Max Yuryev I appreciate your review! I am not sure why people who have channels with no content feel the need to say you were too positive given all the negatives. You stated your case very logically (as you always do) - same underlying technology, lower price, game-set-match. We do professional production for major sports and news organizations - you did not suggest that as a market for either of these systems. I would also suggest that a G3 system is also a “prosumer” piece of gear. I simply cannot understand why an audio engineer would put a high quality shotgun mic on a boom, run a wire down the pole and then degrade the signal by using a wireless transmitter???!

Very cool, no doubt. I have transitioned to the Tascam DR-10L, which is NOT wireless. I have had so many issues with RF interference that I have moved away from wireless. I prefer the personal recorders like the DR-10L. It is tiny and can record up to 10 hours. I use one with each of the principle 'actors' so effectively they are separate channels. Then I sync up in post. Yes, it is a little more to fuss with in post, but there is no risk of RF interference. Plus I automatically have separate channels for which I can adjust the levels in post. I also don't give a hoot about distance. I can shoot a person from a 100 yards away with a good lens and the audio will be perfect.

We have two and have used them a ton but they have failed me at least 5-6 times. A few times batteries died really early and the file was corrupted and a few times it just said invalid SD card when i took it off the groom of subject and audio was lost.. I still use them but I feel nervous each time, so I love being able to monitor while I’m recording. Of course with a wedding if something went wrong I couldn’t stop the ceremony or speeches to fix it but for interviews and other things where you have some control I could. On the topic of RF interference, I’ve only had 1 time I briefly heard RF interference with my RodeLink out of 100’s of shoots in many scenarios. What wireless kits did you use in the past? This thing actually sends two simultaneous signals out and if it senses any interference it uses the other frequency. You should not get any.

The most important question (besides audio quality) was not answered. How well do they perform outdoors with potential interference? I don't really care as much about the size if it's sacrificing the potential for more interference from other wireless devices. Also, if I'm outdoors and dealing with wind or with noisy locations, I want to be sure that the mic will just pick up the person the mic is strapped to. Neither of these questions were answered.

Hey Max thanks for another very informative video. The Sennheiser is really a no fuss approach to a lav system. You plug it, set the level on cam and are good to go. The sound of the ME2 II is pro quality (equivalent to 500$ cine lavs). The range and trasmission of the Sennheiser is amazing (walls, distance, people turning and moving and running). Realy for the price you get a Sennheiser (= pro audio reliable gear). The RØDE Wireless GO is a nice little prosumer device and as such it sound clean but tiny and nowhere near pro level lav. The transmission is apparently very bad and basically if you have a talent moving on set or even turning away from you it cuts and I don't even want to imagine it behind walls or at distance. It is basically a vlogging equipement and as such it is pretty fine. That is if you are 5 feet max and facing ur cam.

Sennheiser has better quality and depth, more mid-low Hz response - also works better outdoors , try a test comparing them outside near a road :) Rode in-built mics have thinner audio - unless u get a better lav mic to plug into the GO.

The Sennheiser does have an ever so SLIGHT edge over the Rode when it comes to audio quality and clarity. But at the end of the day, these are both budget options and the differences in audio will NOT be noticed by the end viewer or client. For one, they have nothing to compare it to as all of the audio will be recorded with just one of either system. And two, it's plenty good on both of them! The biggest thing when capturing vocal audio is getting the microphone as close to the source as possible. By nature, this is what lav-style microphones do. Add in the wireless functionality, and you have convenience and ease-of-use. The Rode wireless Go is a NO-BRAINER for any independent filmmaker IMO. Honestly, even if you're on the higher end of productions and have more expensive gear, I would say pick one of these up anyway, as they are so cheap relative to modern camera gear. I pre-ordered mine a week ago, and it actually ARRIVED yesterday, much quicker than I anticipated. They're so small, the RX has a display on it, has gain adjustability and the TX has a built-in mic for emergencies to boot. Rode knocked it out of the park with this one. Sennheiser still has my love though of course, as eventually, I'll upgrade to their G4 system. But even then, the Wireless GO's will still be in my bag for if they're needed.

