You have absolutely NO IDEA how much this video just helped. I'm live-streaming a wedding in 2 days. I bought a mixer for the audio as I found passing the audio through my ATEM Mini caused issues at older venues with not-so-great power sockets. Came to test things out today and found my theory (just like your first 2 on here) didn't work. VXLR ordered. Thank you!!
OMG!! I have looked at so many videos trying to help my church have better audio and I must say, yours is amazing! So thorough and you explained so a dummy (me) could get it!!! Thank you so much! I can’t wait to try it!! 🖤💋
So a little backstory is I purchased a MackieProfxv6 for some home Kerioke, instead of purchasing shure mics I thought why not get the rode wireless go2 this way I can knock 2 birds with one stone. Use the mics for when I do my family travel videos and use them for karaoke when home. I did look up videos which this exact setup but didn’t get any results at that time, perhaps you should adjust your title to include a generic analog mixer instead of Yamaha for more hits. While purchasing the mics I added the vxlr adapter also. After seeing the video I am glad I did. Just now have to wait for the mixer to arrive and test this out.
Thank you for this video very clear and helpful! Can I ask you a question..after connecting rode to the mixer can that audio come out through speakers that are connected to the mixer as well?
Thank you so much for this very helpful video sir. I have one more question sir, how about if you attached the transmitter into the mixer and the receiver is connected in camera will the camera receive and record the auido coming from the mixer?
You can do that however, you must significantly reduce the audio output from the mixer so you don't overdrive you camera audio. I have not done this yet but in the the meantime, I use the rode wireless go receiver directly in my camera some times with the transmitter on my person and not in the mixer. Of course that only take care of my voice in the camera. Check out these options: ruclips.net/video/Zx24RGGUqWc/видео.html
FINALLY a video that actually explains how to do this! AND I am using the same mixer so it was even better. Only difference is I am using a Mackie Element lav. Thanks for an great video.
Great review thanks! I was going to get the RODE VXLR Pro for $40, but after watching this, all I need is the RODE VXLR for $10. This will just as good with my RODE Wireless GO II setup. Again, thank you for doing this video!
Punk Nugget (smile).. are you running your two Go Pro's into separate channels on the Rodecaster Pro with a 1/8 split dual XLR male cabling or not splitting the mics and going through the phone port? I want to split the two mics audios on separate channels. Thanks!
@@JanetteSmith Just tried calling you and got your agent. Your agent will be reaching out to you, so you can call me directly and I'll try to answer your question as best as I can.
You have no idea how much your videos have helped me , I appreciate you and your sharing of your knowledge and experience. You are a Welcome Blessing. Thank you and have a wonderful and blessed day. Bob
You did a great job in explaining the connections. As a result of your video, I went on and purchased a Rode Microphones Wireless GO II Dual-Channel Wireless Microphone System. I subscribed to your channel. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much Wendell and welcome to the G Fire nation. I'm happy to hear you were inspired and you've invested well the Rode Wireless Go II. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
Yeeeeees! You are a life saver! You made it super simple to understand why the setups doesn’t work and why it works with the Røde adapter AND the fact that you need that adapter and not any adapter 👏 thank you! 💪
Love it!!! Thanks so much. Helped tremendously. I am a total novice at this and it was really baffling me as to why I couldn’t get it to work. Looked and looked for videos to help and finally landed on yours. 👍🏻
@G Fire Productions I would like to use my comica 🎤 lav, in the my church, I would to use it as normal wireless microphone, but we have big speakers 🔊 around.
@@donays8241 you can use your Lavalier in church but you have to gain it properly and EQ it so you don't get feedback. You also have to have a good speaker placement lab microphones are usually pretty sensitive so if it's not working out for you he's a handheld microphone.
Hi Gfire! Thank you for this video. I have a knock off version of the Go Wireless and was stumped while trying to get them to work with my mixer. Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. works like a charm now! DP down in Austin TX.
The Yamaha MG10XU was hooked to my macBook via usb cable. I used OBS to make this video. In OBS setting I selected the mixer as my audio source. My main camera was the built in on on the Mac and anode iPhone was the second camera looking at the mixer. Maybe this willl help: ruclips.net/video/maftCAd2R7c/видео.html
Hi Gerald, I was wondering if this is an alternative for a small church in terms of distance (between 10m - 20m of open distance)? Whats your experience? Thanx
Professionally I would not recommend this used in a church. Although it will work fine within the distance of 60 feet there are opportunities for this microphone to have drop outs due to its very small built in antennas. These types of devices have an application more towards Vlogging in my opinion versus an all-out church setting. So if you are considering to use this in that manner, make sure that the receiver has a direct line of sight to the transmitter so that minimizes any in interference.
Thanks for this clear explanation. If it hadn't been for your explanation of the cable (and a clear view of both connectors in one frame), I would have accidentally purchased the Røde SC7 cable (TRRS to TRS) rather than the Røde SC2 (TRS to TRS). Speaking of the SC7 (TRRS to TRS), is it primarily meant to plug into mirrorless cameras, smartphones, and the like. (I'm new to the world of Røde.)
Hello Curbuntu. Thank you for for watching and supporting our channel. As for the SC7 (TRRS to TRS) I use this specifically to get audio out of the Rode Wireless Receiver to my smart phone or tablet. Noe my new iPhone 12 Pro does not have a mini jack port so I us a TRRS to lightning with the SC7 to my Phone. TRS side of SC7 goes in the Rode Receiver, TRRS side goes in the phone if you have that old headphone connection. I showed it here: ruclips.net/video/Zx24RGGUqWc/видео.html
i know this is an old video, but i don’t know if anyone else wants to try this, but what worked for me was a $10 amazon xlr male to 3.5. in the video he used an xlr female with an adapter.
Great walkthrough Gerald! 👊🏻 Running the Røde Wireless Go II with two transmitters, how to split the audio when connecting from the receiver into two separate input channels on the mixer?
In that Case I'd use a y cable (3.5mm TRS to 6.35mm Stereo TS): amzn.to/3U0d8rG . The TRS end would go into your Rode Wireless Go II receiver and the l and R TS ends will go into two separate channels of your mixer. Don't forget the Rode Wireless Go II allows you to set each transmitter to be is own separator channel so make sure you check your settings accordingly. Please let me know how that works out for you.
That's a good question Adhokshaja and thanks for watching the video. The built-in mic works absolutely fine however, I it's really just a personal preference to use a lapel mic on my shirts versus this weeks box hanging from it Also in my experience when I wear a round neck T-shirt the transmitter has enough weight to make it look like a V-neck and it looks weird to me. Also I tend to move around a lot specially doing setting up DJ Quitman or whatever and sometimes that Boxton flip out of my T-shirt and I'm always having to adjust it back to his position so I decided to do away with just using the box and clip on a lapel mic.
One more suggestion I need. Recently I've been watching comparisons of DJI wireless mic with rode 2 go. DJI is still not available in India. But I liked the specifications more than rode wireless 2. People say DJI's customer service is poor. What would you suggest ? Should I stay with rode or try DJI wireless?
@@adhokshajakrishnadas9408 I'm sorry but I cannot intelligently speak about DJI because I don't use any of their equipment. Without being biased towards Rode, I'm more of a use what works till it dies or breaks and Rode is it for me. In fact even though the Rode Wireless Go II is out I still have not purchased it because my original Wireless Go systems still work. I usually don't jump on the bandwagon with everybody else. I just do my research, pick the gear I want, and go for it. Now given the supply chain issues we're having these days and along with the chip shortages, my suggestion is first to see if the Rode can work out for you maybe some settings could change and get you the results you're looking for. Maybe later if you can wait for the DJI system go for it. I am however huge on customer service so I can attest that Rode has great customer service and has helped me resolve issues with my system to include replacing a bad system. Again I cannot speak for DJI because I do not use their equipment nor have I experienced their customer service issues.
hi.. tnx for this video.. i have a question, is this safe for my wireless go if the phantom power is on? the phantom power in our church mixer is always on considering a lot of mics are used..
these content helped me a lot. i also tried these on other brand with Godox Movlink m2 + Boya 35C-XLR Pro (almost the same with RODE)... and it works great. thanks
It could work however, you should seriously test this out before a wedding!!! The Rode Wireless Go system is great but I trusted as far as flying or making videos that way if something goes wrong it's just me making my video which I could recover from that. But if there's an issue at a wedding then that is absolutely terrible. I use the Shure QLXD microphones for wedding ceremonies but I use the Rode Wireless Go for making videos or in very close spaces like in my home to avoid potential for drop outs. Weddings are such a big deal so you want to make sure you have absolute reliability when it comes to wireless technology.
