Røde has announced a free firmware update for its wireless range, with Wireless Go (Gen 3) and Wireless Pro now boasting Direct Connect enabling allows users to connect directly to iOS devices without the need for a physical receiver.
Direct Connect, first introduced with Wireless Micro, enables Wireless Go (Gen 3) and Wireless Pro transmitters to pair with iPhones via Bluetooth using the free Røde Capture app. This eliminates the need for any additional hardware or accessories, streamlining mobile set-ups while preserving the audio both systems’ audio quality.
‘Since launch, feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, allowing creators more flexibility and versatility than ever before,’ says Røde CEO, Damien Wilson. ‘It’s our duty as pioneers of the ultra-compact wireless microphone category to extend true wireless freedom to as many creators as possible. With Direct Connect now available on more Røde systems, we’re delivering exactly that.’
With Direct Connect now available across more of the wireless range, creators can continue to record in merged or split modes through the Røde Capture app. In merged mode, audio from both transmitters is combined into a single, ready-to-publish stereo track. In split mode, each transmitter is recorded to a separate channel for greater flexibility in post-production. In-app output gain control also makes it easy to adjust recording levels on the fly for consistently balanced results.
Powered by Røde’s Series IV 2.4GHz digital transmission and compatible with any Series IV device, Wireless Go (Gen 3) delivers reliable wireless audio, with advanced features like 32-bit float onboard recording, intelligent GainAssist for consistently balanced levels and generous 32GB internal storage for recording audio directly to the transmitters.
Designed for filmmakers and professional creators who require maximum capability in a compact form, Wireless Pro is the most powerful system in Røde’s wireless range, delivering an unrivalled suite of features not found in any other compact microphone in its class. Building on the impressive core performance and capabilities of the Wireless Go (Gen 3), Wireless Pro adds time code sync for quick-and-easy audio sync in post-production and an extended 260m line-of-sight range for reliable audio over longer distances.
Compatible with the full Røde Series IV ecosystem, including RødeCaster Pro II, RødeCaster Duo and RødeCaster Video, Wireless Go (Gen 3) is available to purchase in a range of colours for US$199, and the Wireless Pro for US$299.
