When exporting onboard recordings from compatible RØDE wireless products such as the Wireless GO II, Wireless GO (3rd Gen), Interview PRO and Wireless PRO using RØDE Central, you can choose several export options to suit your workflow. Selecting the appropriate format, bit depth and sample rate helps ensure the exported files are optimised for editing, sharing or archiving.
Choose an Export Format
RØDE Central allows you to export recordings as either WAV or MP3. The best choice depends on how you plan to use your recordings.
- WAV – An uncompressed, lossless audio format that preserves the highest possible audio quality. Recommended for professional recording, editing and archiving.
- MP3 – A compressed audio format that produces much smaller file sizes. Ideal for sharing recordings, uploading online or general playback where smaller files are preferred.
Select the Bit Depth
Bit depth determines the dynamic range of your exported recording. Higher bit depths provide more flexibility during audio editing but also result in larger file sizes.
- 24-bit PCM – Recommended for most recordings, offering excellent audio quality with smaller file sizes.
- 32-bit Float – Provides additional headroom for professional post-production workflows and maximum flexibility when adjusting recording levels.
Choose the Sample Rate
The sample rate determines how many times per second the audio is captured during playback or export.
- 48 kHz is recommended for most audio and video productions, providing an excellent balance between audio quality and file size.