@@gfire_productions thanks for making This clear i was one in a weird situation where there was mountains, a lake and literally like 200 guests my sennheiser g4 unfortunately wouldn’t do the job with bad frequency signal, luckily my brother in law was with me and he plugged in the rode pro and omg it saved my ass! Big time! However, I’d still be very sceptical about it maybe i just got lucky.
@@claudiovalero6449 I did a test with this video on yesterday and it will work as a ceremony Mike. My approximate distance was about 30 to 60 feet the transmitter on my shirt and the receiver plugged into the back of the QSC K8 that too. Other things to consider though is putting a bunch of bodies in between the units so make sure you have a good clear line of sight because the soon as they're not like a traditional Sennheiser I'm sure microphones with quarter wave or halfwave antennas.

Hey nice video I have Question would it work the opposites way transmitter on mixer and receiver on iPad to record sound if I can use it wedding to record audio from the mixer
That's a great question and you could definitely put your receiver into an iPhone or an iPad accordingly. As for the transmitter though I'm really not sure at the moment if it's able to except a line level signal from your mixer because it may be too much. This would be a question better suited for Rode Tech Support. I'm really just not sure if the transmitter can handle that kind of input even if you were to use a DI box from your mixer out to step down the audio and then into the Rode Wireless Go transmitter.
Thanks for watching. I have never used this particular unit however, I just read the manual from the B&H website ( www.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/588200.pdf ). Giving it come with just about all of the components that my Rode system has, It looks like it will work just fine. If you find out it does not simply return it within this allowed return rules. It is definitely worth the investment to upgrade what you're trying to do.
Appreciate for the detailed explanation and the demo. I am deciding to buy the Rode wireless go II, and glad I watched this video. Still not 100% clear why balanced connection won't work on the mixer input, I will double check my mixer (Zoom L-8) Manuel and try it. Seems like VXLR is a must.
The VXLR is just a wire to wire connection. This adapter is only good for certain connections/types of mic. Most people have 3.5mm or 1/8 inch plugged condenser mics, which require 5 volts not 48 volts from your mixer's phantom power. The VXLR+ is the appropriate adapter. 3.5mm type condenser mics and the Wireless go receiver, do not produce the twin signal used for balancing, so it makes no difference what adapter you use here, there is no balanced signal. The VXLR Pro converts the single signal from a small condenser mic, or Wireless Go receiver's output, and transforms it into a twinned signal that can be used for balancing and noise reduction. At the same time the Pro version like the Plus version converts the 48volts from the interface or mixer, to 5volts. It is pointless IMO to plug the VXLR Pro directly into a mixer or interface, since there is no signal over wires to balance. The VXLR Plus is correct though the Pro will also work. Where the VXLR PRO is useful, is when you need to send a wired signal from a 3.5mm plugged condenser mic, over a long distance, in an RF noisy environment. You plug your 3.5mm mic, or the Wireless Go receiver(if you wanted) into the VXLR Pro, then run a length of XLR cable to your mixer or interface from the VXLR Pro. This creates a balanced signal through the XLR cables.
Wow thanks so much Didn’t know this! I’ve used the RCA inputs which also kinda works but this seems to be what I’ve been missing PS: I’ve got a cheap wireless hand held mic that actually works ok for speech. When connecting to a karaoke wireless speaker it works fine but not to a proper mixer. Would it be because of the same reason mentioned in the video?
You got it my friend and when you do hook your mic to channel one or two of the mixer with a standard XLR, make sure you got good gain structure. If you are using a lapel mic like what’s in the video, you’ll need the VXLR. Does your hand held mic have an XLR out similar to the Shure SM58?
@@gfire_productions hi thanks buddy. If using a powered lapel like the Boya BY M1 lav mic would it also work with the Rode VXLR? I bought a cheap wireless mic. Was around $15. It works nice for short distance speech. The receiver has a 6.35mm TS jack. I've tried to use it with "line in" on a mixer but doesn't work. Some mixers you need to really push the gain then u get weak sound.
@@Mbee16 VXLR should be good for that Boya BY M1 Also. Look like it also has TRRS mini jack just like Rode. I’d use VXLR and all the adapters I used on n the video. Hope this helps.
I want to use this wireless mic with a large speaker which is to be used in large seminar hall. The bigger speaker has aux in. So can I directly connect the receiver to the speaker? Will there be any feedback problem?
Hello and thank you for watching this video. In the same way I've connected this Wireless Go system to the mixer I can connect it to a powered speaker. As for feedback, you still have to follow the basic fundamentals with microphones in relation to where the speakers are. You can't stand directly in front of a loud blaring speaker with a microphone and not have feedback. I have tested this out personally with the Wireless Go receiver into the back of a powered speaker and realize I can only get so close to the speaker before feedback happened. So make sure that if you go that route with this mic into a speaker that your speaker is up as high as you can get it, pointing at your guest and you are standing behind the speaker, if you walk out in front of it you will risk having feedback as these microphones are sensitive.
Hello Matata and thanks for watching. Unfortunately I have never tried to use my road wireless go system to output for my mixer into any other devices. I also do not use a yolobox box so I cannot intelligently answer that question. Sorry.
OK, so I have this mixer but I'm a performer and I want to have the audio out, say form the headphone jack OR the monitors go to my Rode Wireless so that while I'm gigging my camera is getting good audio from the mixer. Do I put put the 3.5 to 1/4 inch adapter in the headphone jack and then attach the receiver to the 3.5 jack?? Then I'd have the transmitter on my camera with the appropriate cable?? This video was sooooooo close to what I'm looking for......
Because the 6.5 mm is wired as tip ring sleeve or is a balances connection. That is why the Rode VXLR is wired different as stated in the video. My suggestion is to buy the road the XLR to help you get your road wireless go into your mixer.
Hello and thanks for watching AkalyptosUC. Here's what I came up with... I would first start by contacting Boya @ boya-mic.com/contact . Although I do not use the Boya XM6 brand of wireless microphone, I would confidently try the Rode VXLR like I did in this video. I don't see why it wouldn't work however contact Boya first. Worst case scenario with the Rode VXLR does not work and you can always return it within its refund. amzn.to/4aK0H9b PS: if your mixer has phantom power I recommend do not turn it on!!!
Hello Temp06 and thanks for watching. Setting a gain on the microphone receiver is depending on the person talking. Some peoples voices are stronger and more overpowering than others with soft-spoken voices. the Wireless Go gives you the option to adjust between three settings depending on how loud the speaker is. In my case if I set my receiver to it for this volume it would actually distorted my voice.
@@leocj Great question. It’s not required so I don’t use fantom power with the wireless go.. It certainly is worth finding out from Rode technical support directly though because certain mics they have does require phantom power, but not 48 V. Some of there mic units require a much lower voltage so 48 V will damage them. I reiterate that’s a great question for Rode technical support.
@@gfire_productions according to my research I found that it is safe to use VXLR PRO so that we don't have to worry about phantom power and damaging wireless pro.
Hi, I want to use these mic with Yamaha mixer and Bose speakers in our Auditorium. Do you think there will be a feedback problem or whistle noise. Thanks :)
Hello NABI ITC and thanks for watching. Any microphone is subject to feedback if improperly placed near a speaker. If your Bose speakers are spread out wide enough where the mic will not be picked up by them, you should not have a feedback problem. You can also use the 3 band EQ on the Yamaha mixer to assist with avoiding feedback. Again, speaker placement is going to be a major factor in this.
Hello Brandon and thanks for watching. It will work the same. Only difference is is the Rode Wireless Go II has two transmitters with one receiver vs the Rode Wireless Go having a single transmitter and receiver. Rode VXLR Link: Rode VXLR @t
Hi, great video.. I need to connect from this go receiver to an amp that has RCA unbalanced connectors. My question is will a 3.5mm TRS to RCA LR adapter work? I reckon it should as RCA isn't wired as balanced..any ideas?
Hello DJ Neumatic. That really depends because like any microphone, you still have to follow basic fundamentals of microphone placement and EQing when you are using a microphone with a live speaker. I have use the Rode wireless go with a PA system and of course when I get too close to the speaker it will feedback because that is an Omni-directional microphone. However with the right speaker placement and the use of an EQ to help with certain frequencies, I have performed many weddings with no problems.
