hey guys EBPMAN here and today we're taking a look at a brand new product
that was just released it's a wireless microphone system and it's actually the
smallest system in the world this is the wireless go from Road let's check it out
now just a few days ago at NAB 2019 Road announced the wireless go system it is
one of the smallest if not the smallest wireless system on the planet and in
this video we're gonna go over what's included in the box why you'd want to
consider it we're also gonna do some sound quality tests and you'll be able
to judge if you'd like this for your youtube channel like this or even if you
are into taking videos wedding videos or you know just wanting to improve the
video of your iPhone or your smartphone because it has so many different uses so
make sure you stay tuned and watch the entire video let's get right to it make
sure you hit the subscribe button and tap the little bell icon to get notified
when new videos become available so let's take a look at some of the
features on the box and why you may want to consider this we'll take a look at
the specs so first of all this is ultra compact it's really small I haven't seen
anything as small as this when it comes to mic systems it has two two units as
you're gonna see here but which transmitter and a receiver and the neat
thing about this is that the transmitter itself also serves as a mic as you can
see here so has a built-in microphone it also operates in a 2.4 gigahertz
frequency which is going to give you a lot of flexibility and worryfree
connectivity wherever you are now both of these units are charged by an
internal battery that's gonna last around 7 hours but you can plug them
into a battery backup solution a small battery pack and use them continuously
without stopping they're very small they weigh around 31 grams which is really
really tiny and they have multiple decibel levels that you couldn't set you
can have a low medium and high and the low is going to give you 0 the medium is
gonna be minus 6 and then the high is gonna be minus 12 now one of the things
that I really like about this is the range you're gonna be able to have up to
a 229 foot range between where your receiver is and then the actual
transmitter is and now this is possible because the units actually have two
antennas each and they're constantly doing band hopping finding the best
connection to you the best audio quality so let's take
a look and see what's in the box and why you'll want to consider these alright so
unboxing the product what we'll find is you have a QuickStart illustration right
showing you your transmitter and your receiver and a couple things that you'll
notice here is that it does have a built in mic but you can also connect a
physical lab so if you want to have a cable lab directly to this this will
serve as a you know a belt pack for this receiver now check out how small this is
look how tiny it is I'll go ahead and half this out of the box and we can see
how tiny these guys are so they have these little clips and the neat thing is
that these clips also serve as like a shoe mount so like you'll be connecting
this obviously to your to your shirt to belt if that's what you want to do but
the receiver can actually be connected to the shoe mount of your camera and
I'll show you that in a second so in addition to the two pieces that we see
here you can see how tiny that is we also then have USBC cable it looks like
we have two USBC cables to USBC cables then we have these dead cats that you
can use because one of these let's see which one is it this one right here so
this one you can see how you have the mic built in and you'll notice that they
have these little clips right here so you're gonna be able to take this and
then push it in place and now you have a mic so this can actually be used in an
interview mode so you can actually use this to speak to two people or you could
clip this if you're in an outdoor area I'm going to test it even under shirt
and see how much will come up we'll test that but you'll be able to clip this and
then be able to use this as your mic you probably flip it the other way so the
clip is on the outside and then that looks a little bit better but imagine a
shirt you can keep it underneath your shirt and you'll be able to have it
there so that's pretty nice that it includes a little dead cat a matter of
fact it actually includes two of them so you have two of them that you can work
with it does have a cable so this is gonna be your standard cable that you're
using on your DSLR and you could get an adapter and connect this to an iPhone or
connect it to any Android phone okay we have a little guide here things that you
want to toss and not eat see and then we have this little pouch so check out how
compact this is so you're able to carry both of them in this little pouch
this is gonna be super easy I can't wait for CES 2019 or any of the other shows
actually the CES 2020 where I'll be able to take this with me and then any other
shows that we're going to be covering so very tiny solution again all everything
that you need in the box so let's take a look at these units a little bit closer
and then we'll do an audio test so the next thing I wanted to do is show you
how you can connect this to the your DSLR so notice this little part right
here how it clips up and here's in the shoe and I'm gonna connect this in just
like by sliding it like this so this is my Sony a 6-4 hundred and you'll notice
how it's there it's in place all I would have to just connect this cable to the
actual camera and I'm set to go you'll notice already that it's picking up my
voice from this unit right here because it has that built-in mic if I wanted to
use a lab you'll notice on here that it does have a input here that I could use
to connect a mic and then also you see the charging is on this side and it has
this little neat clip and again I can either put it on my shirt I could put it
on my belt if I had a wired lab that's going straight to it but gives you a lot
of flexibility so let's take a look at these units a little bit closer so you
can see what you're gonna get all right so let's take a closer look at both of
these units here you have your power button and as we flip this over let me
flip this this way you have your USBC on each and then here you have your your
cable out that will connect to your camera I mean again you could use a
converter to connect this to your smartphone too and then on this side
over here you have your mic that you can plug in your lapel mic or you have the
built-in mic as I flip this around here you actually see connection and then you
have your decibel meter so you can change it from again that low medium and
high now and that's pretty much that's all to it really simple so let's switch
audio sources and see how this sounds now let's go ahead and test the audio
quality so I'm currently recording through a boom mic that's coming
overhead and I have the road right here in my hand so let's go ahead and switch
all right so now all the audio that you hear is actually coming through the road
what do you think about the audio quality what I would do is I'll move the
mic around so I'm going to move it away from my face testing one two three this
is the road bar let's go this is the road Wireless go how does it sound
now the mic is currently off-camera but I'm going to bring it a little bit
closer this is the wire let's go and we're testing one two three is getting
closer now the next thing I'm going to do is I'm going to put the dead cat so
the recording is still coming from the wire let's go
and what I'm going to do is I'm going to put it underneath my shirt and I'm just
gonna put it right here in the bottom just to hide it a little bit to see how
much is being picked up so if you want to keep it hidden so now you cannot see
the mic and I'm hiding it underneath my shirt as you would if you were doing
something in a different area where you just didn't want to show the mic so
we're gonna do a test this is the wireless go mic and we are recording
using the wireless go underneath my shirt
what's the audio quality like well guys let me know in the comment area below so
