RODE RODECaster Pro II Integrated Audio Production Studio (Black)

Rode RodeCaster Pro II (Black): The Ultimate Audio Production Studio
The Rode RodeCaster Pro II (Black) is an integrated audio production studio designed for creators who demand professional results. Building on its predecessor’s success, this unit offers significant enhancements in sound, connectivity, and adaptability, making it perfect for podcasters, live streamers, gamers, and musicians. This all-in-one solution simplifies advanced work with its intuitive touchscreen, tactile controls, studio-quality processing, multitrack recording, customizable sound pads, and extensive customization. Produce and mix on the fly with up to four microphones (including two wireless), music, prerecorded segments, and remote guests—all simultaneously.

Key Upgrades & Professional Audio
The RodeCaster Pro II features premium Revolution Preamps, redesigned from the ground up to offer mic/line/instrument combo inputs. These preamps deliver pristine transparency with ultralow noise (-131.5 dBV) and incredible gain (up to 76 dB), ensuring optimal recording levels even for low-output dynamic mics. Pro-grade Neutrik XLR-1/4″ combo jacks accommodate microphones (+48V phantom power), line-level sources, or instruments.

Experience studio-quality processing with authentic emulations of classic APHEX hardware processors, including Aural Exciter for clarity, Big Bottom for deep low-frequency punch, and Compellor for compression/leveling. Other processors like reverb, delay, EQ, noise gate, and de-esser are also onboard. The VoxLab editor allows quick parameter manipulation, or you can use the advanced editor for intricate adjustments.

Customizable Control & Flexible Recording
The RodeCaster Pro II features 8 programmable SMART pads that go beyond simple sound effects. Each pad can trigger audio files, activate special effects, send MIDI commands, or execute mixer functions like fades and ducking. Bank switching buttons provide access to eight banks for a total of 64 unique actions, with customizable pad illumination colors.

The 9-channel mixer includes six physical faders and three virtual channels, with future expansion options. Faders and virtual channels are freely assignable to analog inputs, USB/Bluetooth interfaces, and SMART pads. Each channel offers pan control, mute, and solo, with clear color coding for quick source identification.

Record stereo or individual multitrack files directly to a microSD card or USB storage. Choose uncompressed WAV for maximum audio quality or MP3 for longer recording times. The RodeCaster Pro II also functions as a high-quality USB audio interface to stream/record to a computer with ultrafast data transfer at 24-bit / 48 kHz.

Enhanced Monitoring & Connectivity
Four high-powered 1/4″ headphone outputs provide clear personal monitoring for the host and up to three guests, each with separate, color-coded volume controls. Connect active speakers to the 1/4″ line outputs for live audiences, or monitor wirelessly via a Bluetooth speaker.

Podcast-friendly specialties include a producer talkback mode and advanced Bluetooth connectivity for ultrahigh-quality phone calls, streaming, and wireless monitoring. Mix-minus on Bluetooth and USB channels prevents echo for remote guests.

Fast Workflow & Future-Proof Design
Save multiple “Shows” containing all settings, allowing you to instantly switch between production types. Tailored presets for Rode microphones and other popular models help you achieve great sound quickly.

The 5.5″ color touchscreen features haptic feedback and automatic brightness, with a tilted design for optimal viewing. A rotary encoder provides efficient navigation. Dual USB-C interfaces allow two computers or mobile devices to connect simultaneously, offering great options for remote podcasting or complex streaming.

An internal 1.5 GHz quad-core audio engine delivers significant processing power for current features and future updates. Bidirectional MIDI communication allows excellent integration with DAWs and streaming software. Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections offer high-speed communication for wireless firmware updates and hardware integrations. The USB connections are MFi certified for seamless integration with iOS devices.

Optional accessories like the RODECover II provide protection. Mounting options include a 3/8″ female thread and 100×100 VESA mounting holes.
