SCOPE
This document applies to the use of a RODE Wireless Go microphone system for the purpose of voice amplification or Zoom presentation microphone within Chaffey College classrooms and labs.
OVERVIEW
The following document describes the features, connections and operation of the RODE Wireless GO microphone system. The microphone system is being implemented to provide enhanced presentation audio for Zoom and to supplement sound reinforcement in classrooms. Because of design constraints, the microphone system cannot be used for both at the same time. Additional information can be found in the QuickStart guide included in the microphone kit.
FEATURES
- Transmitter (TX) operates as a clip-on microphone with no additional microphone required.
- Receiver (RX) contains a color display for system setup/monitoring and has a 3.5mm TRS output.
- Ultra-compact form-factor, transmitter and receiver weigh just over 1 ounce each.
- Built-in rechargeable lithium batteries that last up to 7 hours and recharge via USB-C.
- Up to 200 foot (line-of-sight), but optimized for short-range operation in congested RF environments.
- Easy to use – transmitter and receiver auto-pair in under three seconds on power up.
COMPONENTS
- Receiver (with power button on top and color display)
- Transmitter (with 2 LED indicators and microphone on top, and power button on bottom)
- (2) Black USB Charge Cables USB-A to USB-C
- Red TRS Audio Patch Cable
- Fur Windshields
- Storage Pouch
NOTES
- The microphone system may be supplied in white or black. Both operate identically.
- The microphone system is provided in matched pairs with the identical serial numbers. Do not attempt to operate unmatched serial numbered units together unless specifically assigned by ITS.
- Keep the microphone system dry and clean with a dry towel or cloth. Never use liquid cleaners or expose to moisture.
- Because of their small size, the microphone system components can be easily dropped and damaged. Always store the microphone system in the provided carry pouch when not in use.
