Rode Interview GO for Wireless GO Mic System

Transform Your Wireless GO into a Handheld Microphone

The Rode Interview GO is a lightweight, ergonomic handheld adapter designed to transform any Rode Series IV wireless transmitter, such as the Wireless GO, Wireless GO II, Wireless ME, or Wireless PRO, into a professional handheld interview microphone. Ideal for journalists, vloggers, content creators, and broadcasters across Australia, this adapter enhances the versatility of Rode’s wireless systems for on-camera reporting, field interviews, or casual podcasting. Note: The Interview GO does not include a wireless transmitter and requires a compatible Rode Series IV transmitter for operation.

Professional Performance and Audio Quality

The Interview GO adapter securely holds a Rode Series IV wireless transmitter (e.g., Wireless GO or Wireless GO II) via a sturdy cold shoe clip mount, providing the look and functionality of a traditional handheld microphone. When paired with a Rode wireless transmitter, it delivers crystal-clear audio through Series IV 2.4GHz digital transmission with 128-bit encryption, offering a range of up to 200 meters (line of sight) and stable operation in dense RF environments. The included high-density foam windshield reduces plosives and wind noise, ensuring clean audio during outdoor recordings, such as street interviews or on-location shoots. Users praise its ability to maintain the transmitter’s omnidirectional pickup pattern (or external lavalier mic input) for high-quality vocal capture, though some note a slight audio muffling in high-wind conditions compared to dedicated shotgun mics like the Rode VideoMic Pro.

Compact and Durable Design

Crafted with a lightweight (84 g) and ergonomic plastic body, the Interview GO measures 237 mm in height and 42.9 mm in width, offering a comfortable grip for extended use. The high-density windshield (8 g, 73.3 mm x 73.3 mm x 81.6 mm) fits snugly over the transmitter to protect the capsule and minimize environmental noise. The adapter’s design is compatible with other wireless lavalier transmitters (e.g., DJI Mic, Boya, Saramonic), but it’s optimized for Rode Series IV systems. No additional power is required, as the transmitter powers the system. Users appreciate the sleek, professional aesthetic but note the adapter’s plastic construction feels slightly pricey for its simplicity (~$30–$40 USD). Some suggest using a black marker to cover the white “Rode” logo on the windshield for a more discreet look during video shoots. The adapter is backed by Rode’s quality assurance, though warranty details may vary by retailer.
