Foire aux questions
Most definitely! The VideoMic GO II features a USB-C audio output that allows it to be connected to computers and mobile devices and used as a fully featured USB microphone. When used in USB mode, the 3.5mm TRS output can be used to connect headphones for audio monitoring and playback.
Additional cables are required for connecting the VideoMic GO II to computers and mobile devices via USB, such as the RØDE SC16, SC17 or SC18 for devices with a USB-C input, or RØDE SC15, SC19 for iOS devices with a Lightning port (note: to use the VideoMic GO II with an iOS device, you must use the SC15 or SC19).
When being used with a camera, the VideoMic GO II is designed to be a simple plug-and-go microphone with no controls or switches ensuring minimal fuss. You can use the manual gain control on your camera to adjust the input level if required.
When being used in USB mode, the input level and headphone volume can be adjusted from the computer or mobile device it’s connected to or with RØDE Central or RØDE Connect (computers), RØDE Central Mobile or RØDE Reporter (mobile devices). These apps can also be used to activate the high-pass filter, high-frequency boost, pad and other audio processing (RØDE Connect only).
If you have an iPhone or iPad with a Lightning input, you will need the RØDE SC15 or SC19 (note: standard USB-C to Lightning cables will not work).
If you have a device with a USB-C input, such as an Android smartphone or iPad Pro, you will need a USB-C to USB-C cable like the RØDE SC16 or SC17.
You can also plug your VideoMic GO II into your smartphone or tablet using the 3.5mm output with the RØDE SC7 cable (available separately). Using the USB-C output gives you access to a host of features including headphone monitoring and access to advanced features using RØDE Central, so we highly recommend this option if possible.
When using the 3.5mm analog output, the peaks will depend on the gain setting in your camera, so you should use the audio meters on your device to monitor for peaks.
In USB mode, the VideoMic GO II utilises an internal preamp and A/D, so the LED will alert you to any loud peaks that may clip the input.
The foam windshield is designed to mitigate moderate wind noise and plosives. You should also use it if the microphone is being moved (for example, on a handheld camera or boom arm), or if you are speaking directly into it. If it is mounted on a static camera in an indoor environment, you can remove it. The windshield features a high-quality open-cell design that is very acoustically transparent, so will not noticeably affect the performance of the microphone.
If you are using the microphone outdoors in a high-wind environment, we recommend using the WS12.
Yes - if you are using the 3.5mm output, you can use any high-quality 3.5mm extension cable (but be aware that the longer the cable, the higher likelihood of interference from other electrical devices). We suggest using the RØDE VC1 or SC8 when mounting the VideoMic GO II on a boompole. You can also use the Wireless GO II for a wireless solution.
If you are using the USB output, be aware that very long USB cables or USB cable extenders can be problematic, and their performance may depend on the recording device being used. Use a high-quality USB extender, ideally an ‘active’ one, for best performance.
Note: RØDE cannot warrant the performance of the microphone when used with third-party cables.
