Exceptional Sound
For Every Creator

The RØDECaster Pro II offers an unparalleled feature set designed to make anyone sound exceptional every time they hit record. Four studio-grade Neutrik combo inputs with 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 on-board 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.

Endless Customization
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 customisability allowing users to design their perfect setup no matter what kind of content they are creating.

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 recording stereo microphone pairs, outboard gear or instruments. 

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 fade outs, 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. 

Processing and Effects 

Every APHEX processor and on-board effect is fully adjustable using the on-board 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.

The Perfect Audio Control Centre
For Any Creator's Setup

The RØDECaster Pro II offers unrivalled connectivity with a wide range of devices, unlocking more creative possibilities, more streamlined workflows, and easier integration with other equipment than ever before. It’s the perfect audio control centre for any creator’s setup.

The four Neutrik combo inputs allow mic, line and instrument level devices to be connected for recording everything from a single microphone for streaming to a multitracked livestream with vocals, keys and guitar. There are also four highpower headphone outputs and ¼-inch balanced line outputs for connecting speakers.

Advanced Bluetooth connectivity with wideband speech can be used for ultra-high-quality phone call integration, crystal-clear audio streaming, wireless monitoring and more. Dual USB-C interfaces allow two computers or mobile devices to be connected simultaneously, unlocking huge potential for everything from remote podcasting to organising complex streaming setups.

Users can record in stereo or multitrack to either an on-board microSD™ card, a USB storage device, or directly to a computer, with ultra-fast data transfer. The RØDECaster Pro II also features Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections, which offer high-speed communication with computers and other devices for updating firmware wirelessly, software and hardware integrations, and more.