Rode makes great product all around and specialize mainly in microphones. They also have the luxury of keeping the price of their microphones down because their fabrication process is done in-house. Everything down to the capsule is made in their factory. Otherwise, the price would be almost twice the cost. Typically, budget microphones sound aggressive in the low end and distorted in the highs in which is what I hear with the Sennheisers. The Rode sounds very clear and neutral and their is likely a high-pass integrated into the circuit. Two of my go-to microphones in my music studio are Rodes

Out of those three, the Rode Go sounds the best. I am super surprised. It is fairly close to the shotgun mic you are using. What you should try as well, is an outdoor test to see which performs better, because you can always put a windshield on the lav mics but not the rode cube.

Excellent presentation! Both mics sound great, but the Sennheiser is far in a more broadcast quality level.

The Rode does its one thing conveniently. The Sennheiser is a more versatile overall system. I would prefer a system that does both lav and XLR with 48v phantom power to do mics on a boom, but neither really does that (if I'm remembering the details correctly.) I'm leaning towards the Rode system, knowing it's a "one trick pony."

Yea the XSW system has a lot of options including 1/4 and XLR but there is no phantom power. Both of my shotguns need 48V so I can’t use them.

Hi Max! Thanks a lot for this great Video. I have a last question about lantency. What do you say? Wich system has less latency. Thanks!

They are both very very low and basically identical. Around 4-5 MS just like the RØDELink. The sennnhieser AVX is around 15.

Just received my Wireless Go yesterday - it's amazing! The perfect balance of sound quality, size, and convenience. Agree with you Max - this kit is going to be a great seller.

That rode mic is incredible.... I can't wait to try one out. I think they are going to make vloggong way way easier. The mic moves with you rather then limiting you to a specific area like a traditional camera mounted mic

I got the Sennheiser kit but the version that has the XLR receiver for my GH5 XLR adapter. The Sennheiser lav mic sounds VERY good! The built-in mic on the RODE is what gives it good value but it would never work in a professional corp setting and you would have to have an added lav mic. Thats really what you pay for in the more expensive Sennheiser kit. I think both of these kits are what was needed in the market. I do like the built quality lf the Sennheiser I have to say. Also I work with more then mirrorless or DSLRs, I use ENG cameras as well so the combination of XLR and the (my opinion) better lav mic works for me.

Great that it can go on the a7 III hot shoe while on a gimbal. Sounds fine without lav mic.

The sennheiser is better in one important regard, out side you don’t have to be line of sight to maintain audio, outside the Rode HAS TO be line of site to the transmitter or you will get cut outs. The Sennheiser does not have this issue

I'd be interested to see a simple way of using two of the Rode Go mics into a single camera.

Stack them on top or use a cold shoe splitter and You can use this cable to have two mono Wireless Go kits go into one camera. geni.us/HXx4b6a You can also buy this and it will give you the extra cold shoe to mount the second receiver and you'll also be able to adjust the levels if one person speaks louder than the other. geni.us/KGnxDg . When editing you'll need to split the left and right channels and set each to mono and you'll be set!

I just ordered the Rode and am going to try it out on my video camcorder with live band music. I am going to put it next to the band speaker. I love the sound of it on this video test better then the other one he tested.

Great comparison Max. 👊 I think the Rode is better sounding even without the Lav. Not locking input is not problem, a little gaff tape and you are done😁

Good review but from the DJ's point of view I have to still go with Sennheiser. I can use it as a backup and plug it right into a wired mic and make it wireless. It has more practical functionality that serves me better. If I were strictly a video guy it would be the Rode Go.

I film sports so for example volleyball and basketball. I need a mic that I can mic those athletes up that has an internal mic that sounds good but won’t cut out when there are other athletes moving in front of them or if they turn their back to me with the receiver

Hey Max, what do you think of the Deity wireless system and their new Lav Pro? Curious what you think of them. Cheers!
