Finding a reliable microphone is one of the key components of filming online workouts. At the same time, microphones can be a large investment for a fitness professional, which we are not used to. A solid microphone can put your mind at ease with the equipment you’re using and help you produce high-quality content that makes your members see the value of your service. In this review, Tyler Valencia reviews the Rode Wireless Go and shares his insight into why this microphone should be your go-to when creating content.
Rode is a reliable company that has been around since 1967 and makes more than lavalier microphones. A common question is, what about the knockoff versions that look like the Rode Wireless Go? The best response is that there is no way of knowing how long they will last. The cost might seem more palatable compared to the Rode Wireless Go, but you may have to invest in another lavalier-style microphone. Investing in a Rode Wireless Go ensures you get a solid microphone from the start and that the time you spend recording goes towards quality-sounding content.
Tyler starts this review by discussing Rode and why he ultimately invested in a Rode Wireless Go. After sharing some of the product’s specifications, Tyler goes through a setup for using the Rode Wireless Go and how to connect it to an audio interface. Using an audio interface is one way to create online workouts with the music and microphone line on the same output.
