(Image credit: Future / Aleksha McLoughlin) A small touch, but one that in all my years of using interfaces and XLR microphones is certainly appreciated here as a quality of life upgrade. This is where those Revolution preamps come into their own, with an accurate, and clean sound profile meaning I didn't have to use a booster or crank the gain to be heard accurately. You can make things as easy or as complicated as you want here, and for me, that meant moving the gallery-style slider up roughly 3/4 of the way to avoid any clipping, and then scaling back the sensitivity in the software. It's worth noting that other Condensor / cardioid microphones, such as the Shure SM7B are included, too, so you're not just limited to Rode-only gear here. I found in my testing that using the specifically engineered 'PodMic' setting in the operating system made by mic be picked up cleanly with strong control over the pre-amp and dampening settings. For example, while the unit has six physical sliders which can be dialed to your desired level, you can then further fine-tune more specifically with options in the touchscreen interface. ![]() There's a level of versatility and control to the RodeCaster Pro II that makes it ideal for streaming, and that's perhaps going to be the greatest strength of this device when compared to some other audio interfaces. ![]() If you're already immersed in the Rode ecosystem for any of the Australian brand's gear, then you'll be well catered to with this interface. I should clarify that while the main purpose of this device may be aimed at podcasters, I have been using it in everything from streaming across Twitch and YouTube, to recording music, and as my main setup for voice calls alongside the Rode NTH 100 and Rode PodMic. In my extensive testing with the RodeCaster Pro II, I've been continuously impressed with what this all-in-one production interface can do. For maximum compatibility, the device is also MFi certified for iOS devices, and can connect through Bluetooth as well. New features are coming all the time, with a major update being released in my time testing the unit, so you'll want to be connected to the internet if possible here for the best software version possible. One of the most useful features of the Rodecaster Pro II is how it integrates with the Rode Central desktop application which can be used to tweak your settings, customize the RGB lighting, and save your specified presets as well as download firmware updates. This is also useful for those wanting specific control over their volume mixers for the likes of Discord, Apple Music, your game audio, and microphone input, but more on that later. The quad-core audio engine, complete with 4GB of internal flash memory, powers the Studio-grade Aphex audio processing and Resolution preamps for low noise to high gain pickup which I'll explain in detail a little further on.įor PC streamers, you're also to connect to two computers at once through USB-C running separate audio sources which will no doubt be ideal for the hardcore streamers using the main rig and a laptop for chat monitoring, too. ![]() ![]() Living up to the promise of being the 'world’s most powerful all-in-one audio production solution', you won't be surprised to hear that the RodeCaster Pro II is full to bursting with features for just about any use you can think of.
