Updated version of Rode's outstanding podcast / video / streaming mixer. Fully integrated audio production setup with microphone and instrument inputs, audio interface and built-in effects.

*** Software update October 2024 ***

Introducing a massive update for the RODECaster Pro II and RODECaster Duo - virtual devices have landed!

This new feature allows users to treat their software as if it were a microphone connected to their RODECaster. This means they can assign each app to a fader and individually apply effects and processing, create custom routing and record them individually.

This update is currently available in beta, with a full public release coming soon. To access virtual devices whilst in beta, users will need to join the RODECaster Beta Program.


Supplier's Notes:
The RODECaster Pro II is the ultimate audio production solution for streamers, podcasters, musicians and content creators. Combining revolutionary features with superior sound quality, unmatched ease of use and endless customisability, it is all any creator will ever need to record incredible audio.

Combining all of the elements typically found in a professional podcasting, streaming or studio setup into one powerful, easy-to-use console, the RODECaster Pro II simplifies the audio production process, allowing any creator to get set up to record high-quality content in seconds.

The large (5.5-inch) high-definition, full-colour touchscreen with haptic feedback, tactile rotary encoder, bright RGB colour-coding and hands-on controls makes navigating the RODECaster Pro II super simple.

Pre-loaded presets and the intuitive VoxLab processing editor make capturing professional-quality sound effortless. Every feature, from setting up a microphone channel to programming the SMART pads, has been designed to maximise creativity, and every function can be controlled on-board via the user-friendly interface or with a computer via RODE Central for maximum convenience. Incredible audio, incredibly easy.

The RODECaster Pro II offers an unparalleled feature set designed to make anyone sound exceptional every time they hit record. Four studio-grade Neutrik combo inputs with our ultra-low-noise, high-gain Revolution Preamps deliver astonishing clarity and transparency with any microphone or instrument. Users can craft their own unique sound with a full suite of studio-quality APHEX processors, including the legendary Aural Exciter, Big Bottom and Compellor, and powerful on-board effects, including reverb, delay, pitch shifting, robot effects and more. A high-performance quad-core audio engine delivers significantly more processing power than any other content creation console on the market and unlocks huge potential for future updates.

The RODECaster Pro II features four high-end studio preamps that have been designed from the ground up to deliver pristine audio quality with any microphone or instrument. With an ultra-low noise level of just -131.5dBV and a whopping 76dB of gain on tap, they eliminate the need for microphone boosters, lifters or external processing, even with the most demanding dynamic mics. They are highly transparent, allowing every detail of what's plugged in to shine and providing a clean platform to shape and enhance the signal using the on-board processing and effects.

Every great recording starts with a great microphone and a great preamp. The RODECaster Pro II features four phenomenal preamps that rival boutique designs that cost thousands of dollars per channel, complete with broadcast-quality faders for precise gain adjustment, accurate digital level metering, and high-power headphone and speaker outputs for monitoring in stunning definition . Just add a RODE mic and you're golden.

To compliment these high-end preamps, the RODECaster Pro II offers studio-quality signal processing powered by one of the most revered names in pro audio: APHEX.

On-board is a suite of legendary APHEX processors each painstakingly remodelled for the RODECaster Pro II to deliver authentic emulations of classic hardware units. This includes the Aural Exciter for adding sheen and sparkle, Big Bottom for adding richness and depth, and the legendary Compellor master compressor / leveller for adding that all-important final touch. There is also a de-esser, noise gate, high-pass filter and equaliser, also powered by APHEX.

These can be tweaked to taste using the RODECaster Pro II's innovative VoxLab processing editor, which utilises three intuitive controls to change multiple parameters on multiple processors for achieving pro results in seconds, or via the advanced editor for granular editing (either on-board or with a computer). All settings can be saved as presets and re-loaded at any time on any channel.

Every podcast, every stream, every studio is different. The RODECaster Pro II is designed to adapt to any creative vision, with endless customisability allowing users to design their perfect setup no matter what kind of content they are creating.