Hi, nice video! i have a question: is possible use the rode to amplifier a person on a conference room? have some problems if the rode are near the sound speaker? I investigating it to connect mutiple rodes on a mixer and amplifier it in a conference room.
It is possible however, like any mic in a room with speakers, you have to be able to deal with ringing out the feed back. With some microphones you may be able to do this effectively with the built EQ onto the mixer especially with a hand held mic. With lapel mics you may benefit even more from having a 31 band eq so you can deal with specific frequencies that give feedback. Sometimes lapel mics can be highly sensitive and not as ideal in a small room setting with speakers. But to be clear people do conferences with the pill makes all the time. I put a few tips below; 1. make sure your microphone is not in the path of the speakers if possible 2. get the speakers on stands as high as possible 3. Try to have your speakers in front of you when you're speaking. 4. a 31 band EQ can ring out feedback a lot better than the three band eq built onto the mixer. 5. I'm setting the gain structure on the mic, turn it up to just before feedback and back off 1/4 turn. then di any EQing.
@@marianozubaran5146 I've use the Rode Wireless Go in several Zoom conferences before and I didn't have any latency issues. In the video itself that I made you can see I didn't have any latency. Since the time of making this video I have done over 15 Zoom calls with the Rode Wireless Go Without Latency.
But the VXLR doesn't convert unbalanced to balanced, the VXLR Pro does that. The regular VXLR is just a one to one connection. Shouldn't this work with any kind of 3.5mm to XLR adapter?
I thought so at first but regular adaptors and cables did not work like that so I had to get to the VXLR because nothing else worked. The VXLR in my case works great though. Thanks for watching bro.
I wonder if this is specific for Rode. I'm going to by the Lark Max from Hollyland and I would like to do the same but without paying the Rode markup.@@gfire_productions
Thanks man, this was really helpful. My question is, will the quality of the mic output be better if I take it through an audio interface then to my pc as compared to directly connecting to the pc (rode wireless go II)?
It depends on what your interface capabilities are. In my case, yes because each channel on my mixer, which is an interface, has an EQ. If I were connecting directly to my PC I would need to depend on the software to have an EQ to make it sound better. Software like OBS DAWs maybe but I can't say the same for things like Facebook, RUclips, Microsoft teams, or Zoom. Personally I think the Rode Wireless Go sounds good right out of the box. I use it in three scenarios… 1 Facebook and RUclips live with my iPhone, 2 Recording video directly to my cell phone and later use video editing software to make a RUclips video, and 3 Recording through my mixer into any platform like you see in this video.
@@gfire_productions I have Rode AI-1 as my interface that does not have advanced capabilities like yours. So I'll stick to just plugging into my pc. Thanks again!
Thank you very much for this video! I have one question. Can I use the XLR => 1/4" adapter on top of the VXLR connector? Is it still unbalanced and usable because my mixer does not have an XLR connection? Thank you.
Very glad to help. It is my goal to help as many people as possible but sharing my lessons learned or tips & tricks. Good success to you RoninDow, thank for watching.
my mixer have laptop w/music , mic and speaker connected to a mixer all them are operating. how to record clean mic audio with wireless mic that is connected withoud disconnected or lowering the instrument sound output?
@@dmgfilmproductionandphotog1567 You’ll need to adjust the volumes of all instruments so they blend well together. Then turn up the master volume to your liking.
@@gfire_productions what i mean is there any separate track for mic audio? since i'm a video editor i would like to change the old music background by new music background i will change in post production.
@@dmgfilmproductionandphotog1567 To be clear I put the music in this video on a separate track in iMovie on my Mac. So the mics were recorded though the mixer in OBS then imported to iMovie. Now if I wanted to record mics and music in one take with this mixer, I would put my iPad on channel 5/6 and turn up the volume so it blends well with the mic. That works well when I’m vlogging live though but as soon as I start to edit in post. The music would sound like it’s skipping around the track when I cut out parts of the video with music in it.
@@gfire_productionsthat a nice idea but i have limited device i can bring in any event. i would like to know if you have any idea recording audio in separate tracks without using a laptop. i heard about audio interface i dont know if can get the job done
@@dmgfilmproductionandphotog1567 interfaces are generally a way to get all of your analog instruments and mic’s through it(like my mixer) and into some kind of recording software. This mixer is very limited on outputs so the best you can do is send your left & right out to an external recorder. Now, if you were using a more advanced interface, that allows you to send multiple channels from the mixer through a USB into multiple channels of recording software, you would still need a computer or laptop to get that done. The MG10XU is a simple mixer/interface with limited capabilities. Maybe consider a Tascam Model 12 for what you’re trying to do.
According to www.rode.com/faq/will-phantom-power-damage-my-mic-psu: No, whilst these power supplies do not require phantom power, they are built to cope with being fed phantom power and this will not damage the equipment. It is however advised that where possible, to turn off phantom power when not in use.
Hi, Thank you so much, do you use this for ceremonies through the speakers live for example so guests can hear the vows of the couple ? This would be better than a traditional rack wireless system as it doesn't need mains power
Hello Tone Ranger. First let me say thank you for watching our video and supporting our channel. We personally do not use the Rode Wireless Go for ceremonies because we're at lots of of very large and high-end weddings plus we usually more than 30 feet away from the lapel mic. I used to use Shure PGXD and BLX before. The problem I was having there is once all the people stood up between where the lapel mic was and my receiver, it sometimes caused dropouts because of the bodies was like a thick wall. I've since then upgraded to the Shure QLXD microphones to solve the problem because theyuse half wave antenna which allows me to talk the length of a football field or through buildings, literally. To answer your question, you can use the Rode Wireless Go as a lapel mic at a ceremony if it is very close and maybe smaller intimate weddings and certainly a direct line of sight between the transmitter and the receiver. I personally choose not to use that system at a wedding, but I do trust it to Vlog with because if the audio drops out it goes out it's just me making RUclips videos of which I could always do a retake or edit. You cannot however do a retake or edit live at someone's wedding. Use discretion if you are going that route my friend.
Hello there! I was wondering if you use the transmitter alone, without connecting another lapel mic to it. So the setup would be, the transmitter will be the lapel mic and the receiver connected to the analog mixer via xlr male to 3.5 mm jack?
Can anyone help i have it connected with a 1/4 in trs cable to a 3.5mm cable in a bal/unbal and i got sound but very low? The sound is low and i put the volume up and it just give a huge feedback.
Hey Mario-II2vd, I have the links to everything I use in the video in the description above. Make sure you have all of the proper connections. If you do have sound and it's low check your gain on both the Rode Wireless Go you are using and on the actual mixer.
If you are reference the Rode wireless go and the Shure QLXD, yes both work. I use the Rode Wireless Go for the "demo" and the Shure QLXD to make the video. What other question to you have Birdiman?
I really enjoyed your video. How would you connect the output from a mixer into a Wireless Go? I'm using an Allen & Heath QU-16 and would like it's output to go to the input of a Wireless Go which from there is connected to a cell phone. I've used the Wireless Go's built in mic to go to a cell phone's input successfully and the audio is crystal clear. I'd now like to use the output from the QU-16 as input to the Wireless Go. How would I do this? Thanks.
I ordered some stuff To make it happen but I wanted to be sure I’m accurate so I don’t cause nobody to blow their wireless go. If you turned on the notifications you’ll know when that video pop up sir. Thanks for watching and thanks for your support.
Hello Reztan and thanks for watching. I'm not sure how the internals of the CATEFO Star200 T2 work so I don't know for absolute sure if it will work with the VXLR. Contact the manufacture and ask if the in and out of the transmitter and receiver are standard TRS in and outs. If it is then it should be ok wit a VXLR in any mixer.
