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 analog inputs can also be linked for also be linked for recording stereo microphone pairs, outboard gear or instruments.

Telephone interviews with a remote guest never sounded so good!

 

High-end Stereo 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 on-board processing and effects. Every great recording starts with a great microphone and a great preamp. 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® On board

The RØDECaster Pro II offers studio-quality signal processing powered by one of the most revered names in pro audio: APHEX processors have been 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.
