Rode Rodecaster Pro Podcast Production Studio

AU-C5997521

The RØDECaster Pro is the world’s first fully-integrated podcast production studio. Whether you are just starting out, or are a seasoned broadcast professional, the RØDECaster Pro Podcast Production Studio is all you will ever need!

THE NEXT MAJOR FIRMWARE UPDATE FOR THE RØDECASTER PRO IS NOW AVAILABLE!

Version 2.1.2 unlocks access to MIDI Control for syncing the RØDECaster Pro with DAWs and streaming software, new sound pad modes, nine language options, and more.

Features

The 4 high-quality microphone channels are able to power studio condenser microphones as well as conventional dynamic microphones. You can quickly connect microphones for you and your guests with automatic level settings and one-touch recording to a microSD card. You can literally be recording your first podcast within minutes of taking the RØDECaster Pro out of the box.

Sound Effects and Jingles

The RØDECaster Pro comes with eight programmable sound effects pads, for the instant triggering of sound effects, music, jingles, applause and ads – perfect for giving your podcast that professional quality. You can record audio directly to the programmable pads from any input, or simply “drag and drop” files from your computer using the supplied software. You can even select your favourite colours for the pad illumination.

Phone calls

Have a remote guest you want to interview? Simply connect your phone to the RØDECaster Pro via Bluetooth™ or with a TRRS cable. The RØDECaster Pro automatically provides “mix-minus” audio to prevent echo from being heard by the caller, without the need to purchase dedicated and costly hardware. Telephone interviews with a remote guest never sounded so good!

Class A Servo-biased Preamps

The RØDECaster Pro’s pristine preamps and outputs feature Class A circuitry, as found in broadcast consoles that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. The Class A preamps provide a much cleaner gain structure with lower levels of distortion. The result is an incredibly clean, low-noise signal. The Preamps are also servo-biased, keeping distortion levels low. Your signal is broadcast-pure.

APHEX® Onboard

Your pristine signal can also be enhanced with the legendary patented audio processors, APHEX Aural Exciter™ and APHEX Big Bottom™. These have been incorporated in the audio processing section of the RØDECaster Pro, and your sound will have that rich, warm tone only found in professional studios. The RØDECaster Pro also features multistage dynamics, such as compression, limiting, de-essing and noise-gating.

Recording options

The RØDECaster Pro operates as a standalone unit straight out of the box, recording directly to a microSD™ card. You can be up and running in minutes. The RØDECaster Pro can also connect to your computer via USB, as it is a USB audio interface. This means you can record your podcast with your favourite recording software.

The RØDECaster Pro is also able to seamlessly stream a live show – today’s radio!
