For any Mac users having issues: 1. Make sure you have the latest OS downloaded on your system. Initially I could not get it to work with High Sierra, but it works with Catalina. 2. As @Ngawang Yoga said, "you should first connect the splitter with external mic other than rode wireless and than remove the external mic and put back the wireless go. it works 100 percent. but you will need external mic or lav" THIS tip literally saved me! Thank you Ngawang! At first, the Rode still wasn't working with Catalina. After getting it to recognize another external mic and switching it over to the Rode, it worked perfectly!

this wont work unless your using a older MacBook, I have a 2021 m2 MacBook Pro, when I plug in my old rodeo wireless go kit I have to pick the correct cable and external mic shows up with out a splitter..I guess the splitter is cool if you need headphones but if your recording separate audio as a Vlogger who needs one track to be a bass or guitar while another to discuss it you can connect the rode to the audio interface or a splitter to use headphones.

I then did some more research and saw a video saying I need at TRS to TRRS microphone cable. So I've ordered one but then saw this video so have ordered the splitter adapter for the headphone socket too. I have an event in a couple of days and need this to work so hoping between these two cables it will. I'm really surprised there isn't more info available from Rode about it. I assumed I would be able to go in with USBC like i can with my Rode Video Mic but now I know the USBC is just for charging! This is all very confusing for a non-audio person - I just want it to work!! I'm using it for live streaming events via Zoom Webenairs

Try to change in the laptop's Sound settings, for Output sound to be through Internal Speakers. Hope this helps!

@TrendingReviews4 жыл бұрын
Hi, thanks for the comment. I haven't tried with the Sony Mic's unfortunately, but generally, there's 2 things to be aware of in this type of setup. 1. The type of Laptop you have, whether its a Macbook or a Windows based one, will differ on how it renders sound INPUT - some offer dedicated ports for it, some require USB adapters to transfer the signals, and others may work with a Splitter. 2. If you have just a headphone port only (Like Macbooks for example), a splitter is needed, but the type of splitter you get depends on whether your microphone uses a TRS or TRRS jack. Here is how you can tell the difference: storage.googleapis.com/support-forums-api/attachment/message-1443197-6481561549619238188.jpg - This also depends which input your laptop is, TRS or TRRS - and then you buy a splitter cable accordingly to match each end. Hope that makes sense?
