Together, they make dual-channel recording easier to mount, connect, monitor, and adjust in post-production—especially for interviews, small productions, and two-person video shoots. ### Key takeaways - The RODE DCS-1 mounts two Wireless GO receivers on a camera’s shoe mount. - The SC11 cable sends each receiver to a separate camera channel. - One microphone is recorded on the left channel and the other on the right. - Separate channels make it easier to fix levels and microphone bleed in post. - The setup does not connect two transmitters to one Wireless GO receiver. ## A compact dual-mic camera setup The DCS-1 is a small aluminum bracket designed to hold two RODE Wireless GO receivers. It attaches to a camera’s shoe mount and provides two additional shoe mounts on top, giving each receiver its own secure position. The bracket is made from metal but remains lightweight, weighing about 48 grams. It also has a locking nut and a set of grooves underneath for cable management. That last detail is easy to overlook, but it helps keep cables away from camera controls and prevents them from hanging in front of the rig. Although it is sized for two Wireless GO receivers, the DCS-1 is not limited to that combination. You could mount a receiver and a RODE VideoMic Pro, or use another compatible piece of camera-mounted equipment. The basic idea is simple: add two devices to one camera shoe without needing a larger cage or more complicated rig. ## What the SC11 cable does The DCS-1 handles mounting, while the SC11 handles the audio connection. It is a shielded adapter and splitter cable designed to connect two RODE devices to a camera’s 3.5mm microphone input. The cable has a short, flexible memory section that can be bent into position and held out of the way. The point where the two channels join can sit inside the cable management groove on the DCS-1, creating a cleaner setup. Most importantly, the SC11 keeps the two microphone signals separate. One receiver is sent to the camera’s left channel and the other to the right channel. This is a much more useful arrangement than combining both microphones into a single mixed signal before recording. ## Why separate channels matter [A two-person wireless setup](https://www.podcastvideos.com/calibrating-sony-fx3-autofocus-settings-for-dynamic-two-person-interviews/) can create a common audio problem: microphone bleed. When two people are in the same room, each microphone hears some of the other person’s voice. If both signals are combined into one track, it becomes harder to control that bleed later. With the SC11, each microphone is recorded independently. That gives you more options during editing, including: 1. Adjusting each speaker’s volume separately. 2. Lowering one microphone when the other person is talking. 3. Cleaning up unwanted room sound on only one channel. 4. Cutting sections of one microphone out of the mix when it is not needed. 5. Building a more balanced final dialogue track. This is especially helpful for interviews, short films, tutorials, and other productions where clear dialogue matters. PodcastVideos.com regularly looks at the practical side of production, and this is a good example of a small accessory solving a real editing problem. ## Managing microphone bleed on set Separate recording channels help, but they do not eliminate bleed. Good microphone placement is still important. Try to keep the speakers and their microphones farther apart when possible. If two people are standing right next to each other, both microphones will pick up more of both voices. A few feet of distance can make a noticeable difference. The microphone’s position also matters. Keep each transmitter close to its intended speaker and positioned consistently. The closer the microphone is to the person speaking, the less gain you may need, which can help reduce unwanted room sound and bleed. For a polished project, you can also edit the two tracks separately. Reduce or remove the other person’s microphone during pauses, or use basic dialogue processing on each channel before mixing them together. ## What this setup can and cannot do The DCS-1 and SC11 do not turn one Wireless GO receiver into a two-transmitter receiver. You still need two complete Wireless GO kits, with one receiver and transmitter pair for each person. The accessories simply make it practical to use those two systems with one camera. They are useful when you want a straightforward setup without adding a separate field recorder or audio mixer. ## A useful upgrade for two-person productions For creators using a mirrorless camera, the DCS-1 and SC11 provide a compact way to record two wireless microphones. The hardware is small, the cable routing is tidy, and the separate channels give you much more control once the footage reaches the editing room. It is not a replacement for a dedicated audio recorder in every production. Still, for interviews, quick shoots, live presentations, and smaller video crews, it is a practical solution that keeps the camera rig manageable while preserving useful control over dialogue.