Awesome video man. I tried the 1/4 inch it didn’t work like your test as well. Just ordered the rode vxlr adapter but I was wondering if the transmitter/receiver works the other way around into the mixer so that I can get all the audio out from the mixer? (For a wedding ceremony so I get both mic & audio into my livestream)
Hey bro that's an excellent question. I would NOT do that because I believe that your mixer is going to have a line level output that's meant to connect to an amplifier or a powered speaker which can take that kind of input. The Rode Wireless Go however is meant to accept a mic level input from say the smart LAV or the smart LAV plus and of course similar lapel mics. Rather you use the auxiliary out of your mixer or the main XLR out, it may be too much for the Rode wireless go transmitter. I am very curious though and I may except this challenge and try to figure it out. My advice is to contact Rode directly to ask a question like that or consider something like the alto stealth or one of the wireless microphone systems like shure, sennheiser or equivalent to get that done. On the other end of those systems though the question is still going to be, is it too much output for what you're hooking into like your computer or your phone. If I went that route I would probably try to use the irig out of the alto stealth or any microphone receiver to step to step down the amount of audio necessary to safely get it into a computer or a phone. I do have a video showing that I came from an XLR cable out of my DJ controller into the I rig and then into my phone for live stream. Bro I'm on fire right now you really got me curious but I have a wedding to perform for today so I'm gonna have to explore this option at a later date.
Great videos! love your content. I have a full size goxlr mixer, couple laptops, stream deck and xlr mic. What would be a good dj controller to pair with my system that wont break the bank and i can learn on? Thank You!
I'd say a good start is the Pioneer DDJ SB3, it's small it does have a lot of the features that some of the more expensive boards have it would be a great fit for podcasting/blogging type set up to play music.Check this out: amzn.to/3fgYN5l
Can this VXLR be used if phantom power is on? I would like to use an AT2020 which requires phantom power on one channel while using the videomicro with the VLXR on another channel. The mixer will not allow independent phantom power. I don't want to fry my videomicro.
Please don't fry you Video Micro. from my understanding the Video Micro need plug in power to work and at a voltage much lower than 48v Phantom Power.. You'll need to convert "Phantom Power" to "Plug in Power". For this you need the VXLR+. After doing research on Rode's website this is my understanding. In other words the VXLR+ converts 48v Phantom Power to approximately 5 volts.Ithe Video Micro can be powered from about 2 voltes to 6 or 7 so the VXLR+ is the tool. Please confirm with RODE help line.
I simply use the USB cable from the mixer to the CPU. Depending on where I'm streaming to like Facebook, RUclips or Zoom, I select inside of each program what my audio source will be ie the Yamaha MG10XU. That gets audio to any program like Facebook, RUclips, Zoom, or any live streaming service directly from the mixer through a USB cable. NOTE: If you do not use OBS to Facebook like my video below, and want to stream audio from your mixer to Facebook, then in the Facebook live settings, choose your camera source and your audio source(MG10XU).

Hey man, super helpful video thanks! If I wanted to take an output from the mixer and send that to the transmitter, how could I achieve that? Could I use a standard jack to jack with a 1/4" adapter from the mixer headphone socket?
The transmitter requires mic level input and supplies "plug in power" to the condenser mic. Output from the mixer would be line level. I doubt anyone makes a converter to run line level from 1/4 inch TRS to mic level 1/8 TRS. It could be done. I would just look for a wireless audio transmitter something like a guitar air jack, except that this is an instrument level signal transmitter. There are audio transmitters/receivers made to do what you want. I used to have an air jack that transmitted to my stereo receiver, and wireless headphones. I could go outside and play with my guitar and listen loudly without anyone knowing I suck playing electric guitar lol I doubt anyone makes a 1/4 inch air jack that converts line level to mic level.
So what is the difference between balanced and unbalanced? I still see three pins. Did the connections change? and .. what happens when you switch on the phantom power (48v) ? Will it destroy the receiver?
A balanced cable, by contrast, has three conductors in the connector and three wires in the cable: two signals wires plus a separate ground wire. As in the unbalanced cable, the ground wire still surrounds the signal wires and is used as a shield against interference. The XLR jack on the Shure wireless receiver is protected from phantom power. The phantom power will not damage the receiver. Rode has a VXLR Plus Adaptor for when you are plugging the Rode
@@gfire_productions i have a mixer with a few microphones two of them require phantom power... to that mixer i wanna add my wireless go, in this case do i need the VXLR+ so i can protect the wireless go transmitter? do that the wireless go output don't require the use of phantom power
@@felipevillaroman2562 I think phantom power for the Yamaha MG10XU will not damage the Wireless Go but I'd consult with the manufacture or the manual to be sure.
two ways：1、impedance matching，use 3.5 to 6.35 trs adaptor and press hi-z button on the mixer 2、use balance to unbalance adaptor like what the video says。
So sorry that you were confused. I was recording the video with a Shure QLXD microphone but demonstrating with the Rode Wireless Go. At some point I did use audio from the Rode in this video. Maybe you have to pause and/or re-look at that part of the video. I hope this helps my friend.
Awesome video! You've answered a lot. I have an idea and this may solve. Let me know what you think. Here is what I am trying to achieve... I want to have a jam session with my guys and I want to patch their laptops into my mixer. A simple line put from their headphone 3.5 jacks. I've tried the 3.5 to 1/4 method but like you said, no power. So since it's coming from a laptop headphone jack, this method should work using the VXLR adapter correct? And also, how is the noise when no sound is coming in? Terrible hiss or white noise? Anways, thanks a bunch fam. Feels like I'm closing in on a solution!
Hey bro the Rode VXLR was specifically designed to get certain models of their lapel mics into a mixer correctly like in my case the Rode Wireless Go. VXLR is wired differently from your standard audio cables. If you want to get a "laptop" audio from the headphone jack into the mixer then you can use a 3.5 mm to XLR cable for that on channels one through four of the Yamaha MG10XU. On channels 5/6 and 7/8 you can use a 3.5 mm to stereo RCA or 3.5 mm to dual 1/4 inch (unbalances) cable. On 9/10 you can only use a 3.5 mm to dual 1/4 inch (unbalanced) cable.
Hello Ben Creations, I will be working on this video soon enough. My goal is to make sure I do it without destroying a wireless go so I don't put out an accurate information. In the meantime, thank you so much for watching and I made a note on my dry erase board to send you a link when I get this video up.
I Don't use any external speakers. I just talk through this mixer and into social media or a video recording program on my MAC. This mic is highly sensitive because it is omnidirectional so prone to feedback if you are near any speakers you may be using. This is why you sometimes see RUclipsrs or bloggers wearing headphones to avoid this. Are you using external speakers? Are you using this set up with Zoom or Microsoft teams?
@@gfire_productions there are speakers in the room we are using. It's for live stream as well as inhouse broadcasting. Perhaps I should plug another mic into the transmitter. Thank u for responding to my inquiry:)
@@iwilpraiseu Well in the case of having speakers in your room just make sure you follow that speaker placement and volume versus where your microphone is to help avoid feedback. Another thing you could do is invest in a 31 band EQ to be able to knock out certain problem frequencies with your microphone. ruclips.net/video/FWN0Ur5PULQ/видео.html

You have absolutely NO IDEA how much this video just helped. I'm live-streaming a wedding in 2 days. I bought a mixer for the audio as I found passing the audio through my ATEM Mini caused issues at older venues with not-so-great power sockets. Came to test things out today and found my theory (just like your first 2 on here) didn't work. VXLR ordered. Thank you!!
Word bro. Im' glad it worked out for you.
Nice! You probably saved me two hours of banging my head of why it wouldn't work.
All good Greg. Keep it in the mix bro.
OMG!! I have looked at so many videos trying to help my church have better audio and I must say, yours is amazing! So thorough and you explained so a dummy (me) could get it!!! Thank you so much! I can’t wait to try it!! 🖤💋
Thanks for watching Juanita. Glad to help and good success to you!!!
Pheww so glad I purchased that rode accessory, this is exactly what I was trying to achieve and decided to purchase the rode instead of another brand.
So a little backstory is I purchased a MackieProfxv6 for some home Kerioke, instead of purchasing shure mics I thought why not get the rode wireless go2 this way I can knock 2 birds with one stone. Use the mics for when I do my family travel videos and use them for karaoke when home.
I did look up videos which this exact setup but didn’t get any results at that time, perhaps you should adjust your title to include a generic analog mixer instead of Yamaha for more hits.
While purchasing the mics I added the vxlr adapter also.
After seeing the video I am glad I did. Just now have to wait for the mixer to arrive and test this out.
I'm glad it worked out for you Mohammed. Thanks for watching and supporting our channel.
Thank you for this video very clear and helpful! Can I ask you a question..after connecting rode to the mixer can that audio come out through speakers that are connected to the mixer as well?
Thank you so much for this very helpful video sir.
