It's a nice simple idea and although not the preferred method it would certainly work. And if it's working for you and getting decent results and that's all that matters. As somebody who's coming in from the sound speeds reaction video I am going to summarize all of my comments over there into one comment here for anybody else. oh I see what the "amplifying wire" is, it changes from a 3.5 TRS to a 3.5 TRRS basically going iPhone to lining/microphone ( it's a rode adapter ). That's a misinterpretation of functions and I imagine the thinking it was a little like this... "I don't hear anything, oh I put this wire on here now I hear things, it must be amplifying!" When in reality it's just changing the pin configuration around so Signal can actually flow where it needs to go.This is required because the microphone preamp ( Saramonic Smartrig II XLR ) is meant for taking XLR microphones into iPhones and iPads and like. It's not a bad interface but I might consider it the weakest thing in the system. But if you play your gain structure right it probably won't be that bad. Interesting I have only used the rode go 1's and well they do have delay there is not that much as I am using them in a live setting for a corporate speaker. I have used it once while also using a wired lav and there is a difference that way it's a few milliseconds so maybe monitoring through the camera or the receiver and hearing the scratch Mic and the transmitter out of sync? Don't pull it down, do a follow up and be like well this is what I've learned so far here is version two! And I would say put some thing like updated video in the description but nobody reads those things but me so pinned comment? I'm two years and nine hours late. Yeah the 3.5 Jack uses plug-in power in the 2 to 5v range. Nothing like Phantom power 48V. Although that Smartrig converter will be out putting somewhere between mic and line signal level. I'm guessing it didn't work at first and then throwing that adapter on there suddenly made it work? This is most likely because the output of the Smartrig is designed for smart phones etc. which outputs the microphone signal on the very bottom ring the S of a TRRS connector for smart phones etc. I can't remember if the rode supports either configuration but generally I use mine with microphones that put the Signal on the tip T. Hope that might explain why.
Yes, you could do that too. But you wouldn't be wireless transmitting, just using a recorder, which also works if you want to sync in post. This just avoid the syncing in post.
Yeah not enough information here are you putting the recorder at the boom well then yes then you could go out that to the transmitter. Although with the transmitter already recording depending on regional patent disputes.... Or you could come out of the receiver into a recorder.
Exellent video, thank you. Is there a loss in audio quality when you do it this way and record wirelessly into your camera? If I were to use a shotgun mic with phantom power (internal battery), attach an XLR to 3.5mm jack adapter and connect this to the Wireless Go transmitter and record audio into my camera, will there be a significant loss in audio quality compared to recording on an external recorder (like a zoom recorder)? Any help would be appreciated..
Not that I noticed when I did this. Of course, I was also making a backup recording just in case with the RWG II. If you are going to do this for a professional gig, I would suggest getting something like the Deity HD-TX and a Deity BP-TRX and use that combination instead. They are very inexpensive and will also do the same thing with less setup. And as always, feel free to do your own testing with this build. Hope that helps.
Depending on the microphone there might be a level mismatch going XLR to 3.5 but it might also work. I was using a neewer shotgun straight into a DSLR camera with a passive cable and having great results. Although if you don't have the microphone granted this was a year ago I'd go with some thing that is USB rechargeable and has 3.5 MM out already like the V-Mic D4. That way you simplify your connections.
If I'm getting the right microphone that looks like a large diaphragm condenser so no internal battery, you need something that would give it 48v phantom power like the adapter mentioned in the video. Some of these cheaper Mic's can accept lower voltages like plug-in power 2-5v but usually if it does work gives very poor results.

Welcome.
Hi there...thank you for sharing... Could I possibly hook the mic up to a zoom recorder?
Yes, you could do that too. But you wouldn't be wireless transmitting, just using a recorder, which also works if you want to sync in post. This just avoid the syncing in post.
Yeah not enough information here are you putting the recorder at the boom well then yes then you could go out that to the transmitter. Although with the transmitter already recording depending on regional patent disputes....

great job, thank you

@@Ranger7Studios Thank you for taking the time to respond, I do appreciate it!

Hi. Do you think we can connect the new Rode Wireless Pro to the NT1 5th Generation?
As long as the mic has a battery or you can provide phantom power, I don't see why not.
If I'm getting the right microphone that looks like a large diaphragm condenser so no internal battery, you need something that would give it 48v phantom power like the adapter mentioned in the video.

Def subscribed. Thanks!
