Is there any difference between a Rode RODELink compared to a direct hardwired microphone connection
Buy the RODELink at Amazon: http://geni.us/Rodelink
What's the audio quality difference when recording a microphone using a Rode RODELink wireless system compared to the same microphone being connected directly to the recording device via a hardwired connection?
Does the RODELink add any noise?
Does the RODELink change the sound of the microphone?
Does the RODELink add any unwanted characteristics, such as distortion?
These were the questions that my YouTube buddy, Mr. Ian Craig, asked after he watched my first video about the RODELink.
So, this video is all about figuring out the answers to Ian's questions.
Here is a link to an uncompressed audio file of the audio in this test.

Please feel free to leave your thoughts and opinions in the comments.
Thanks again to Ian for suggesting this test scenario. Check out Ian's YouTube, he does great videos and microphone test videos.
