Thank you for this video! For the convenience of listening to the audio test: 7:13 Vojopi 8:08 Boya BY-M1 9:09 Sony ECM-LV1 10:42 Rode Lavalier GO 10:49 Shure MVL
Absolutely loved this format guys! Weeding out the obvious no-go mic and skipping straight to the comparison with the real contenders was such a great move!
Just bought the SONY ECM-LV1, great mic - great sound - dont need a battery, that is great - and the mic is great reproducing good bass and clarity. I recommend it for the price.
You should have tested the Sony ECMCS3.CE7. Very clear and very well balanced in the frequencies. The main pro feature of both mentioned Sony Mics is, that you can flip tthe cable upwards and hide it completely behind your clothes. Very best options if any is wearing a shirt only w/o any collar.
Great comparison thanks for showing us what RF interference actually sounds like. I have had inconsistency regarding how the sound sounds on my in camera recording using these. Sometimes lots of static/noise, sometimes great, sometimes clipping. Thankfully I've been able to export 32-bit audio from the internal recording of the transmitters and that has always sounded perfect
Thank you Stewart! Your very informative video was a HUGE help for me. Listening to the audio tests that you conducted here is helping me to make my final decision in which products to purchase. And the fact that Rode is designed AND manufactured in Australia instead of another country where it seems most everything is made nowadays, you helped tremendously in forging my decision. Great work!
You can indeed PAD the rode go II system if you setup with the rode companion app for macOS and Windows. When looking at Signal:Noise ratio of the bodypack transmitter or other microphone preamp, the hotter output microphone is ALWAYS the best choice. 20 year audio veteran here. You are right to think if you had no gain control, you would need to PAD the signal in some way, and a lower output microphone would be the way to go about it. However, because this is a "pro" wireless system (I use that term loosely), I would still use the hottest and cleanest SN ratio microphone possible and PAD where needed.
Thanks for all the hard work on this, much appreciated. I've been out of TV and Radio Production for about 5 years, but when I was shopping for lav mics for interviews, film and seminars we evaluated about 10 lav mics wired direct to field recorders with pro preamps and Sennheiser Evolution and Sony UWP wireless systems, and I often found what sounded great in a controlled studio didn't sound so great in the field, and some high-dollar lav mics while great on an TV news set often clipped, popped and picked up a lot of rustle on moving subjects. The pickup pattern is a major consideration. for indoor studio some omni lavs had great vocal quality but outdoors picked up too much background sound. For outdoor shoots I liked the ME-2 and Countryman B2D, and studio interviews I liked some of the Tram Lav mics
Note to all - - do not purchase the Rode Lavs. Absolute nightmare. Super super hot mic, they constantly clip at any loud talking. It will clip on the module before it even gets to the camera. The only way to get the best audio is to purchase a padded countryman or high end lav and have it re-terminated to fit the rode. Also have to watch out for the interference noises. It's hard to narrow down the source of the interference. Rode is not completely open about the wiring diagrams. Seems to be voltage related. Summary is be ready for a mega head-ace if you're trying to get professional audio out of the wireless go ii. Not impossible tho...just not as easy as it could be.
What would you recommend? I was planning to use the sennheiser ME 2 or the sanken cos11 with my rode wireless Go II My only purpose is to have thé best audio quality regardless of the price with my wireless Go II
Why the comment regarding rhode lavalier go being awful, if he’s tested it and says it’s great? Man , I wish someone would just agree, I need 2 lavalier mics to go inside motorcycle helmets, plugging in to rhode wireless go 2, and GoPro 10s. Can anyone just give me a straight answer as to which would be best for that scenario.
Getting horrible interference problems from the Rode Lavalier Go (version 1) with the Wireless Go 2, but it seems to be fixed by turning off the "Pad" option on the transmitter.
Great test. I get bad RF interference from the PowerDeWise. The interference is inconsistent but it's present 90% of the time. I will have to pick another option.
Great video! Regarding the interference on the ME2,, I wonder if the issue could have something to do with the power requirements if the sennheiser. The specs say it requires ~7 volts and the Rode only supplies 4. I have the more premium MKE2 on the way and am curious to test it with my wireless go.
Interesting having watched the dji and spoke to you. As i said short concise informative just what we need. No flannel. I think the Rode setup is what i need after swithering this video has convinced me that its best for me. Cheers Stewart.
A "louder" mic (ie. more output) is, as you mention, can be, and usually is a better thing. If the mic is hotter, it will require less preamp gain, which will result in better SNR, unless the mic has a higher relative noise floor. GREAT COMPARISON and excellent job testing for RF interference. I think I'm gunna have to ditch my ME2's.
Thankyou - It can get confusing as to what to purchase and the quality. Really helpful that you conducted the sound testing as this was the deciding factor and help me to make a decision. Do you have a current recording about the total set up for novelist and recording/filming onto a Mac PC ?
Could you please share where to buy the table stand for rode wireless go2 that you use in this UA-cam? It’s look great but I can’t find it anywhere. Thank you in advance
I am in the market for a new lav due to my Rode Gold Go breaking down not at the mic but at the connection. This is the second one that has done this and I was careful to have the transmitter in my front pocket. Stress on the wire just past the jack seems to be a real problem for these mics. Something to consider
Hi - thank you for this. Can I just plug the lavalier Rode Go directly into my MAC and record? Or do I need that little box converter? I am using quicktime player to record videos via my iphone 14 pro. I have been using a blue jeti, but I move around the room alot demonstrating crafting and need a lavalier. My sound has been so inconsistent....its driving me crazy editing my videos. Thank you!!
