  CONTENT CREATION MADE EASY

  Combining all of the elements typically found in professional podcasting, streaming or studio setup into one powerful, easy-to-use console, the RØDECaster 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 make navigating the RØDECaster 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 RØDE Central for maximum convenience.

  
  

  EXCEPTIONAL SOUND FOR EVERY CREATOR

  The RØDECaster Pro II offers an unparalleled feature set designed to make anyone sound exceptional every time they hit a 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 onboard 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.

  
  

  REVOLUTION PREAMPS

  The RØDECaster 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 onboard processing and effects.

  Every great recording starts with a great microphone and a great preamp. The RØDECaster 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 complement these high-end preamps, the RØDECaster Pro II offers studio-quality signal processing powered by one of the most revered names in pro audio: APHEX.

  Onboard is a suite of legendary APHEX processors each painstakingly remodelled for the RØDECaster 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 RØDECaster 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 onboard or with a computer). All settings can be saved as presets and re-loaded at any time on any channel.

  
  

  ENDLESS CUSTOMISATION FOR COMPLETE CREATIVE FREEDOM

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

  
  

  Processing and Effects
  Every APHEX processor and onboard effect is fully adjustable using the onboard editor or with a computer using RODE Central. Users can fine-tune every processing parameter using the advanced editor or achieve pro results in seconds using VoxLab™.

  
  

  Saving ‘Shows’
  All of the RODECaster Pro II’s settings, including the mixer configuration, SMART pads and APHEX processing, can be saved on board as a ‘Show’ and loaded at any time. Perfect for creators who are producing multiple shows, streams or different kinds
  of content.

  
  

  SMART Pads
  The original RØDECaster Pro had sound pads. The RØDECaster 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. Each pad can be customised to perform a variety of functions including activating voice effects, sending MIDI commands to external software and hardware for everything
  from changing scenes in streaming software to triggering samples in a DAW, and activating mixer actions, such as fade-ins and
  fadeouts, ducking and profanity muting. Eight banks of pads can be easily accessed via the dedicated bank switching buttons, allowing users to access a total of 64 unique actions. Complete creative control at the touch of a button.

  
  

  The Mixer
  The RØDECaster Pro II has a highly flexible mixer featuring nine channels: six channels with broadcast-quality physical faders and three virtual channels, with the option to expand via digital hosting and hardware integrations with future updates. These are individually assignable, meaning the four analog inputs, USB and Bluetooth interfaces, and SMART pads can be allocated to any of the physical faders or virtual channels in any order. This allows users to customise their RØDECaster Pro II to suit
  their creative requirements and workflow. There is a pan control for each channel and the analogue inputs can also be linked for recording stereo microphone pairs, outboard gear or instruments.

• Podcasters looking for the right mic to bring professional-quality sound to their productions on YouTube, FaceBook, Twitch, and elsewhere have a great option with the PodMic from Rode. This cost-effective, stylish, end-address dynamic XLR microphone is specifically tuned for speech and broadcast. Tailor-made for use with the RODECaster Pro podcast production studio and PSA1 broadcast arm, it can also be plugged into a wide range of pro audio gear to deliver broadcast-quality sound.

  Built for Podcasting

  When we designed the PodMic, we set out to create the ultimate Podcasting microphone. Durable, great-sounding, easy to use and flexible. Whether your podcast features screaming sports commentary or intimate poetry readings, the PodMic will deliver a balanced, easy-to-listen-to vocal tone that your listeners will love.

  Solid construction

  With all-metal construction, the PodMic is built to last. The robust swing-arm mounting matches perfectly to the RØDE PSA1 boom arm for ultimate flexibility and convenience.

  End the Pops

  The end-fire dynamic capsule is protected by a stainless steel mesh grille and an integrated pop shield, allowing you to get up close to the microphone for that intimate ‘radio’ sound.

  Matched with RØDECaster Pro
  Integrated Podcast Production Console

  The PodMic will give great results with any XLR interface but has been optimised for use with the new RØDECaster Pro integrated podcast production console. Simply select ‘PodMic’ as your microphone type using the touch screen on the RØDECaster Pro and the console will automatically apply the right settings to deliver the best possible results from your PodMic – whatever your voice type.
