Wowzers! This solves all the issues I have had with my beloved Rodecaster Pro trying to mix in my Roland keyboard. Whee! I can hardly wait to add this to my admittedly RODE heavy studio setup. Accessories, too! I'm a kid in a candy store again! Thank you so much for answering all my wish list items!
Yes! A mount! This is the whole reason I didn't buy the original Rodecaster! I'm buying this! Plus, this update is the closest thing I have seen compared to the radio station's mixing board! This is SUPER powerful for the price! I'll be pre-ordering!!
The Dual USB-C is so clutch for dual PC streaming! I've been debating getting the Rode Caster Pro so I can have multiple mics but wasn't sure how I'd connect my two pc's. This just made my choice so much simpler. Love my go xlr but this is clutch
One thing that would be very interesting if there would be more advanced routing features to come maybe with later firmware updates. I see in the video that you already have a discrete channel for voice chat etc. but maybe this could be also be made extendable so that i could split up audio sources on the pc and have for example Spotify, Voice Chat, PC Sound and also Game Sounds on different lines.
One thing I can't find out, and would be a make-or-break feature. For streaming, when connecting game audio to one channel and the chat audio in another channel, currently on the Rodecaster Pro there is no way to mix-minus the game audio from the people connected on the chat audio channel. Is there going to be more advance mix-minus features in the Rodecaster Pro II that would allow me to choose what outputs are being sent down each channel, so that the people on the other ends of the chat channel only hear Mic 1 and not the Game audio?
Finally the update is here. I got me a Tascam Mixcast4 because of some very minor advantages over the RCP, but now all that is gone, I'll be getting the II immediately. So many great features, the one killing option is linking inputs into a stereo "one fader" operation. This is ideal for my matched pair of Oktava MK-012 condensers used in front of an acoustic guitar while livestreaming. The vocals are handled by Røde VideoMic NTG, I think I'll be set. Congrats on the release and good luck!
Congratulation! That sounds amazing! We are using the Series 1 in our studios - and it works brilliant! Now we are very excited to make the switch to the new Pro II. We'll keep the PRO I as a spare desk just in case.. or for tough outfield recordings :-)
I liked the first one SO MUCH, I had to buy two of them!! lol (literally JUST bc I liked the product THAT much!) Now with this one, and all of it's new capabilities, features, and awesomeness, I'll have to be buying this one as well. Just because it is such a cool piece of gear.
Hoping for the ability to set and save “scenes” like on the QSC Touchmix for when I need to switch from music mode to podcasting to streaming. This would end the competition. Maybe in an update? Love your products! Congrats! 🎉
I wouldn't, you'll loose your virtual audio cables, where the goxlr has 8 virtual cables that will dows cam see, I've just bought the rodecaster pro 2 realised this and had to return and return to the goxlr
@@brekirm this aged a little poorly given Helicon fired the entire team that handled all software & drivers for the GoXLR, basically killing it. Also, you can use virtual audio cables through a different software solution quite easily if that’s what your after, although I’m pretty sure Rode has said something like this is in the pipeline
@@brekirm nice! It honestly seems to be the best option given the Helicon news. I tried to use the Apollo Twin in my setup, but thunderbolt support for Windows is in a god awful state right now, and this seems to be amazing in every area I could ask for. The dual connectivity is probably what I’m most excited about for my WFH setup. Mine comes tomorrow 😁
@Montagic enjoy, it can be a bit confusing at first but I've had it for 2 months now and I'm enjoying it, just wish they had vitual cables for simplicity, but other than that I'm enjoying it
Rode is doing a good job innovating. I like these products for that reason. Like Apple products, Rode team is doing a good job from concept to product.
Quick Question, are we able to use a fader for a program such as Spotify or Chrome/Browser audio for our live streams? This is something the Wave 3 and other products simplified.
The USB 1 input comes with a discrete virtual channel for chat applications, on Windows OS this can be used to assign specific programs such as Spotify or Discord etc.
Keep in mind that use of Spotify according to the general agreements, is not allowed for public performance. Officially it's not even allowed for use in radio broadcasts but on the other hand, they pay licence fees most of the times.
Hello and congrats for this Rodecaster Pro II ! Can you tell me if the two USB inputs can be plugged to the same computer ? In the video you tell that we can plug two devices, but can i connect the two usb ports to the same computer to have two virtual outputs on the computer, and so play on two differents faders on the rodecaster Pro II from my computer ? Many thanks.
