Good sound starts at the source. It's essential therefore that the preamp design of your equipment ensures you capture every detail in stunning quality. Thankfully, Rode understands this and is proud to highlight the newly designed Revolution preamps onboard RodeCaster Pro II. Re-designed from the ground up, the Revolution preamps offer pristine sound quality for any instrument or microphone (condenser microphones included). With a staggering 76dB of gain that eliminates the need for a booster and an ultra-low noise level of -131.5dBV, you can be sure that your sound will be powerful and commanding, with little to no unwanted distortion, noise or artefacts in your audio.
Transparent and detailed, the Revolution preamps allow you to mix and edit your audio signal using the range of built-in processors in RodeCaster Pro II without sacrificing your sound. What's more, there are four Revolution preamps onboard! Connecting your instrument and multiple vocal microphones simultaneously just got easier and better than ever.
Pairing with the exceptional preamps, RodeCaster Pro II hosts the processing power of Aphex, one of the most revered names within the music production industry. A suite of legendary processors ensures that you will be able to sound your best no matter what. Remodelled from the ground up specifically for RodeCaster Pro II, the Aphex built-in processors offer authentic emulations of classic studio hardware units. Included with Rode RodeCaster Pro II are the Aural Exciter, ideal for adding sparkle and top-end, Big Bottom for adding dimension, depth and power as well as the Compeller compressor/leveller unit alongside a slew of De-essers, noise gates, filters and EQs.
To match the unique vocal characteristics of your hosts and guests of your podcast, broadcast or any other kind of content, all the parameters are tweakable inside the innovative VoxLab suite. Achieve pro-level results in seconds by using the intuitive design to control three parameters simultaneously, taking the guesswork out of your processing. Of course, each time you adjust, these settings can be saved and recalled in any future sessions instantly.
Every stream, video, broadcast or song is different. Designed to adapt to your creative vision, the RodeCaster Pro II enables you to set up virtually any aspect of the console to your taste, no matter the content. For common setups, RodeCaster Pro II extends the ability to save all of your settings, mixer configuration, SMART pads, internal Aphex processors and much more as a 'show'. Now, if you're a creator that's producing multiple different styles of content, you can instantly recall the settings you need as a 'show' to get up and running instantly.
Previously, the RodeCaster Pro featured sound pads. For RodeCaster Pro II, you now have SMART pads. Just as the namesake, these SMART pads can be used for a multitude of different functions, far exceeding what was previously possible. Customisable to your requirements, the onboard SMART pads allow you to do everything from the typical audio trigger, scene changes in your streaming software and MIDI commands to trigger samples in your DAW. Whilst it seems there are only eight of these SMART pads available, each pad features eight dedicated banks, offering 64 unique actions in total.
Not content with stopping there, RodeCaster Pro II ups the ante once more. The onboard six-fader mixer can be expanded using digital and hardware integrations. Independently assignable, all four analog inputs, USB and Bluetooth interfaces and SMART pads can be allocated to any of the physical or virtual faders, in any arrangement. Take control over how you choose to mix your audio with pan and Listen buttons with pre-fader listen (PFL) and after-fader listen (AFL) for each channel.
No problem! When you're first starting out, choosing the right microphone can be a daunting task. The seemingly infinite number of choices, brands, polar patterns and options on offer is enough to put anyone off. With this microphone in your set-up you're practically cheating. Its super-cardioid polar pattern enables you to record from the comfort of your home, without needing to further invest in any acoustic treatment. Seriously. The off-axis rejection of this microphone is unparalleled. Whether its noisy laptop fans, friends, family or pets, the TV in the background, or even the neighbours renovating next door. Absolutely no one will be able to come in between you and the Podcast Pro when relaying your message.
Connecting with your audience is important if you're to be successful. That's why the Podcast Pro offers a 50Hz-15kHz frequency response. The mild low-frequency presence bump is excellent for instantly achieving the warmth and intimacy commonly associated with many professional broadcasters. The subtle dip between 350Hz-500Hz naturally takes care of any "boom" and "boxiness", whilst the gradual high frequency rise ensures that "record-ready shine".
Thanks to the detailed frequency response of the Podcast Pro, this microphone is a real workhorse. Not only does it excel on any voice, it can also be used to record instruments. You name it. Drums, acoustic and electric guitars, bass, strings, brass. Absolutely any source will sound great when this dynamic microphone is in front of it!
