Rode Interview GO - compact handheld interview microphone, orange

Rode Interview GO is a compact handheld interview microphone in orange designed for on-the-go reporting and field interviews. This single-piece microphone converts a compatible wireless transmitter into an easy-to-hold interview mic, offering a portable solution for journalists, podcasters and content creators who need quick setup and reliable voice capture for interviews, vox pops and live reporting.

Advantages

The Interview GO provides a simple, ergonomic handheld form factor that holds compatible wireless transmitters securely while improving handling for on-camera and field use. Its included wind cover reduces wind noise and plosive syllables, helping to capture clearer spoken voice in outdoor or mobile environments. The compact size and bright orange finish make the microphone easy to spot and handle during fast-paced reporting.

Suitable for

• Field interviews and street reporting
• Broadcast and ENG-style work with wireless transmitters
• Podcasts and vox pop segments recorded on location

Key specifications

• Form factor: compact handheld adapter for wireless transmitters
• Included accessories: removable wind cover and solid grip/handle

How to use

Insert a compatible wireless transmitter into the Interview GO grip so the transmitter’s microphone capsule is covered by the wind cover. Hold the unit like a traditional handheld microphone when conducting interviews, keeping the grille aimed towards the speaker. The removable wind cover can be fitted or removed depending on conditions; use it outdoors or in windy situations to reduce wind noise and plosives. Ensure the wireless system is paired and set to appropriate levels before recording.

Usage recommendations

For best results, combine the Interview GO with RØDE wireless transmitters from the compatible series and perform a short soundcheck before on-air use. Use the wind cover in outdoor settings and keep the microphone pointing toward the speaker for consistent voice levels.
