Microphone: Rode VideoMic Go II

This microphone can connect directly to your computer or to a mobile device with an adapter.

Recommendations 

• The Rode VideoMic II is highly directional. Be certain that the mic is directly pointing at you.

• If connecting the Rode VideoMic Go II to your computer via 3.5 mm TRS, we recommend also using headphones to limit echo.
  • To use wired headphones, you may need to use a TRRS splitter if your computer does not have a separate 3.5mm port for audio input.

Limitations

This mic is only compatible with the Riverside mobile app when using a device with a USB-C port:

• iPad or iPhone with a USB-C port
  Please note: Some external USB-C mics are not compatible with iOS 17 on the iPad.
  
  1. On the Studio's Lobby screen, connect the microphone to the iPad or iPhone via USB-C.
  2. Once you join the Studio, in the Wired connection pop-up:
     • Connect headphones to the microphone and tap No.
• Android phone with a USB-C port
  1. Connect the microphone to your device.
  2. Connect headphones to the microphone to hear the Studio.

Please note: Any mic settings that you adjust using Rode's apps and software like RØDE Connect, RØDE Central, or RØDE Reporter are not retained if you connect the microphone to a device via the 3.5mm output.