I have one more question sir, how about if you attached the transmitter into the mixer and the receiver is connected in camera will the camera receive and record the auido coming from the mixer?
You can do that however, you must significantly reduce the audio output from the mixer so you don't overdrive you camera audio. I have not done this yet but in the the meantime, I use the rode wireless go receiver directly in my camera some times with the transmitter on my person and not in the mixer. Of course that only take care of my voice in the camera. Check out these options: ruclips.net/video/Zx24RGGUqWc/видео.html

@@donays8241 you can use your Lavalier in church but you have to gain it properly and EQ it so you don't get feedback. You also have to have a good speaker placement lab microphones are usually pretty sensitive so if it's not working out for you he's a handheld microphone.
Hi Gfire! Thank you for this video. I have a knock off version of the Go Wireless and was stumped while trying to get them to work with my mixer. Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. works like a charm now! DP down in Austin TX.

Hi Gerald, I was wondering if this is an alternative for a small church in terms of distance (between 10m - 20m of open distance)? Whats your experience? Thanx
Professionally I would not recommend this used in a church. Although it will work fine within the distance of 60 feet there are opportunities for this microphone to have drop outs due to its very small built in antennas. These types of devices have an application more towards Vlogging in my opinion versus an all-out church setting. So if you are considering to use this in that manner, make sure that the receiver has a direct line of sight to the transmitter so that minimizes any in interference.
Thanks for this clear explanation. If it hadn't been for your explanation of the cable (and a clear view of both connectors in one frame), I would have accidentally purchased the Røde SC7 cable (TRRS to TRS) rather than the Røde SC2 (TRS to TRS). Speaking of the SC7 (TRRS to TRS), is it primarily meant to plug into mirrorless cameras, smartphones, and the like. (I'm new to the world of Røde.)
Hello Curbuntu. Thank you for for watching and supporting our channel. As for the SC7 (TRRS to TRS) I use this specifically to get audio out of the Rode Wireless Receiver to my smart phone or tablet. Noe my new iPhone 12 Pro does not have a mini jack port so I us a TRRS to lightning with the SC7 to my Phone. TRS side of SC7 goes in the Rode Receiver, TRRS side goes in the phone if you have that old headphone connection. I showed it here: ruclips.net/video/Zx24RGGUqWc/видео.html
i know this is an old video, but i don’t know if anyone else wants to try this, but what worked for me was a $10 amazon xlr male to 3.5. in the video he used an xlr female with an adapter.
Awesome. I all about what works and glad you found a solution. Thank for watching.
Great walkthrough Gerald! 👊🏻
Running the Røde Wireless Go II with two transmitters, how to split the audio when connecting from the receiver into two separate input channels on the mixer?
In that Case I'd use a y cable (3.5mm TRS to 6.35mm Stereo TS): amzn.to/3U0d8rG . The TRS end would go into your Rode Wireless Go II receiver and the l and R TS ends will go into two separate channels of your mixer. Don't forget the Rode Wireless Go II allows you to set each transmitter to be is own separator channel so make sure you check your settings accordingly. Please let me know how that works out for you.
Thanks man. This has cleared up the issues I was having as I could not get sound through the channel no matter what I tried.
Right on David. I'm glad this helped brother. Keep the party going!
Thanks very much for your help. Just ordered a VXLR to use with a Rode Wireless Pro and Yamaha mixer! Repect!
Right on Michael and glad to help. I can't wait till you're up and running, it's a game changer.
Why are you using lav mic with rode transmitter? Won't the inbuilt mic work the same?
That's a good question Adhokshaja and thanks for watching the video. The built-in mic works absolutely fine however, I it's really just a personal preference to use a lapel mic on my shirts versus this weeks box hanging from it Also in my experience when I wear a round neck T-shirt the transmitter has enough weight to make it look like a V-neck and it looks weird to me. Also I tend to move around a lot specially doing setting up DJ Quitman or whatever and sometimes that Boxton flip out of my T-shirt and I'm always having to adjust it back to his position so I decided to do away with just using the box and clip on a lapel mic.
@@gfire_productions Thanku
One more suggestion I need. Recently I've been watching comparisons of DJI wireless mic with rode 2 go. DJI is still not available in India. But I liked the specifications more than rode wireless 2. People say DJI's customer service is poor. What would you suggest ? Should I stay with rode or try DJI wireless?
@@adhokshajakrishnadas9408 I'm sorry but I cannot intelligently speak about DJI because I don't use any of their equipment. Without being biased towards Rode, I'm more of a use what works till it dies or breaks and Rode is it for me. In fact even though the Rode Wireless Go II is out I still have not purchased it because my original Wireless Go systems still work. I usually don't jump on the bandwagon with everybody else. I just do my research, pick the gear I want, and go for it. Now given the supply chain issues we're having these days and along with the chip shortages, my suggestion is first to see if the Rode can work out for you maybe some settings could change and get you the results you're looking for. Maybe later if you can wait for the DJI system go for it. I am however huge on customer service so I can attest that Rode has great customer service and has helped me resolve issues with my system to include replacing a bad system. Again I cannot speak for DJI because I do not use their equipment nor have I experienced their customer service issues.
hi.. tnx for this video.. i have a question, is this safe for my wireless go if the phantom power is on?
the phantom power in our church mixer is always on considering a lot of mics are used..

Awesome Ronan. Glad to help and thanks for watching.
How would you output audio from the Mixer to camcorder(camera) using Rode (wireless)?
Is this good for ceremony ? Use the vxlr into a powered speaker..one mic on jp one mic on groom?
It could work however, you should seriously test this out before a wedding!!! The Rode Wireless Go system is great but I trusted as far as flying or making videos that way if something goes wrong it's just me making my video which I could recover from that. But if there's an issue at a wedding then that is absolutely terrible. I use the Shure QLXD microphones for wedding ceremonies but I use the Rode Wireless Go for making videos or in very close spaces like in my home to avoid potential for drop outs. Weddings are such a big deal so you want to make sure you have absolute reliability when it comes to wireless technology.
@@gfire_productions thanks for making
This clear i was one in a weird situation where there was mountains, a lake and literally like 200 guests my sennheiser g4 unfortunately wouldn’t do the job with bad frequency signal, luckily my brother in law was with me and he plugged in the rode pro and omg it saved my ass! Big time! However, I’d still be very sceptical about it maybe i just got lucky.
@@claudiovalero6449 I did a test with this video on yesterday and it will work as a ceremony Mike. My approximate distance was about 30 to 60 feet the transmitter on my shirt and the receiver plugged into the back of the QSC K8 that too. Other things to consider though is putting a bunch of bodies in between the units so make sure you have a good clear line of sight because the soon as they're not like a traditional Sennheiser I'm sure microphones with quarter wave or halfwave antennas.

Hey nice video I have
Question would it work the opposites way transmitter on mixer and receiver on iPad to record sound if I can use it wedding to record audio from the mixer
That's a great question and you could definitely put your receiver into an iPhone or an iPad accordingly. As for the transmitter though I'm really not sure at the moment if it's able to except a line level signal from your mixer because it may be too much. This would be a question better suited for Rode Tech Support. I'm really just not sure if the transmitter can handle that kind of input even if you were to use a DI box from your mixer out to step down the audio and then into the Rode Wireless Go transmitter.
Thank you brother,I’ve been struggling connecting my wireless go 2 with my Yolobox pro.I’m starting to think it’s the cable types.
Awesome, Glad to help bro. Thank for watching and supporting our channel.
Will VXLR also work for the COMICA Boom XD?
Thanks for watching. I have never used this particular unit however, I just read the manual from the B&H website ( www.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/588200.pdf ). Giving it come with just about all of the components that my Rode system has, It looks like it will work just fine. If you find out it does not simply return it within this allowed return rules. It is definitely worth the investment to upgrade what you're trying to do.

Thanks for watching bro. VXLR is a must even in the Zoom recorders. WGII: amzn.to/3g502Vb and VXLR: Rode VXLR @t
Thanks for watching tom40hk. VXLR is a must even in the Zooms.
VXLR: Rode VXLR: amzn.to/3t7bRyd
Wireless Go II: amzn.to/3g502Vb
The VXLR is just a wire to wire connection. This adapter is only good for certain connections/types of mic. Most people have 3.5mm or 1/8 inch plugged condenser mics, which require 5 volts not 48 volts from your mixer's phantom power. The VXLR+ is the appropriate adapter.
