RODE RODECaster PRO II Integrated Audio Production Studio

Combining all 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 5.5" high-definition, full-color touchscreen with haptic feedback, tactile rotary encoder, bright RGB color coding and hands-on controls makes navigating the RODECaster Pro II super simple. Preloaded 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 maximize creativity, and every function can be controlled on board via the user-friendly interface or with a computer via RODE Central for maximum convenience. 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 ultralow-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 onboard effects, including reverb, delay, pitch shifting, robot effects and more. A high-performance quad-core audio engine delivers massive processing power and unlocks huge potential for future updates. Revolution Preamps 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 ultralow 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 onboard 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. APHEX Processing To compliment these high-end preamps is a suite of legendary APHEX processors, each painstakingly remodeled 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/leveler for adding that all-important final touch. There is also a de-esser, noise gate, high-pass filter and equalizer, also powered by APHEX. These can be tweaked to taste using the RODECaster Pro II’s innovative VoxLab processing editor, which utilizes 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 reloaded at any time on any channel. SMART Pads The original RODECaster Pro had sound pads. The RODECaster Pro II has SMART pads. As the name suggests, these can be used for so much more than just triggering music, jingles or sound effects