Looks great but a real shame that the stereo TRRS input has been omitted or not replaced by 2 extra physical input channels. Having to use half of the 4 available Neutrik inputs to connect a stereo line-in source drastically reduces functionality / mic options etc. The provision of an additional 2 physical channels or retention of a stereo TRRS would have avoided this.
Hi. One question... What about the latency? As a music device, with line inputs, we expect low latency while using a DAW, in order to use it as an audio interface and not only streaming device. Is it possible?
@@KurtisB Yup, but you are talking about direct monitoring. Remember that in order to do multitrack in a DAW software, we must install the Asio4all driver, and then the RODE Asio. Both caused a lot of latency.
As a person who was a sound engineer in a Podcast Firm which is using Rodecaster Pro, the preamps and built-in effects etc. are definitely not good enough for a professional tasks. I am also a bedroom musician and I'm using the zoom h6 both for podcast and music records. Extremely cleaner preamps and no latency and fantastic XY mic. Also I'm using it for short movies, documentaries, commercials.... Because it is portable and beast! You can use it as a multi-channel audio interface up to 6 channels without any driver. I think, Rodecaster's are made to be easy to use. I think musicians and sound staffs are not the target audiences. I have 3 different Rodecaster Pro and I'm using the Podcaster, Podmic, Shure Mics, AKG C314, Rode NTG 3, Sennheiser Booms but there is a lot of noise in all of them. Especially with Rode mics... So, I'm carrying my Zoom H6 to everywhere, rather than using one of my Rodecaster because of the huge audio quality difference.
@@bayburtluzihni8103 I’ve noticed that most of the noise is generated by the headphone preamps being absolute garbage and doesn’t actually end up on the recording but I hope the RCP 2 is even better
Two questions... well, three: 1) Will it stream out those network connections? Which codecs/wrappers? 2) Can you put an Ableton controller on it for more pads without paging? 3) How about an external fader bank, to unvirtual those extra channels?
Hey there! The RCPII doesn’t have direct broadcast capabilities. As for the Ableton query, unfortunately not. On your third point, thanks for the feedback! Hope this helps, and feel free to reach out to our Service Team with any further queries 🙂 rode.com/en/support/contact
Looks nice, if it works well with windows, so I can record multitrack and hit play to hear without changing settings that would be great. Also auto ducking better along with a hard limiter on output would be enough for me to take the plunge. Wonder whether you would be able to have an add on unit for additional faders to extend the console?
The only thing that would stop me from buying this is the limitations surrounding virtual inputs... i use a GOXLR currently for live streams and would love to have multiple XLR inputs, but if everything funnels into a single audio output from the computer, that would be a big change.
My question is about monitoring. I swapped from a GoXLR to the Wave semi recently as the Wave allowed me to turn DOWN the music I hear but leave it on for the stream output. I don't want to turn the music completely off but in my experience, if I get everything right the music is too loud for me when it's perfect for stream. Too many headaches ... or no audible music. With Wave I have this set like 30% apart and it works like a dream. I'll get one of the first RCP2s if I can change the monitoring levels and I'll probably stick with the Wave for now if I can't.
This device put my just-a-few-months-ago purchased Tascam Mixcast 4 to shame. Darn, I should've waited. But with that said, my Mixcast 4 still does everything I "NEED" so I'm cool. I still wish I had waited though. Darn it!!!!! I like the fact the inputs are versatile and not just STRICTLY FOR MICS ONLY!!!!! USB interface for two devices simultaneously!!! Really?!! That's crazy!!! Full blown effects processors for EACH and EVERY channel? Yeah, I definitely should have waited. It's way too late to take my Mixcast 4 back.
Can we get a mobile weather resistant version , smaller less features for us mobile creatives. Bluetooth to headphones wireless go system and cameras would be great. Maybe in a 7 " form factor we can hot shoe on top of camera ? cheers. looks great keep those great ideas coming.
So far I've heard no mention of an optical input. Does it have this so I can easily hook up my PS4 Pro and XBox One like I can with my GoXLR? Did you really think of everything? What about submixes? The one thing my GoXLR should have added long ago.
