Can I use multiple transmitters with a single RØDELink receiver?-
Not simultaneously. Each RØDELink System is designed to operate as a pair and you can
only receive audio from one transmitter unit at any time.
That said, each RØDELink receiver has up to eight memory locations where it can store
paired transmitters so you can have one receiver unit that can connect to eight
transmitters without having to re-pair the units.
To switch between paired transmitters (in this example Ch1 and Ch2) on the same
receiver, follow these steps:
 Can I use any microphone with my RØDELink Filmmaker kit?-
Yes, the RØDELink Filmmaker kit transmitter accepts a 3.5mm TRS mic input, so you
can connect any self-powered microphone with a 3.5mm output, such as a VideoMic into
the RØDELink Filmmaker kit transmitter.
 Can I connect the output of the RØDELink Filmmaker receiver (RX-CAM) to an XLR input?-
Yes you can, using a 3.5mm to XLR adaptor such as the RØDE VXLR.
Please note that this will be an unbalanced signal.
 Can I connect an XLR microphone to the RØDELink Filmmaker kit?-
Yes you can connect an XLR microphone to the RØDELink Filmmaker kit, however the
microphone must be self-powered as the TX-BELT transmitter unit does not provide
phantom power.
To connect your XLR microphone you will need an XLR-to-3.5mm cable such as this.
 How do I pair my RØDELink transmitter and receiver?-
RØDELink kits are shipped pre-paired from the factory, however if you wish to re-pair
for any reason just follow these steps:
1. Turn on the Receiver and Transmitter units.
2. Open the battery door of both units, allowing access to the pair (red) buttons.

  • Page 2 3. On the Receiver unit, press the pair button. The screen status should change to display a flashing channel number and a searching animation to indicate it is in pair mode. 4. If you wish to select a specific channel number, press the 'CH' button to cycle through to the desired channel.
  • Page 3 likely you are to experience a decrease in their useable range. This is also relative to the environment you are operating in and depending on the amount of 2.4Ghz devices that are active at the time of use, your useable range may be less than the optimum distance. If a complex setup is required or you want to use multiple RØDELink systems, we strongly recommend testing your setup in the same active environment you intend to use it.
  • Page 4 identifying how many access points are available in an area is to take a quick look at how many you can see on your smartphone. The more access points, the higher the interference potential. 2. If you have identified that you are operating in a congested 2.4Ghz environment, you’ll then want to consider how these interferers will impact the RØDELink’s performance.