3.5mm type condenser mics and the Wireless go receiver, do not produce the twin signal used for balancing, so it makes no difference what adapter you use here, there is no balanced signal. The VXLR Pro converts the single signal from a small condenser mic, or Wireless Go receiver's output, and transforms it into a twinned signal that can be used for balancing and noise reduction. At the same time the Pro version like the Plus version converts the 48volts from the interface or mixer, to 5volts. It is pointless IMO to plug the VXLR Pro directly into a mixer or interface, since there is no signal over wires to balance. The VXLR Plus is correct though the Pro will also work. Where the VXLR PRO is useful, is when you need to send a wired signal from a 3.5mm plugged condenser mic, over a long distance, in an RF noisy environment. You plug your 3.5mm mic, or the Wireless Go receiver(if you wanted) into the VXLR Pro, then run a length of XLR cable to your mixer or interface from the VXLR Pro. This creates a balanced signal through the XLR cables.
Wow thanks so much
Didn’t know this! I’ve used the RCA inputs which also kinda works but this seems to be what I’ve been missing
PS: I’ve got a cheap wireless hand held mic that actually works ok for speech. When connecting to a karaoke wireless speaker it works fine but not to a proper mixer.
Would it be because of the same reason mentioned in the video?
You got it my friend and when you do hook your mic to channel one or two of the mixer with a standard XLR, make sure you got good gain structure.
If you are using a lapel mic like what’s in the video, you’ll need the VXLR.
Does your hand held mic have an XLR out similar to the Shure SM58?
@@gfire_productions hi thanks buddy. If using a powered lapel like the Boya BY M1 lav mic would it also work with the Rode VXLR?
I bought a cheap wireless mic. Was around $15. It works nice for short distance speech. The receiver has a 6.35mm TS jack. I've tried to use it with "line in" on a mixer but doesn't work. Some mixers you need to really push the gain then u get weak sound.
@@Mbee16 VXLR should be good for that Boya BY M1 Also. Look like it also has TRRS mini jack just like Rode. I’d use VXLR and all the adapters I used on n the video. Hope this helps.
I want to use this wireless mic with a large speaker which is to be used in large seminar hall. The bigger speaker has aux in. So can I directly connect the receiver to the speaker? Will there be any feedback problem?
Hello and thank you for watching this video. In the same way I've connected this Wireless Go system to the mixer I can connect it to a powered speaker. As for feedback, you still have to follow the basic fundamentals with microphones in relation to where the speakers are. You can't stand directly in front of a loud blaring speaker with a microphone and not have feedback. I have tested this out personally with the Wireless Go receiver into the back of a powered speaker and realize I can only get so close to the speaker before feedback happened. So make sure that if you go that route with this mic into a speaker that your speaker is up as high as you can get it, pointing at your guest and you are standing behind the speaker, if you walk out in front of it you will risk having feedback as these microphones are sensitive.
@@gfire_productions thanku very much
Hi there. Is the third theory possible when you want audio out of the mixer using transmitter to audio into a yolobox for Livestreaming?
Hello Matata and thanks for watching. Unfortunately I have never tried to use my road wireless go system to output for my mixer into any other devices. I also do not use a yolobox box so I cannot intelligently answer that question. Sorry.
I just found this video: ruclips.net/video/WGdsQAdXn4c/видео.html
OK, so I have this mixer but I'm a performer and I want to have the audio out, say form the headphone jack OR the monitors go to my Rode Wireless so that while I'm gigging my camera is getting good audio from the mixer. Do I put put the 3.5 to 1/4 inch adapter in the headphone jack and then attach the receiver to the 3.5 jack?? Then I'd have the transmitter on my camera with the appropriate cable??
This video was sooooooo close to what I'm looking for......
YOU SAVED MY WIRELESS!
Cool man!!!
Hello! Why can’t I connect my rode wireless go to line input with a 3.5 to 6.35 mm converter ?
Because the 6.5 mm is wired as tip ring sleeve or is a balances connection. That is why the Rode VXLR is wired different as stated in the video. My suggestion is to buy the road the XLR to help you get your road wireless go into your mixer.
Can you find me a solution for my wireles mic Boya by xm6 s2? I appreciate your help!
Hello and thanks for watching AkalyptosUC. Here's what I came up with... I would first start by contacting Boya @ boya-mic.com/contact . Although I do not use the Boya XM6 brand of wireless microphone, I would confidently try the Rode VXLR like I did in this video. I don't see why it wouldn't work however contact Boya first. Worst case scenario with the Rode VXLR does not work and you can always return it within its refund. amzn.to/4aK0H9b PS: if your mixer has phantom power I recommend do not turn it on!!!
Are you setting the Gain (dB selection) on yr Receiver correctly?
It Should be set Fullest at 0dB
It should Not be set at -12dB
Hello Temp06 and thanks for watching. Setting a gain on the microphone receiver is depending on the person talking. Some peoples voices are stronger and more overpowering than others with soft-spoken voices. the Wireless Go gives you the option to adjust between three settings depending on how loud the speaker is. In my case if I set my receiver to it for this volume it would actually distorted my voice.
Thanks mate! Been trying to figure out how to make this work to no avail.
You’re welcome Denn.
What happens when you turn on phantom power on that XLR connected to Rode receiver
@@leocj Great question. It’s not required so I don’t use fantom power with the wireless go.. It certainly is worth finding out from Rode technical support directly though because certain mics they have does require phantom power, but not 48 V. Some of there mic units require a much lower voltage so 48 V will damage them. I reiterate that’s a great question for Rode technical support.
@@gfire_productions according to my research I found that it is safe to use VXLR PRO so that we don't have to worry about phantom power and damaging wireless pro.
Can I use this for live conference (not live streaming) will the sound come out of the speaker I use for the conference?
Yes you can. just hook up you speaker with the appropriate cables from the mixer main L/R out then turn up the master volume.
What would happen if you connect the balanced pin into the balanced inputs 4,5 or 6?
Hi, I want to use these mic with Yamaha mixer and Bose speakers in our Auditorium. Do you think there will be a feedback problem or whistle noise. Thanks :)
Hello NABI ITC and thanks for watching. Any microphone is subject to feedback if improperly placed near a speaker. If your Bose speakers are spread out wide enough where the mic will not be picked up by them, you should not have a feedback problem. You can also use the 3 band EQ on the Yamaha mixer to assist with avoiding feedback. Again, speaker placement is going to be a major factor in this.
Does this setup work with the Rode wireless Go 2 as well?
Hello Brandon and thanks for watching. It will work the same. Only difference is is the Rode Wireless Go II has two transmitters with one receiver vs the Rode Wireless Go having a single transmitter and receiver. Rode VXLR Link: Rode VXLR @t
Hi, great video.. I need to connect from this go receiver to an amp that has RCA unbalanced connectors. My question is will a 3.5mm TRS to RCA LR adapter work? I reckon it should as RCA isn't wired as balanced..any ideas?
But will the RODE feedback over the PA?
Hello DJ Neumatic. That really depends because like any microphone, you still have to follow basic fundamentals of microphone placement and EQing when you are using a microphone with a live speaker. I have use the Rode wireless go with a PA system and of course when I get too close to the speaker it will feedback because that is an Omni-directional microphone. However with the right speaker placement and the use of an EQ to help with certain frequencies, I have performed many weddings with no problems.
Hi, nice video! i have a question: is possible use the rode to amplifier a person on a conference room? have some problems if the rode are near the sound speaker?
I investigating it to connect mutiple rodes on a mixer and amplifier it in a conference room.
It is possible however, like any mic in a room with speakers, you have to be able to deal with ringing out the feed back. With some microphones you may be able to do this effectively with the built EQ onto the mixer especially with a hand held mic. With lapel mics you may benefit even more from having a 31 band eq so you can deal with specific frequencies that give feedback. Sometimes lapel mics can be highly sensitive and not as ideal in a small room setting with speakers. But to be clear people do conferences with the pill makes all the time. I put a few tips below;
1. make sure your microphone is not in the path of the speakers if possible
2. get the speakers on stands as high as possible
3. Try to have your speakers in front of you when you're speaking.
4. a 31 band EQ can ring out feedback a lot better than the three band eq built onto the mixer.
5. I'm setting the gain structure on the mic, turn it up to just before feedback and back off 1/4 turn. then di any EQing.
