Audio Production Studio. Fully integrated standalone device and the ultimate audio solution for podcasters, streamers, musicians, and content creators. The 31 cm wide RØDECaster Pro II offers state-of-the-art technology combined with the simplest and most intuitive operation. A 5.5" HD touchscreen plus an encoder with button functionality, professional channel presets, and the VOXLab Quick Editor ensure a fast and logical workflow. For those who wish, it is also possible to dive deep into the parameters of signal processing. The mixer section of the RØDECaster Pro II can be freely configured: each of the nine input channels - six physical and three virtual - can be individually assigned the desired signal. Options include analog sources connected to the four combo jacks (XLR/6.35 mm), Bluetooth, USB 1, USB 2, and audio files triggered via the SMART Pads. The first six inputs feature high-quality 100 mm faders along with select, solo, and mute buttons; the three virtual inputs are operated via the display and the large encoder next to it. Microphones (XLR) as well as electric guitars, basses, keyboards, and other line sources (6.35 mm) can be connected to the four Neutrik combo jacks on the back. Microphone signals - even those from less sensitive dynamic vocal mics - are optimally and noiselessly pre-amplified by the audiophile "Revolution" high-gain preamps. When using the jack inputs, the impedance for electric guitars can be switched to high-impedance via the menu. The RØDECaster Pro II features a dual USB audio interface with two USB-C ports and MFi certification for iOS devices.
