Connectivity Options
Dealing with piecemeal setups can often hamper your creative process. Beginners and on-the-go creators can get discouraged by these complicated systems. Rode’s integrated audio production studio will streamline your rig and set you free of these frustrations. By merging all the standard podcasting studio pieces into one elegant console, the very act of creation becomes rewarding.
Building on the success of the original RODECaster Pro platform, the RODECaster Pro II expands the feature-set and improves workflow in several ways. Connections are plentiful with four Neutrik combo-jack inputs that feed into Rode’s high-gain Revolution Preamps. These ultra-low noise preamps ensure clean audio production regardless of the source and can accept microphones or instruments. Inputs can even link together for stereo recording purposes.
Connectivity doesn’t stop there. The RODECaster Pro II features wide-bandwidth Bluetooth input and output connectivity to integrate phone calls into your podcast or port your mix to other devices. Dual USB-C interfaces grant users access to multiple computers or mobile devices. This helps facilitate more complex or even remote streaming setups. Wi-fi connectivity is included, and an Ethernet connection gives a rock-solid alternative with even faster data transfer. Additionally, users can record in multitrack or stereo to a MicroSD card, USB storage device, or an attached computer.
Do you find yourself working with groups of performers? The RODECaster Pro II makes this easy with four powerful headphone amp outs, each with independent level control. Also included on the rear panel are stereo, balanced line-level ¼” outputs. This allows you to feed your mix anywhere you desire. Rode knows that your needs may change day-to-day as well. Multiple scenes called “Shows” can be saved and loaded up at any time, making various workflows quick and effortless.
Display and Controls
We often find ourselves making content in situations that present problems, and poorly lit locations are a common issue. Studios and venues can be dark, but this brilliant display makes quick changes and setups possible. The 5.5” HD screen offers straightforward access to menus and parameters, and haptic feedback helps to guarantee exact selection. For remote configurations, parameters, and changes can also be made via your computer and the RØDE Central App.
The RODECaster Pro II surface is an ergonomic masterpiece of efficiency. This highly configurable work surface features eight SMART pads, which can send MIDI commands, trigger mixer scenes, fade-ins, fade-outs, and more. Bank buttons allow for up to eight assignable banks giving users easy access to 64 custom commands. This is a flexible nine-channel mixer with six smooth physical faders and three virtual faders. The faders are assignable to the analog inputs, USB, and Bluetooth interfaces, and even the SMART pads. All controls are at your fingertips and instantly accessible.
Final Thoughts
The content you create is essential, and the RODECaster Pro II delivers the goods you need to produce top-tier sounds. On-board processing and the powerful 1.5 GHz quad-core audio engine provide sterling examples of standard audio effects like reverb, delay, and pitch-shifting. Since the effects are all handled by APHEX, users also get access to their famous Aural Exciter, Big Bottom, and Compellor processors.
Rode knows that your streaming needs are as unique as you are. By combining all of the commonly used audio tools into one powerful package, Rode has revolutionized the steaming game. The RODECaster Pro II is the final word in streaming audio production for content creators of all skill levels.
