“In 2019, the Wireless GO was the first truly wireless microphone to enter the market,” says RØDE CEO Damien Wilson. “RØDE was the first company to create a compact and easy to use workflow that forever changed the way creators capture audio for their content. The Wireless GO II took this even further, adding incredible new features and setting a new standard for compact wireless audio.

“Today, we take this iconic microphone a step further once again with the Wireless PRO. We’ve left no stone unturned when it comes to features in this new system, packing incredibly powerful and useful features like 32-bit float on-board recording and advanced timecode capability into the same compact, easy-to-use form factor that thousands of creators around the world use every day.”

Ultra-compact Professional Wireless

Despite its vast feature set, the Wireless PRO features the same pocket-sized form factor as the rest of our compact wireless range, with a sleek new black-on-black aesthetic for extra discretion. It comes in a dual-channel set with two transmitters and a receiver and utilises our state-of-the-art Series IV 2.4GHz digital transmission and proprietary near-zero latency codec with 128-bit encryption to deliver crystal-clear, incredibly stable audio at distances up to 260m (850 ft) line of sight.

Integrated clips and broadcast-quality in-built omnidirectional microphones on the transmitters make getting set up a breeze, and it is universally compatible with cameras, smartphones and tablets, computers, and other audio devices via its analog 3.5mm TRS and digital USB-C outputs.

Perfect Audio In Any Scenario

The Wireless PRO offers an array of powerful features to ensure that you can capture flawless audio every single time. 32-bit float on-board recording capabilities allow you to record directly to the transmitters with no chance of the audio clipping.

This groundbreaking feature ensures that you will always have a clean backup of your session – even in extremely dynamic scenarios – and eliminates the need to set gain levels prior to recording, making the creative workflow more streamlined than ever before. 32GB of internal memory offers over 40 hours of on-board recording, with dedicated buttons on the transmitters making triggering recordings super easy.

If you want to record audio directly into your camera, the Wireless PRO provides a plethora of features for capturing pristine audio. This includes RØDE’s innovative GainAssist technology – first introduced with the Wireless ME – which utilises intelligent algorithms to automatically control audio levels on the fly, ensuring the output is smooth and balanced and minimising the risk of clipping.

It also features a flexible output control with a huge 30dB gain range available, allowing you to precisely tailor the mic’s output to your camera, as well as pre-configured camera presets for quick-and-easy setup. For added peace of mind, the Wireless PRO also offers a safety channel feature, which outputs a second channel of audio 10dB lower than the primary channel in case the signal is too hot and clips the camera input.

These features combined make recording pristine audio incredibly easy. No matter your preferred workflow, you can set your Wireless PRO up to deliver perfect audio in almost any environment or scenario, taking the guesswork out of recording and unlocking more creative freedom.

Record and Sync

To perfectly complement its 32-bit float on-board recording feature, the Wireless PRO offers advanced timecode sync capabilities, making synchronising audio to video in post-production extremely easy.

Eschewing the need for complex and expensive external timecode systems, the Wireless PRO features an internal timecode generator that is easy to use and seamlessly synchronises audio with any camera. This can be easily set up on a computer or smartphone via RØDE Central, with flexible configuration options to suit any recording setup.

More Features, More Flexibility

In addition to its powerful on-board recording and advanced timecode capabilities, the Wireless PRO offers an abundance of other professional features that make it uniquely flexible. Both transmitters feature locking lavalier connectors for complete security when using an external lavalier or other microphone with a locking connector.

Plug-in power detect on the receiver – which automatically powers the unit on and off in sync with a connected camera – extends battery life in the field. The 3.5mm output on the receiver also functions as a headphone output for audio monitoring (complete with flexible output level control) as well as an audio input for a headset or other TRRS “narrator” microphone, such as a lavalier.

Merged and split recording modes, marker dropping and customisable buttons are just a few other features that make the Wireless PRO the most powerful wireless microphone system available. The Wireless PRO can also be easily configured on a computer or on the go with a smartphone using the RØDE Central companion app, allowing you to set it up exactly as they need anywhere.

Complete Pro Accessory Kit

The Wireless PRO comes with a complete pro accessory kit, giving you everything you need to get recording right away.