@@gfire_productions thanks for you answer!
is possible use a lot of this mics in a videoconference? have too much latency?
@@marianozubaran5146 I've use the Rode Wireless Go in several Zoom conferences before and I didn't have any latency issues. In the video itself that I made you can see I didn't have any latency. Since the time of making this video I have done over 15 Zoom calls with the Rode Wireless Go Without Latency.
But the VXLR doesn't convert unbalanced to balanced, the VXLR Pro does that. The regular VXLR is just a one to one connection. Shouldn't this work with any kind of 3.5mm to XLR adapter?
I thought so at first but regular adaptors and cables did not work like that so I had to get to the VXLR because nothing else worked. The VXLR in my case works great though. Thanks for watching bro.
I wonder if this is specific for Rode. I'm going to by the Lark Max from Hollyland and I would like to do the same but without paying the Rode markup.@@gfire_productions
Thanks man, this was really helpful. My question is, will the quality of the mic output be better if I take it through an audio interface then to my pc as compared to directly connecting to the pc (rode wireless go II)?
It depends on what your interface capabilities are. In my case, yes because each channel on my mixer, which is an interface, has an EQ.
If I were connecting directly to my PC I would need to depend on the software to have an EQ to make it sound better. Software like OBS DAWs maybe but I can't say the same for things like Facebook, RUclips, Microsoft teams, or Zoom.
Personally I think the Rode Wireless Go sounds good right out of the box. I use it in three scenarios… 1 Facebook and RUclips live with my iPhone, 2 Recording video directly to my cell phone and later use video editing software to make a RUclips video, and 3 Recording through my mixer into any platform like you see in this video.
@@gfire_productions I have Rode AI-1 as my interface that does not have advanced capabilities like yours. So I'll stick to just plugging into my pc. Thanks again!
@@adityagoela awesome brother. It's all about the results no matter how you get there. Good success to you!!
Thank you very much for this video! I have one question. Can I use the XLR => 1/4" adapter on top of the VXLR connector? Is it still unbalanced and usable because my mixer does not have an XLR connection? Thank you.
What a great video ‼️ This was needed‼️
Thank you Gary.
You are such a great,,
You have no idea of how much it helped,,
Thank youuuuuuu
You're welcome Inspiring Edit. Thank you for supporting our channel.
Bro Thank you Thank YOU Thank YOU I get it now.... I was so frustrated before and was about to return my mics lol
Very glad to help. It is my goal to help as many people as possible but sharing my lessons learned or tips & tricks. Good success to you RoninDow, thank for watching.
my mixer have laptop w/music , mic and speaker connected to a mixer all them are operating. how to record clean mic audio with wireless mic that is connected withoud disconnected or lowering the instrument sound output?
@@dmgfilmproductionandphotog1567 You’ll need to adjust the volumes of all instruments so they blend well together. Then turn up the master volume to your liking.
@@gfire_productions what i mean is there any separate track for mic audio? since i'm a video editor i would like to change the old music background by new music background i will change in post production.
@@dmgfilmproductionandphotog1567 To be clear I put the music in this video on a separate track in iMovie on my Mac. So the mics were recorded though the mixer in OBS then imported to iMovie.
Now if I wanted to record mics and music in one take with this mixer, I would put my iPad on channel 5/6 and turn up the volume so it blends well with the mic.
That works well when I’m vlogging live though but as soon as I start to edit in post. The music would sound like it’s skipping around the track when I cut out parts of the video with music in it.
@@gfire_productionsthat a nice idea but i have limited device i can bring in any event. i would like to know if you have any idea recording audio in separate tracks without using a laptop. i heard about audio interface i dont know if can get the job done
@@dmgfilmproductionandphotog1567 interfaces are generally a way to get all of your analog instruments and mic’s through it(like my mixer) and into some kind of recording software. This mixer is very limited on outputs so the best you can do is send your left & right out to an external recorder. Now, if you were using a more advanced interface, that allows you to send multiple channels from the mixer through a USB into multiple channels of recording software, you would still need a computer or laptop to get that done. The MG10XU is a simple mixer/interface with limited capabilities. Maybe consider a Tascam Model 12 for what you’re trying to do.
Great video! If I have phantom 48 on for a boom mic, could it end up frying the wireless go?
I’m using a Profx10
According to www.rode.com/faq/will-phantom-power-damage-my-mic-psu: No, whilst these power supplies do not require phantom power, they are built to cope with being fed phantom power and this will not damage the equipment. It is however advised that where possible, to turn off phantom power when not in use.
@@gfire_productions you the man! Thank you!
Hi, Thank you so much, do you use this for ceremonies through the speakers live for example so guests can hear the vows of the couple ?
This would be better than a traditional rack wireless system as it doesn't need mains power
Hello Tone Ranger. First let me say thank you for watching our video and supporting our channel. We personally do not use the Rode Wireless Go for ceremonies because we're at lots of of very large and high-end weddings plus we usually more than 30 feet away from the lapel mic. I used to use Shure PGXD and BLX before. The problem I was having there is once all the people stood up between where the lapel mic was and my receiver, it sometimes caused dropouts because of the bodies was like a thick wall. I've since then upgraded to the Shure QLXD microphones to solve the problem because theyuse half wave antenna which allows me to talk the length of a football field or through buildings, literally.
To answer your question, you can use the Rode Wireless Go as a lapel mic at a ceremony if it is very close and maybe smaller intimate weddings and certainly a direct line of sight between the transmitter and the receiver. I personally choose not to use that system at a wedding, but I do trust it to Vlog with because if the audio drops out it goes out it's just me making RUclips videos of which I could always do a retake or edit. You cannot however do a retake or edit live at someone's wedding. Use discretion if you are going that route my friend.
Hello there! I was wondering if you use the transmitter alone, without connecting another lapel mic to it. So the setup would be, the transmitter will be the lapel mic and the receiver connected to the analog mixer via xlr male to 3.5 mm jack?
amazing video, i was struggling with the same problem, and you just solved it. Thank you for sharing. Awsome!!
Thanks for watching and glad to help.
Can anyone help i have it connected with a 1/4 in trs cable to a 3.5mm cable in a bal/unbal and i got sound but very low? The sound is low and i put the volume up and it just give a huge feedback.
Hey Mario-II2vd, I have the links to everything I use in the video in the description above. Make sure you have all of the proper connections. If you do have sound and it's low check your gain on both the Rode Wireless Go you are using and on the actual mixer.
@@gfire_productionsthanks for the answer, just to confirm can the wireless go take phantom power?
Disregard message
@@Mario-ll2vd 48v phantom power IS NOT RECOMMENDED. This could damage the wireless go. Rode tech support or the manual has more details.
Thanks for the clear explanation!
You're welcome, glad to help.Thanks for watching.
Can I use this for Zoom L-20 mixer?
Yes you can Richard.
@@gfire_productions Thank you so much!
does both microphone works?
If you are reference the Rode wireless go and the Shure QLXD, yes both work. I use the Rode Wireless Go for the "demo" and the Shure QLXD to make the video. What other question to you have Birdiman?
What about a digital soundboard?
It works the same.
I really enjoyed your video. How would you connect the output from a mixer into a Wireless Go? I'm using an Allen & Heath QU-16 and would like it's output to go to the input of a Wireless Go which from there is connected to a cell phone. I've used the Wireless Go's built in mic to go to a cell phone's input successfully and the audio is crystal clear. I'd now like to use the output from the QU-16 as input to the Wireless Go. How would I do this? Thanks.
I ordered some stuff To make it happen but I wanted to be sure I’m accurate so I don’t cause nobody to blow their wireless go. If you turned on the notifications you’ll know when that video pop up sir. Thanks for watching and thanks for your support.
in using a simple try rode cable to a try to 1/4 cable, works like a charm!
Cool and thank for watching Mia Mama. Do you happen to have the model numbers of both cables you're using?
Is it works if I plug this RODE VXLR into my Yamaha TF3 mixer, and use Wireless Clip on? I want to buy CATEFO Star200 T2 Wireless microphone Clip On
Hello Reztan and thanks for watching. I'm not sure how the internals of the CATEFO Star200 T2 work so I don't know for absolute sure if it will work with the VXLR. Contact the manufacture and ask if the in and out of the transmitter and receiver are standard TRS in and outs. If it is then it should be ok wit a VXLR in any mixer.
