RODE RodeCaster Pro II

RODECaster Pro II is the second generation of a successful audio interface aimed specifically at podcast production. Experienced users will appreciate the new high-quality Revolution Preamps, while novice podcasters will appreciate the speed of setup and professional sound. You can record to a microSD card or to your computer. New features include Neutrik XLR/TRS combo connectors, two USB-C ports for connecting streaming devices and a multi-function encoder for easy control of the entire device. The 5.5-inch high-resolution touchscreen display has also been changed, with a new bevelled design for better visibility.

Professional sound
RODECaster Pro II offers four microphone preamps with professional sound quality and phantom power, so you can connect both dynamic and condenser microphones and enjoy clear, distortion-free, noise-free sound - just like your podcast deserves.

Audio can be recorded directly to the built-in SD card and individual volume settings are automatically adjusted. Just unpack RODECaster Pro II from the box, plug it in and you're recording in professional quality right away.

Just like radio
Eight backlit SMART pads allow you to quickly trigger jingles, commercials or effects. You can either record the desired sound yourself or easily drag and drop it directly from your computer into the software that comes with the device.

If you don't have a guest to interview in the studio, there's nothing easier than connecting your phone wirelessly with Bluetooth or a patch cable. The RODECaster Pro II takes care of any annoying echoes and you save money on additional equipment.

Podcast quickly and easily
Microphone preamps with Class A circuitry, also found in much more expensive studio gear, are complemented by an APHEX (Aural Exciter, Big Bottom) audio processor. The effects palette includes a compressor, limiter, de-esser or gate, putting the rich sound familiar from radio studios within easy reach.

RODECaster Pro II can be used completely standalone with recording to a micro SD card or uploaded to a computer via USB cable. Plus, the manufacturer promises an update for multitrack recording, which you'll especially appreciate when post-producing your podcast in editing software.

If creating content for streaming services is your daily bread, we recommend giving RODECaster Pro II a try. It will probably save you a lot of work.
