Record podcasts and music like the pros
Rode has developed the Rodecaster Pro II for professional podcasters and musicians alike . It offers a full-fledged audio studio in a compact format with nine channels, to which just about any microphone or instrument can be connected thanks to Neurik combo inputs . The low-noise Revolution preamps and Aphex signal processing ensure that voices or instruments are recorded with crystal clarity. A total of eight SMART Pads with bank switching can be assigned jingles or samples.
The Rodecaster Pro II from Rodeoffers extensive connection options for individual recordings up to the recording of discussions. Four combo inputs are located on the back of the compact audio studio. There is also a 3.5 mm jack socket, for example for smartphones, in order to also integrate external partners.
Alternatively, a mobile device can also be integrated via Bluetooth. Music can be imported from a PC via two USB-C connectors. Four 3.5 mm jack sockets for headphones are available for monitoring. Two external loudspeakers can also be operated via jack sockets.
Audio signals sound phenomenally good thanks to the preamp
Audio signals fed in are processed internally by a preamplifier. In addition, Rode has given his Rodecaster Pro II the professional Aural Exciter from Aphex . If its effect is active, highs gain additional quality and lows can also be boosted by the Big Bottom effect at the push of a button. This makes voices in particular easier to understand and clearer.
There's also a studio-quality compressor, noise gate, high-pass filter, de-esser, and three-band EQ for each channel, all fed by Aphex. Speaking of sounds, a total of 64 sounds or samples can be triggered via eight SMART Pads. The lighting of the buttons can be configured individually.
For post-production, extensive software is available on a PC or Mac connected via USB-C, with which the Rodecaster Pro II can also be configured. Recordings can either be stored directly on the computer or on a microSD card in the podcast studio - a practical solution for recordings on the go.
