32-Bit Float Onboard Recording
Each transmitter has 32GB of internal memory, which Rode rates at up to 40 hours of 32-bit float backup recording. Two protections come from that. First, the transmitter's copy is independent of the wireless link, so if a signal drops, the recording is not lost. Second, 32-bit float captures an enormous range of loudness, so audio that would have clipped into harsh distortion in a conventional 24-bit recording can be lowered afterwards, and quiet passages can be raised without adding noise. Rode Central, the companion app, sets how onboard recording behaves and handles file exports to a computer. For interviews, ceremonies, lectures and anything else that happens once, this is the reason to choose a system like the GO III over simpler clip-on mics. One owner used it to record audio for their daughter's wedding and was very pleased with the result. Offload files regularly, because 40 hours of backups per transmitter still fills up across a busy week.
