The RØDE Wireless GO (3rd Gen) has three operating modes: Merge, Split and Safety modes. These modes determine how the audio signals from the two transmitters (TX1 and TX2) are handled by the receiver. Here's a breakdown of the Split and Merge modes:
Merge Mode
In Merge Mode, the transmitter(s) send their audio signals to the receiver simultaneously. The audio signals from both transmitters are combined and mixed down to a single audio output.
This mode is useful when you want to capture audio from two separate sources, such as two microphones or two people speaking simultaneously. It allows you to have a single audio feed for recording or transmitting without the need for separate audio tracks or channels.
Split Mode
In Split Mode, each transmitter is assigned to a separate audio output channel. The audio from TX1 is sent to one audio output, while the audio from TX2 is sent to another audio output.
This mode is helpful when you want to have individual control over the audio from each transmitter. It allows you to record or transmit each audio source separately, which can be advantageous for post-production editing or when you need to process the audio independently.
To switch between Merge Mode and Split Mode on the Wireless GO (3rd Gen), follow these steps:
- Press and hold the 'triangle' and 'CH' buttons on the receiver until the audio mode appears.
- Then, press the 'triangle' button to select your desired mode.
- Press the 'CH' button to Set and confirm your choice.
