Does the RodeCaster Pro II work without a computer?

Yes. It records directly to a microSD card and runs its mixer and processing onboard, so a computer is optional.

How many microphones can I connect?

It has four XLR combo inputs with Revolution preamps, and each can be routed to any of the nine mixer channels.

Can I record multiple tracks at once?

Yes. It records multitrack audio to microSD and over USB to a computer, so each channel can be kept separate.

Does it have Bluetooth?

Yes. Bluetooth lets you bring in a phone call or audio from a mobile device into the mix.

Is it good for live streaming?

Yes. The mixer, effects, and USB routing suit streamers who want hands-on control of mics, game audio, and chat.

The console, a power supply, and a USB cable are included; microSD cards and microphones are sold separately.

About the RODE RodeCaster Pro II Podcast Production Console

The RØDE RodeCaster Pro II is a podcast production console for podcasters, musicians and streaming content creators. It combines a nine-channel mixer, onboard recording and audio processing in one unit.

It has four Revolution preamps with a noise floor of –131.5dBV and 76dB of gain. Each preamp has its own gain control, metering and routing to any of the nine mixer channels. Two preamps can be linked to record stereo pairs or instruments in stereo.

The console includes emulations of APHEX processors: the Aural Exciter, Big Bottom and Compellor. The Aural Exciter adds shimmer and detail, Big Bottom adds low-end richness, and the Compellor provides transparent compression and leveling. They can be adjusted in the VoxLab editor or the advanced editor, and settings can be saved as presets.
