Hey y’all! I had to make this video because I finally figured out how to fix an issue with my Rode Wireless Go II microphones that was driving me absolutely insane. If you’re experiencing a similar problem where you don’t see any movement with the green arrows and the battery indicators are empty, it’s likely because your microphones aren’t paired. Here’s how to manually pair them.
The Issue
If you’re not seeing any movement with the green arrows and the battery indicators for channels 1 and 2 are empty, it’s because the microphones aren’t paired. The usual method of holding the on button to pair them didn’t work for me, so I had to find an alternative solution.
Step-by-Step Solution
- Select the Channel:
- Press the “1/2” button on your receiver until you select the channel you want to pair. You should see a gray box around the selected channel.
- Enter Pairing Mode:
- Hold down the infinity button (the pairing button) on the receiver. The Wi-Fi icon will start flashing, indicating it’s in pairing mode.
- Pair the Microphone:
- Once the Wi-Fi icon is flashing, press the pairing button on the transmitter one time. This should successfully pair the devices.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why aren’t my Rode Wireless Go II microphones pairing automatically?
Automatic pairing can sometimes fail due to firmware discrepancies or low battery. Following the manual pairing process ensures a successful connection.
How do I check the firmware version of my Rode Wireless Go II?
Download the Rode Central app, connect your devices to your computer using a USB-C cable, and the app will display the firmware versions of your devices.
What should I do if the manual pairing process doesn’t work?
Ensure both devices are fully charged and on the same firmware. If the issue persists, try restarting the devices and repeat the pairing process. If problems continue, contact Rode support for further assistance.
