RODE VideoMic Go II

RODE Videomic Go II

RODE is excited to introduce another game-changing addition to its legendary range of on-camera microphones. Introducing the VideoMic GO II, an ultra-lightweight and compact shotgun microphone that’s packed with innovative features for today’s content creators. Like the original VideoMic GO, one of RØDE’s best-selling on-camera microphones, the VideoMic GO II offers superb sound quality while being very simple to use, but it also has a few new tricks up its sleeve that make it extremely powerful and versatile.

Professional audio with ease

The VideoMic GO II makes capturing professional-quality audio simple. It features the same revolutionary acoustic design as the VideoMic NTG and NTG5 professional shotgun microphones, which utilises RODE’s innovative annular line tube technology to deliver unmatched transparency and rich, full-bodied sound that enhances the audio quality of any device it is connected to. The VideoMic GO II runs off plug-in or USB power, meaning no batteries are required to operate, and with no complicated switches or controls, it is incredibly simple to use, allowing creators to just pick it up, plug it in and go.

One mic for every device

Like all RODE VideoMics, the VideoMic GO II features a 3.5mm TRS output and is an excellent solution for filmmakers and content creators in need of a compact, easy-to-use microphone for capturing high-quality audio with a camera. It also features a USB-C output for plugging directly into smartphones, tablets and computers – a highly innovative feature also found on the VideoMic NTG.

This ground-breaking patent-pending technology unlocks huge creative potential, making the VideoMic GO II suitable for everything from creating content for TikTok on a smartphone to recording a podcast on a computer. When used in USB mode, the 3.5mm port functions as a headphone output for zero-latency audio monitoring and playback, essentially turning the VideoMic GO II into a fully-featured USB mic.

Small but mighty

Weighing a mere 89 grams and measuring just 150mm in length, the VideoMic GO II is ultra-lightweight and compact. It is perfect for use with compact cameras, smartphone recording rigs or as a desktop USB microphone, and is small enough to be taken anywhere – ideal for creators on the move. Despite its diminutive size, the VideoMic GO II packs a punch, with a professional-grade shockmount and high-quality windshield included rugged all-metal body, and renowned RØDE build quality ensuring it can take on the rigours of creating day in, day out.

Supercharged with USB power

The ability to connect the VideoMic GO II to a smartphone, tablet or computer via USB not only opens up a world of creative possibilities for users but also unlocks access to supercharged features via the RODE app suite: RODE Connect, RODE Central and RODE Reporter.

RODE Central is a handy desktop and mobile companion app that gives users access to advanced features, including a high-pass filter, high-frequency boost, pad, and complete control over the input level and headphone output level.

The VideoMic GO II is fully compatible with RODE Connect, RODE’s free podcasting and streaming software. This allows up to four VideoMic GO IIs (and other compatible RODE microphones) to be connected to a computer, with complete control over the microphone’s input level, access to the high-pass filter, high-frequency boost and pad, plus studio-grade audio processing, including the legendary APHEX Aural Exciter and Big Bottom effects, and a compressor and noise gate.

For creators looking for a simple solution for recording broadcast-quality audio on a mobile device, the VideoMic GO II can also be used with the RØDE Reporter app for iOS and Android devices.

Compatibility with RODE Central, RODE Connect and RODE Reporter via its unique USB audio output transforms the VideoMic GO II into an incredibly powerful and versatile microphone unlike anything else in its class, perfect for everyone from mobile content creators to podcasters and live streamers.

The VideoMic GO II is so much more than just an on-camera microphone. Like the VideoMic NTG before it, it is a supremely versatile audio tool with unlimited creative potential.
