RØDE has announced a major free firmware update that dramatically simplifies mobile audio workflows for creators. This is a meaningful shift for mobile-first creators, filmmakers and journalists who want cleaner rigs without sacrificing professional-grade audio.

RØDE is extending its powerful Direct Connect Bluetooth capability to the Wireless GO (Gen 3) and Wireless PRO, enabling transmitters to pair directly with iPhones via the RØDE Capture app – no physical receiver required.

For creators, that means no cables, no receiver clipped to the phone, faster mobile setups and broadcast-quality wireless audio direct to iOS

Direct Connect was first introduced with Wireless Micro and saw immediate adoption among mobile creators. Now, RØDE is bringing that same cable-free workflow to its two most powerful compact wireless systems at no additional cost to users.

Key Features:

  • Direct Bluetooth pairing to iPhone via RØDE Capture
  • Merged or split recording modes in-app
  • On-board 32-bit float recording (Wireless GO Gen 3 & PRO)
  • Timecode sync + 260m range (Wireless PRO)
  • Recently reduced pricing:

– Wireless GO (Gen 3): US$199 (33% drop)

– Wireless PRO: US$299 (25% drop)

RØDE has created a website press release which explains the correct steps to install and use the new firmware. You can find it here.
