RODE RODECaster Pro II: A Complete Studio in One Console

The RODECaster Pro II lets you produce and mix a show in real time with up to four microphones, music, prerecorded segments, and remote guests. Its Revolution preamps deliver ultra-low noise (-131.5 dBV) and up to 76 dB of gain, so even low-output dynamic broadcast mics reach ideal levels with no inline booster. The combo inputs also accept instruments and line sources, and pairs of inputs can be linked for stereo.

Processing and SMART Pads

Onboard APHEX processing adds clarity, low-end warmth, and smooth leveling, alongside EQ, high-pass filter, noise gate, de-esser, compression, reverb, delay, and pitch effects. Use the VoxLab editor for quick tone shaping or the advanced editor for detail, and save presets. Eight SMART pads trigger music and sound effects, send MIDI, or perform mixer actions like fades, ducking, and bleeps, with eight banks for 64 total actions.

Setting Up the RODECaster Pro II

Connect microphones to the four combo inputs, enabling phantom power for condensers, and plug headphones into the four headphone outputs. Connect your computer to a USB-C port for recording or streaming, and use the second USB-C port for a phone or second computer. Pair a phone over Bluetooth for calls, choose a mic preset, and assign sources to faders on the touchscreen.

What to Pair With the RODECaster Pro II

Pair the RODECaster Pro II with broadcast microphones such as the RODE PodMic or Procaster, boom arms, closed-back headphones like the RODE NTH-100, a microSD card for recording, and the RODECover II for protection.

Remote Guests and Mix-Minus

When you bring callers into a show, they need to hear everyone except themselves, or they’ll hear a distracting echo. The RODECaster Pro II creates mix-minus feeds automatically on its Bluetooth and USB channels, so phone and online guests hear the show clearly. Producer talkback lets you speak to guests without it being recorded.

Monitoring and Workflow

Four high-powered headphone outputs with individual color-coded level controls let the host and up to three guests monitor comfortably, and line outputs feed speakers for a live audience. Save complete Shows with every setting, switch between podcast, stream, and music setups instantly, and update the firmware over Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or USB as RODE adds new features.
