Rode RODECaster Pro II Black Podcast Mixer

RØDECaster Pro II — Integrated Audio Production Studio

The RØDECaster Pro II merges a digital mixer, audio interface, and effects engine into one desktop console for streamers, podcasters, and musicians. Nine individually assignable channels route microphones, instruments, USB sources, Bluetooth audio, and wireless transmitters to a custom mix.

What Sets This Console Apart

Revolution Preamps designed in-house deliver -131.5 dBV EIN with 76 dB of gain — enough headroom for low-output ribbon and dynamic microphones without external boosters. A quad-core audio engine drives on-board APHEX processing, including authentic emulations of the Aural Exciter, Big Bottom, and Compellor master compressor/leveller.

Inputs, Outputs, and Device Compatibility

Four Neutrik combo jacks accept XLR microphones, line-level devices, and instruments.

• Number of Channels: 9 individually assignable — six physical faders plus three virtual layers
• Inputs: 4 × XLR/Jack combo — switchable between mic, line, and instrument
• Headphone Outputs: 4 × ¼-inch at 250 mW per channel — independent level per participant
• Bluetooth: Music and Headset profile, wide-band speech — wireless phone-call integration
• MIDI Interface: Yes — SMART pads trigger MIDI commands in DAWs and streaming software

Audio Engine and Signal Quality

• Preamplifier Gain Range: 0–76 dB — drives low-output dynamics without inline boosters
• Equivalent Input Noise: -131.5 dBV (A-weighted) — among the quietest preamps in this class
• Sample Rate: 48 kHz — fixed across all recording paths
• Bit Depth: 32-bit (USB 1) / 24-bit (USB 2) — higher resolution on the primary multitrack interface

Recording, Control Surface, and Workflow

Multitrack or stereo audio captures directly to a microSD card, USB-C drive, or connected computer. Eight SMART pads across eight banks deliver 64 programmable actions.

• SMART Pads: 8 pads × 8 banks = 64 actions — RGB-backlit, programmable on-device
• Physical Faders: 6 broadcast-quality — any source reassignable to any fader slot
• Recording Storage: microSDHC, microSDXC, or USB-C exFAT drive — direct multitrack capture without a computer
• Network Connectivity: Wi-Fi 802.11g/n/ac and Ethernet 100/1000 — enables firmware updates and remote-guest features
