Rode Wireless Pro Review + Location Recording Tests

Recording on location used to be such a huge pain in my ass.

I’d have this big carry case with my trust Zoom H5, Rode lapel microphones and clips, wind socks, XLR adapters for the lapels so that they’d connect to the Zoom and then a huge amount of leads to make sure all my bases were covered.

And then a few brands started bringing out wireless microphone options that could connect to your phone.

Some of them were okay, but most of them weren’t good enough for me to switch from my bulky setup. I was capturing much better sound doing it my way.

As the technology improved, so too did the wireless microphone options that were brought to the market.

Again, I was still dubious, but I decided to bite the bullet and put the Rode Wireless Pro to the test. I’d looked at some reviews on YouTube, reviewed the sound quality and inclusions and decided it may be a viable option for myself and our clients.

For the tests that I conducted, I was focusing on how the Rode Wireless Pro system handled a diverse array of recording environments. I tested in a quiet hotel room, at the beach, on a train, in the park and using the included lapel (wired) setup vs the completely wireless option.

I’ve been using the system now for almost three months, and I’m ready to give you my recommendations.