Ok i think the only thing this needs and i know the DEVs for Rodecaster listen to the people is what EVO 16 has (the smart gain feature) where you talk into the MIC and it adjust perfectly for you (great for voice overs) I would looooooooooooooooooooooooooooove this feature to be in the rodecaster pro especially at the level the EVO 16 has.
This is an amazing update. Whilst this is brilliant for podcasting and all sorts I would like to see something like a Rodecaster Pro Max for radio broadcasting. Obviously you can do this with the existing Rodecaster Pro but radios typically have other sources such as turntables and CD players. If you made a 10 fader version of this with 4 stereo phono inputs aswell it would be perfect. In addition it would be awesome if the usb supported more than 2 in. Radio software allows you to send jingles to one channel, pre fade to another, so 8 or 10 in would be brilliant. There is very little catering for the radio broadcast market at the moment that comes even near the features of the Rodecaster Pro so a Max version with the features above would kill it for community radio, even some DJs too.
A lot of radio stations are automated these days, but I know there are some stations that have turntables. Where I work, we're running Wide Orbit, but still have inputs for CD players or external audio sources like laptops.
Do you guys remember writing this? No Reverb? If you downloaded the beta version of 2.1, you may have noticed that we removed the reverb effect from the firmware. Don't worry, it will return! We’re working on making it a more practical and fun feature, so keep your eyes peeled for it in future updates, and be sure to let us know how you might use reverb in your podcasts.
Looks like I may be purchasing this one and selling my original RCP. I love the sounds of not needing to have a Cloudlifter or a Fethead of some sort to make the audio much better. I think that's the only gripe I had on the RCP and that was having to keep the mixer turned almost all the way up to make any sort of difference in the sound and it gave a slight white noise type sound when you go to high.
are you able to connect the Rode Wireless Go 2 receiver to one of the USB C ports so that you can utilise the 2 microphones as additional inputs on the RodeCaster Pro 2?
Not via the USB-C ports at this stage, though this is something we're considering implementing for future firmware updates! In the meantime, you can connect your Wireless GO II via the 3.5mm TRS connection and VXLR pro adaptors.
@@rodemic that sounds amazing - stretching the “friendship” a little, usb c hub and multiple wireless go 2’s? USB power and this plugged into my BMD Atem Pro ISO would make a fantastic interview setup as I could then run a headphone out into one of the mic inputs on the BMD Atem. Loving the Aussie ingenuity. Keep it up!!!
Did I miss where you cover Parametric Equalizers?!? Seems like such an important feature for live-sound especially if using it more as a mixer. If you can just let us dial in our own parametric band fixes, that'd go a LONG ways for using this as a live mixer.
@@rodemic I heard the 3 band but that it was really limited with what you could do versus any real digital board how you can adjust the width of the effect, where it hits, etc.
Is it possible to mute the mic without having it on a slider? With the GoXLR we were able to assign the mute button to the cough button, to free up a slider. To have the same with the Smart Pads would be nice to have
That thing looks great! I hope it will integrate with my Blackmagic Design ATEM family video tools :-D. Then we truly have a high quality studio in a backpack. Just blink twice if Australia will take over the streaming media industry. 😊🙃😉
The RØDECaster Pro II can be powered by a USB power bank for use literally anywhere. You just need a USB-C power bank capable of 30W USB-C PD (15V, 2A).
Powered by a USB bank is better than an external battery, you are at least in control of that for years to come vs having a battery go bad inside the unit.
finally an EQ! the one thing missing from the original, and it was almost enough to make me return it, but i couldn't wait for shipping on a replacement at the time. i have to run everything through my old console to have EQ, and i got the RC1 to replace the old noisy console. I am still upset about it, and i hesitate every time i look at any other rode devices, thinking what industry standard item is going to be missing from this? I probably won't buy the RC2 because of my experience. i will instead spend nearly 3 times the money for a full sized programable and routable console. i might change my mind if i get an eq on the RC1 via a firmware update. but no promises. I also need twice as many channels as this provides inputs for, so thats a challenge.
A thought - provide more inputs into the console over USB. Would be super handy in an online radio setup where automation systems like to use multi channels, so instead of it being a 2i/16, perhaps make it 6i or 8i/16 Just opens up more flexibility, not only for radio, but streamers alike. :)
That’s a great idea Dan, I wonder if they also could put in a live wire connection. Or to let you put the box on the net work looking like any other device per se. But let you route all kinds of audio in your studio through your consul for very little effort.
