you can split it you can now use an external microphone with your laptop so let me go ahead and plug this into my headphone port there we go and now for the microphone input all you have to do is connect the Rode Wireless Go so all you have to do is use this Rode Wireless Go cable that comes inside the box and connect this to the receiver and then you will put the receiver end into the mic input here in the splitter cable and then I will use this to record audio and I will connect the sleeve here just to get rid of any background noise so now they're on and they're connected so all we need to do is test it so what I'm going to do is I'm going to remove this I'm currently using my shotgun microphone to record this video so I'm going to switch the audio recording to using my internal microphone on my MacBook and give you a comparison and then I'll play the recording through the Rode Wireless Go through my MacBook as well so let me show you how I can do that okay guys so now I'm recording this video using the internal microphone on my MacBook Pro and the MacBook Pro usually has a good in-built mic anyway so you should get some good quality audio because I'm in a very quiet room as well but I'm going to show you a comparison when I switch over to the Rode Wireless Go okay guys now let me go ahead and plug this in so this is connected now what I need to do is go into my settings here go into sound and then if I go into input you can see that there's an external microphone connected as well which is through the microphone port which is actually through the adapter on this cable so this is connected so now I'm going to start recording the audio through the Rode Wireless Go I'll just basically clip this on to a tripod and now I will start the recording using the Rode Wireless Go which is recording directly into this app I'm using called voice recorder on my MacBook Pro hey guys so now I'm using the Rode Wireless Go microphone to record my voice inside my MacBook Pro so let me know what you guys think do you hear the difference and is it a lot better than just the in-built mic now the good thing about this is that I can take this with me anywhere it's portable I'll just use this as a handheld mic and if I have two of these this is perfect to do podcasts with so that's about it guys this is a quick and easy tutorial of how to set up the Rode Wireless Go with your laptops now if you do have any problems then do drop a comment below I'll try to help out as much as I can whether you have a MacBook or a Windows laptop just make sure you go into the settings and make sure the external microphone has been detected and it is connected to your laptop then it should work fine so that's it guys hopefully that was useful if you like this tutorial then do this give this video a thumbs up otherwise I hope you subscribe and I will catch you guys next time take care
