RØDE Wireless Go II Dual Channel Wireless System with Built-in Microphones with Analogue and Digital USB Outputs, Compatible with Cameras, Windows and MacOS computers, iOS and Android phones

These work as accordion mics! Decent external wireless pickup mics for accordions are hard to find. Even though these are intended as lapel mics, they do the trick and sound good.The fact that the two transmitters go to a single receiver which requires no external power source is super convenient for many performance situations. You can use these with a battery powered amp/speaker and amplify your accordion wirelessly without requiring an electrical outlet at all – ideal for busking. The transmitters have a long range and can be used in strolling performances. In most cases, you will need an eighth inch to quarter inch adapter.For the keyboard side on a piano accordion, use velcro tape to attach one of the transmitters to the lower part of the grille, with the microphone pointing upwards. The high notes will be louder than the lower notes, but overall, the volume will sound more stable over the range of the keyboard than it would if you were to put the transmitter at the top facing down, or in the middle facing toward the keyboard.On the button side, thread a velcro strap through the clip of the other transmitter and strap it to the outer side of the bass strap, so the microphone is pointing upwards. Cut the velcro strap to shorten it if needed so it fits snugly around the bass strap.If you can find a black acrylic paint pen, I recommend painting over the blue lights on the transmitters; you’ll still be able to see the lights to know whether the transmitters are connecting, but they’ll be less glaringly bright on stage.You can use these mics for recording also, but it would only make sense to do so in a live performance setting. For studio recording, it would make more sense to use stationary mics.There are a few limitations to be aware of:1) You cannot adjust the input gain, only the output gain. If there is noticeable distortion, there is no way to turn down the input gain, you’ll have to find a way to mount the transmitters differently. When I play on the bass side, the receiver indicates that there is some distortion, but it’s subtle enough that it probably wouldn’t be noticed in a performance setting. The sound quality is actually quite good.2) You cannot adjust the volume of the two mics independently. If the keyboard side is too quiet, the only options are to mess with the EQ on the amp/speaker/mixer or to try adjusting the mic placement.3) These mics are omnidirectional, which I think is idea for this kind of setup, but you’ll have to be extra careful about feedback issues.I only just finished setting up and testing these mics, with guidance from a sound engineer friend. haven’t used them in performance yet. I will update this review if I encounter any issues. So far they seem like a great option for accordionists to know about.

Super easy to use, amazing quality, small and compact - worked flawlessly with iPhone 16 Pro.

They work well. I use them with my iPhone and connect them with a USB C to USB C cable.It comes with a cable to connect to a laptop or camera but there’s no phone cable included. They say to only use a Rode cable, well I don’t, and it works just fine.The only thing I would change is the size of the mic, I find it’s a little bulky.

Really a frustrating experience. I charged the transmitter/receiver for 5 hours prior for the first use (they're advertised to be fully charged in 2). After charging and trying to set up to film, neither the transmitter nor receiver would turn on. I did some research and learned it's apparently a very common problem for people with their new wireless go. There's an in depth way to reboot it that includes downloading additional software, so I did that. None of this is included on RØDE's website or their manual, I had to deep dive on reddit. Now that my device finally turned on I tried to film with my phone (connected with a cable they don't include) and was met with more difficulty. My phone wouldn't detect the device and was instead just using the built-in microphone. I couldn't troubleshoot this on my own so I reached out to RØDE customer service. After an unhelpful back and forth, they said it's because I wasn't using ~their~ cables to connect the devices (even though the cables I was using have worked for every electronic in the past). They directed me to RØDE website for the additional purchase, and at that point I gave up and returned it. For $220 it's inexcusable. I wish I could speak to the sound quality but I'll unfortunately never know!

Live this item!!! So easy to use and the sound quality is great!!! Highly recommend picking this up if you are looking into wireless mics!

Sound amazing, stinks that you have to order a special cord to use both mics at same time when vlogging on the phone! Other than that great! But it’s a $75 cord to have to order from rode! 4 stars if it came with cord 5

Excellent sound and build quality. The onboard recording is very handy as well, and I love the compatibility with apps on my phone. Highly recommend yet another fantastic product from Rode.

The media could not be loaded. Great mic system. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a good wireless system. Use it with my iphone in a pinch, or my Canon Mark IV. Very good sound and range.