Actually the RWGII transmitters have a pad, that works even when they're internally recording, so you're not going to clip easily (oh, and the pad affects both internal tx capsule, or a lavalier plugged in, depending on what you're using atm). You need a pc or a smartphone, and rode software, to set the pad, btw. You can't set it from the rx. The gain on the rx is not effective if you clip at the source the mic capsule, so if you're too loud, the only solution is the pad on the tx, as when sound arrives to rx it's already clipped or distorted, and pulling down the gain won't have any effect on recovering the sound, you'll just get a quieter clipped sound ;-)
Awesome information. My only question is - this is for the RODE, but it looks like you are using a DJI mic. Is that the case? Should I be looking at DJI all-together?
I just bought the Rode wireless go 2 and the Diety D3 pro.... Now I'm looking for a Lav that best suits my needs. Thanx for this info.. I'm gonna take a few more looks at videos about Lavs and I'll make my decision by tonight..
I'm looking into cardioid lavalier mics for the rode wireless go 2. My goal is to have several performers sitting pretty close together, and the mics would, as much as possible, be able to isolate to only the actor they're pinned to. Which of the top 5 here is the best for such an application?
Great comparison, thanks! Btw I already have a BY-M1. I would invest in a better and humidity/waterproof mic, but there are really no reviews with wireless go II and compatibility (signal level/clipping, self noise, supply voltage) is a big question. I need something that I can also use with a G4 transmitter if I rent it. The countryman B3, senn MKE2, deity W lav Pro, tram TR50, senken Cos11D, DPA4060 are on my list of candidates. Does anyone have good/bad experience with these?
Im buying my first mic for my camera. I’ll be mainly doing talking head videos and some vlogs. Am I best getting a lav mic or one you stick on the top of the camera ? Thanks
Bought the Power Dewise and for some reason they don't work with the Rode go ii. They work on other on other transmitters, not sure why and wondered if you changed anything?
hello, currently what do you think is the best lavalier to connect to the tascam h1n (which from what i understand is the best at that price) under 100 dollars? thank you!
Is there an over-the-ear frame that will place the lav in front or beside my mouth. For commentating a game of lawn bowls I want to talk softer as I'm not far from when speaking and I don't really want the talk on the green to be pick up by the mic (sometimes they curse!)
Awesome! Thank you so much for the signal test. I am currently looking for a "quiet" lapel mic for my wireless system. I have a feeling that Boya BY M1 is too hot and about to purchase the Rode Lavalier Go or Sony ECM LV1. Turns out those mics are even hotter, you just save me a couple of bucks! Regarding quiet lavalier mic, do you have any other budget options?
Congratulations on the excellent review Stewart. If you record outdoors, you'll lose your work if you don't have the windshield attached to the microphone. I make this observation because not all microphones are sold with a windshield.
Why do I need a mic for the wireless go II. According to specifications "...Each transmitter features a high-quality in-built omnidirectional condenser capsule....."?
Awesome topic to cover, thank you so much for the info and great to see worthwhile budget options. Please also do a video on which of the popular 3.5mm mono mics (like the Videomicro, VideoMic NTG, Deity D3/4 etc) works best on the wireless go system
Really great vid, useful set of comparisons. Thanks! Just a q - what’s your gain like on the Rode wireless go receiver when you’re using the lav go? That’s the setup I’m trying and tricky to get the balance right.
There is no gain input control, there is an output volume level on the receiver that controls the output from the jack. You need to lower your camera input to around 60% and raise the rode output until you are under clipping area but getting a good signal. Bear in mind this adds three gain stages to your audio: one into the transmitter, then blue tooth degradation, then the audio out from the receiver and finally the audio in preamp on your camera.
Hi! I'm using zoom u44 audio interface to connect rode wireless go 2 output to large speakers (for a big lecture hall) and iphone for doing youtube live. The issue I'm facing is that since it's inbuilt mic is omnidirectional, I can't increase the gain much else it starts giving feedback. I believe cardioid lav mic with rode transmitter should work as it won't catch the output coming from the large speakers. This way I can increase the gain as much as I want to ensure sufficient loudness in the lecture hall. What do you say? And can you suggest some good cardioid lav mic for this rode wireless?
Thanks a lot! So what is the best setup for best result....meaning when biking with my partner we both have the rode wireless 2. And the camera is on 1 bike. However if my partner is biking eg in front of me (like 60 meters), the signal is too low. Would another setup help? With a lavalier? Your advice on the setup?
Hey! Lav won't make any difference. What matters is trying to get line of sight between the transmitters and and the receiver, i.e. as few obstructions as possible. Assuming the camera is in front of your partner, his/her body will be blocking the signal and at 60m this will lead to dropouts. Maybe look for a longer TRS-TRS cable and locate the receiver off the camera and at the back of the bike so there is a clearer signal between you and the receiver.
@@DroneFilmGuide thanks for your help! What about positioning the transmitter on the sight of the partners body? Does this increase the range and line of sight?
@@WiljanWiljan Potato Jet reviews the DJI Wireless Mic system on bikes. ua-cam.com/video/Bni9tXB0_cQ/v-deo.html It has great range, even through body.

When they turn their head the voice will lost and in general they're hard to exactly put it on clothes in the right direction

Wow nice comparison, is shure mvl has trrs connection? So no need an adapter for the wireless go 2?
Cheers! The opposite...because the Shure MVL has a TRRS jack you do need an adapter to take it down to TRS for the Rode Wireless Go 2.
Thank you, great review. The Rode Sounded best.
I believe you can unscrew the locking nut from the Sennheiser mic and it will fit.
