Rode Wireless GO (Gen 3) Cobalt Wireless Microphone System, 32-bit Float

Rode Wireless GO (Gen 3) Cobalt: Deep, Bold Colour for a Standout Kit

The Rode Wireless GO (Gen 3) is a dual-channel compact wireless microphone system with 32-bit float recording, with up to 853 ft (260 m) of operating range. Cobalt gives the world's most popular compact wireless system a rich, saturated blue that catches the eye without shouting. Underneath the finish is a full dual-channel rig: two clip-on transmitters that record a 32-bit float backup as they transmit, a single receiver, and intelligent levelling that keeps every voice even. It is the kind of gear you are quietly proud to pull out of the bag.

Series IV 2.4 GHz Transmission and 853 ft of Reliable Range

At the heart of the system is Rode's Series IV 2.4 GHz digital transmission with a proprietary near-zero-latency codec and 128-bit encryption, which together keep the signal locked in and private out to 853 ft (260 m) line of sight. Two compact clip-on transmitters send to a single receiver, so you can mic two people at once — a host and a guest, an interviewer and a subject — without a second system. The dual-channel design puts each voice on its own channel, ready to balance or split in the edit.

32-Bit Float Backup That Makes Clipping a Thing of the Past

Each transmitter doubles as a recorder, capturing a 32-bit float backup to 32 GB of on-board memory — up to 40 hours per transmitter. Thirty-two-bit float carries such an enormous dynamic range that a take which sounded clipped or far too quiet through the camera can be pulled back to a usable level afterward, with the detail intact. It is the safety net that turns a ruined interview into a saved one, running silently every time you hit record.

GainAssist, Safety Channel and Wireless PRO Capsules

Intelligent GainAssist rides your levels automatically so a voice that swings from a whisper to a laugh stays even, while a safety channel records a second, lower-level version as insurance against sudden peaks. The built-in microphones use the same upgraded capsules and preamps found in the Wireless PRO, capturing a cleaner, more natural voice with less risk of overload at the capsule. A bright LCD and menu-free controls let you set everything in seconds.

Connect to Any Camera, Phone or Computer — With or Without the Receiver

Both a 3.5mm analog output and a USB-C digital output live on the receiver, so the system plugs straight into a mirrorless or DSLR camera, a smartphone, or a computer where it works as a USB microphone. Each transmitter also carries a 3.5mm locking input with plug-in power detect for adding discreet lavaliers. And with Direct Connect, you can pair a transmitter directly to an iOS phone over Bluetooth through the Rode Capture app — no receiver needed — for the ultimate grab-and-go rig.

For the Shooter Who Treats Kit as Part of the Craft

Cobalt is for the filmmaker, content creator, and event shooter who wants their tools to feel considered. Newcomers lean on GainAssist and no-menu setup to nail clean audio from day one; seasoned users exploit the 32-bit float safety net, the safety channel, and Direct Connect to a phone for lean travel days. When your camera bag is an extension of how you work, a deep cobalt finish fits right in.
