"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" ----It didn't work for me...what should I try now?

thank you ! it worked !

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.

@@mikehunt576 Hi, does that mean you can connect to an M1 or M2 laptop using just the supplied cable?

@@mattylamb658 I have both, try and normal, the trs is enough but no headphones at this point, I think its crazy to pay $40 on a adapter

is it working well?

How do you actually do this? I don't have a tripod yet, but it doesn't look like they have clip on most of the ones I've seen. Is there a specific model? Thanks

@@kateleto5822 it's more of a DIY hack. find any small plate on tripod and slide the microphone. It's won't be very secure but should work if you are recording at one location.

I am having the same issue. Can anyone help?

You're very welcome!

Glad I could help!

Exactly! The video completely ignores this fact.

see that makes sense David because my laptop DID ask me when I plugged the Rode adapter in if I was inserting a mic- but it still didn't appear to record from the transmitter input sooo.... I came here looking to see what I needed to do differently.

Glad I could help!

the wireless go has a built in pro Lav mic. it's way better quality than any shotgun when used correctly.

Unfortunately it's because it's the wrong one! You need a USB to trrs adapter. The splitter didn't work for me either.

Good to hear!

@Joanna Higlett The laptop/zoom needs to see headphones attached or some kind of audio output. If you plug in a trrs to trs cable straight into the laptop zoom wont know/see any possible audio out. That's the reason you need a splitter/adaptor like in the video shown here.

Good question - I haven't tried this, but if you have 2x TX's connected to the 1x RX thats connected to your laptop, then theoretically, it should record both audio channels into your program. However, I would say that you'd probably need an app on your laptop that supports dual audio input from 2 microphones (I don't know any at the top of my head unfortunately). I hope that helps?

Thanks for your feedback!

Good luck and let me know if the splitter cable worked for you?

@@TrendingReviews the RØDE SC7 worked perfectly so I'll probably send all the various splitters back! Thanks though for taking the time to do this review. Still think Rode need to make it clear that you can't plug the receiver into a laptop!

Why did it not work? What kind of laptop do you use?

I have the same issue with a macbook air. I plug everything in a my laptop doesn't recognise it.

It works great outdoors too! You should be fine :)

You're welcome! If the mic is actually connected successfully to your laptop, then you should be able to switch the mic to the Rode Go in the Zoom settings. Does it appear there?

Hi! No i dont think you need a different cable. As long as the laptop recognises an external mic connected, then that should work with audacity. This cable should be enough

@@TrendingReviews Thank you very much!

Thanks - I haven't tried it with the new M1 iMac's as I don't own one unfortunately. If you have the Wireless Go, you could always buy the splitter cable to try it, and send back for refund if it doesn't?

@@TrendingReviews Exactly what I did and can confirm it WORKS just great, thanks again.

@@NickDunning-audition-magician Glad it worked out for you!!

Thank you! Yes, the reason you might not be able to hear other people is because you have the splitter cable inserted into the headphone jack, so the laptop thinks an external set of headphones is connected and is trying to play through that cable. So 2 options: 1. Stick some headphones into the headphone jack of the splitter cable and listen through there 2. Try to change in the laptop's Sound settings, for Output sound to be through Internal Speakers. Hope this helps!

Very similar question, but can I use a wiress headphone or does it need to be plugged in?

Punita Kumar I would say the same applies select the Bluetooth as the output mode for the audio

I haven't tried that but thats good to know! It's all dependent on which laptop you have I guess - but to be safe rather than sorry, its always worth getting the splitter just in case.

YOU are a GENIUS! I tried it and it works FABULOUSLY!

Taste of Italy welcome

If you're jumping around, I would suggest you clip the mic to your belt or trousers, and put a wired lavalier mic up near to your check collar line, as it will be much lighter for you to move around.

Glad it was helpful!

Which laptop do you have?

@@TrendingReviews Lenovo e580. I have found a female mic jack so I have connected it to my laptop jack port. Then the SC7 to it and the wireless go receiver. I can record yes but for whatever reason it doesn’t recognise it as an external mic it shows as the same built in mic of my laptop. I think the best way will be usb mic adapter, isn’t it?

Links are in the description for all the products, and they work great!

Yes - the splitter is not specifically for allowing a laptop to connect to your mic, but its to distribute the headphone input/output to a separate microphone input.

Glad it helped!

Thanks for the comment! In your Settings > Sound > Output, do you not see Macbook Speakers as an option for output? You could connect a bluetooth speaker as well and select that from the sound output source list.

Use the USB C Cable direct to an USB available port and the rode wireless go will work properly

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?
