RØDE Microphones released a new firmware update (version XX) for its Wireless Pro and Wireless Go (3rd generation) wireless microphone systems, which support 32-bit float recording.
This firmware update brings the long-awaited Direct Connect feature to the RØDE Wireless Pro and Wireless Go (3rd Generation), which has been expanded to both products following the success of the company’s Wireless Micro.
The firmware is now available for free download via RØDE’s companion app , RØDE Central (desktop version).
Main new features and benefits of the update