@@gfire_productions thank you. this video really helpful. We want to use it for Church. We need wireless mic so some of us do the dance and sing 😁.
@@qinb I wish you the best success with that.
Awesome video man. I tried the 1/4 inch it didn’t work like your test as well. Just ordered the rode vxlr adapter but I was wondering if the transmitter/receiver works the other way around into the mixer so that I can get all the audio out from the mixer? (For a wedding ceremony so I get both mic & audio into my livestream)
Hey bro that's an excellent question. I would NOT do that because I believe that your mixer is going to have a line level output that's meant to connect to an amplifier or a powered speaker which can take that kind of input. The Rode Wireless Go however is meant to accept a mic level input from say the smart LAV or the smart LAV plus and of course similar lapel mics. Rather you use the auxiliary out of your mixer or the main XLR out, it may be too much for the Rode wireless go transmitter. I am very curious though and I may except this challenge and try to figure it out. My advice is to contact Rode directly to ask a question like that or consider something like the alto stealth or one of the wireless microphone systems like shure, sennheiser or equivalent to get that done. On the other end of those systems though the question is still going to be, is it too much output for what you're hooking into like your computer or your phone. If I went that route I would probably try to use the irig out of the alto stealth or any microphone receiver to step to step down the amount of audio necessary to safely get it into a computer or a phone. I do have a video showing that I came from an XLR cable out of my DJ controller into the I rig and then into my phone for live stream. Bro I'm on fire right now you really got me curious but I have a wedding to perform for today so I'm gonna have to explore this option at a later date.
@@gfire_productions Thanks man. Appreciate the reply
Will there be latency using wireless mic in zoom/Google meet causing feedback loop? I need to feed the mixer to a big speaker in a conference room .
So far I have an experienced any latency.
Great videos! love your content. I have a full size goxlr mixer, couple laptops, stream deck and xlr mic. What would be a good dj controller to pair with my system that wont break the bank and i can learn on?
Thank You!
I'd say a good start is the Pioneer DDJ SB3, it's small it does have a lot of the features that some of the more expensive boards have it would be a great fit for podcasting/blogging type set up to play music.Check this out: amzn.to/3fgYN5l
Can this VXLR be used if phantom power is on? I would like to use an AT2020 which requires phantom power on one channel while using the videomicro with the VLXR on another channel. The mixer will not allow independent phantom power. I don't want to fry my videomicro.
Please don't fry you Video Micro. from my understanding the Video Micro need plug in power to work and at a voltage much lower than 48v Phantom Power.. You'll need to convert "Phantom Power" to "Plug in Power". For this you need the VXLR+. After doing research on Rode's website this is my understanding. In other words the VXLR+ converts 48v Phantom Power to approximately 5 volts.Ithe Video Micro can be powered from about 2 voltes to 6 or 7 so the VXLR+ is the tool. Please confirm with RODE help line.
What if I want the sound from the house (mixer) into the camera for live streaming church service?
I simply use the USB cable from the mixer to the CPU. Depending on where I'm streaming to like Facebook, RUclips or Zoom, I select inside of each program what my audio source will be ie the Yamaha MG10XU. That gets audio to any program like Facebook, RUclips, Zoom, or any live streaming service directly from the mixer through a USB cable. NOTE: If you do not use OBS to Facebook like my video below, and want to stream audio from your mixer to Facebook, then in the Facebook live settings, choose your camera source and your audio source(MG10XU).

Thank you! I was wondering if it was my mic or the mixer that was the problem. I have the exact same mixer too.
You're welcome and thanks for watching Abraham.
@@gfire_productions got that vxlr through your link too
@@Bigpoppaabe8 Awesome bro and good success to you with you endeavors.
Hey man, super helpful video thanks! If I wanted to take an output from the mixer and send that to the transmitter, how could I achieve that? Could I use a standard jack to jack with a 1/4" adapter from the mixer headphone socket?
The transmitter requires mic level input and supplies "plug in power" to the condenser mic.
Output from the mixer would be line level.
I doubt anyone makes a converter to run line level from 1/4 inch TRS to mic level 1/8 TRS. It could be done. I would just look for a wireless audio transmitter something like a guitar air jack, except that this is an instrument level signal transmitter. There are audio transmitters/receivers made to do what you want. I used to have an air jack that transmitted to my stereo receiver, and wireless headphones. I could go outside and play with my guitar and listen loudly without anyone knowing I suck playing electric guitar lol
I doubt anyone makes a 1/4 inch air jack that converts line level to mic level.

DUUUUUUUUUDE! GREAT VIDEO. THANKS A MILLION
You are very welcome Tone Wars. I’m glad this video helped you, I may you have a good success.
@@gfire_productions I already bought the necessary equipment. It works perfectly. Thank you very much
Will this work with other brands?
Sure will. One of my DJ has a Mackie Mixer.
So what is the difference between balanced and unbalanced? I still see three pins. Did the connections change? and .. what happens when you switch on the phantom power (48v) ? Will it destroy the receiver?
A balanced cable, by contrast, has three conductors in the connector and three wires in the cable: two signals wires plus a separate ground wire. As in the unbalanced cable, the ground wire still surrounds the signal wires and is used as a shield against interference.
The XLR jack on the Shure wireless receiver is protected from phantom power. The phantom power will not damage the receiver. Rode has a VXLR Plus Adaptor for when you are plugging the Rode
@@gfire_productions i have a mixer with a few microphones two of them require phantom power... to that mixer i wanna add my wireless go, in this case do i need the VXLR+ so i can protect the wireless go transmitter? do that the wireless go output don't require the use of phantom power
@@felipevillaroman2562 I think phantom power for the Yamaha MG10XU will not damage the Wireless Go but I'd consult with the manufacture or the manual to be sure.
two ways：1、impedance matching，use 3.5 to 6.35 trs adaptor and press hi-z button on the mixer 2、use balance to unbalance adaptor like what the video says。
Hello and thanks for watching. I don't recall having a hazard button on this particular mixing but I'll check again later.

So sorry that you were confused. I was recording the video with a Shure QLXD microphone but demonstrating with the Rode Wireless Go. At some point I did use audio from the Rode in this video. Maybe you have to pause and/or re-look at that part of the video. I hope this helps my friend.
Great video! Thanks a lot!
You're welcome Emilia. Thank you for your support and watching our videos.
Awesome video! You've answered a lot. I have an idea and this may solve. Let me know what you think. Here is what I am trying to achieve...
I want to have a jam session with my guys and I want to patch their laptops into my mixer. A simple line put from their headphone 3.5 jacks. I've tried the 3.5 to 1/4 method but like you said, no power. So since it's coming from a laptop headphone jack, this method should work using the VXLR adapter correct?
And also, how is the noise when no sound is coming in? Terrible hiss or white noise? Anways, thanks a bunch fam. Feels like I'm closing in on a solution!
Hey bro the Rode VXLR was specifically designed to get certain models of their lapel mics into a mixer correctly like in my case the Rode Wireless Go. VXLR is wired differently from your standard audio cables.
If you want to get a "laptop" audio from the headphone jack into the mixer then you can use a 3.5 mm to XLR cable for that on channels one through four of the Yamaha MG10XU. On channels 5/6 and 7/8 you can use a 3.5 mm to stereo RCA or 3.5 mm to dual 1/4 inch (unbalances) cable. On 9/10 you can only use a 3.5 mm to dual 1/4 inch (unbalanced) cable.

Glad to help and thanks for watching my friend.
I tried this and i got a lot of feed back. Why didn't you get any feedback?
I Don't use any external speakers. I just talk through this mixer and into social media or a video recording program on my MAC. This mic is highly sensitive because it is omnidirectional so prone to feedback if you are near any speakers you may be using. This is why you sometimes see RUclipsrs or bloggers wearing headphones to avoid this. Are you using external speakers? Are you using this set up with Zoom or Microsoft teams?
@@gfire_productions there are speakers in the room we are using. It's for live stream as well as inhouse broadcasting. Perhaps I should plug another mic into the transmitter.
Thank u for responding to my inquiry:)
@@iwilpraiseu Well in the case of having speakers in your room just make sure you follow that speaker placement and volume versus where your microphone is to help avoid feedback. Another thing you could do is invest in a 31 band EQ to be able to knock out certain problem frequencies with your microphone. ruclips.net/video/FWN0Ur5PULQ/видео.html