The original RØDECaster Pro will still receive service and support like any other product, but it’s unlikely we’ll be pushing any more firmware updates.
All of the functionality of the TRRS connection from the original RØDECaster Pro has been replaced by the two USB-C and ¼-inch TRS inputs. For example, you can connect both Android and iOS devices to the USB ports. Other devices can be connected to the TRS line inputs on the combo jacks.
Does headphone monitoring include the processing effects such as compressor and noise gate or is headphone monitoring pre-processing only? Is there any headphone delay with the processing on?
@rode Will the storage carry bags, vaser mounts and coloured XLR cables be available for sale soon? I understand the Rodecover 2 is already available for sale. Many thanks for your kind assistance.
How many accessible sources can be addressed over a s ingle USB, I would prefer to be able to send 4 addressable sources over USB to assign to sliders for when I'm mixing audio for music videos and isolation.
Absolutely love the RCP1 and can't wait to get this one. We're also launching a new review channel called "That Review Guy" and would like to be part of the review team for the RCP2. How do we go about applying to be included in that group?
Not sure if you can do this or not now,but can you add particular sources to sliders? For live streamers you need to be able to assign things like discord to a slider, music to another, etc. Also with regard to sub mixes it would be great for live streamers to have a mix for their headset and an audience mix. I have the original rodecaster but only use it for podcasts. It’s great don’t get me wrong. But I also live stream and the rodecaster sits idle. I use the beacn mix create for live streams. Thx!
RODE if you are reading this. We would LOVE to have a profile for the RODE Wireless Go for when we plug it into on of the mic ports. Being that this is your Mic you could build the PERFECT premade profile for the power sound options like you did for the Podmic and others.
Hey :) We wanted to use it in the stream with speakers, but just can't get rid of the feedback from the mics. (Rode mics) Also, you can hear our voice in the speakers, which we don't want. Do you have a suggestion for a solution? Is there a setting that we are overlooking? We had a Behringer mixer before, there were no problems. Thank you and best regards

It's an Amazing Product just a Completed Studio in one simple Board. Love It!!!
The next thing they need to make is a Rodecaster pro mini.
Like a two input version which is pocket sized, maybe four pads. Like a field recoder thingy? H6 H8 etc. Competition
I simply dont get it why we need big a** pads and all that large pots. MAKE IT SMALLER
Then Rodcaster pro Max, with 8 or 12 xlr inputs
1 xlr input, no instruments and optimised for game streaming. That would make for an insanely popular product in the sector.

We’re working on making it a more practical and fun feature, so keep your eyes peeled for it in future updates, and be sure to let us know how you might use reverb in your podcasts.
Looks like I may be purchasing this one and selling my original RCP. I love the sounds of not needing to have a Cloudlifter or a Fethead of some sort to make the audio much better. I think that's the only gripe I had on the RCP and that was having to keep the mixer turned almost all the way up to make any sort of difference in the sound and it gave a slight white noise type sound when you go to high.
You will no longer have that gripe with the Revolution Preamps™ of the RØDECaster Pro II 😊
are you able to connect the Rode Wireless Go 2 receiver to one of the USB C ports so that you can utilise the 2 microphones as additional inputs on the RodeCaster Pro 2?
Not via the USB-C ports at this stage, though this is something we're considering implementing for future firmware updates! In the meantime, you can connect your Wireless GO II via the 3.5mm TRS connection and VXLR pro adaptors.
@@rodemic that sounds amazing - stretching the “friendship” a little, usb c hub and multiple wireless go 2’s? USB power and this plugged into my BMD Atem Pro ISO would make a fantastic interview setup as I could then run a headphone out into one of the mic inputs on the BMD Atem. Loving the Aussie ingenuity. Keep it up!!!
I have it now. I love my rode caster but this is insane. I know batman feels when he first got his utility belt.
Did I miss where you cover Parametric Equalizers?!? Seems like such an important feature for live-sound especially if using it more as a mixer. If you can just let us dial in our own parametric band fixes, that'd go a LONG ways for using this as a live mixer.
The RØDECaster Pro II has a 3-band Parametric EQ for each channel within the audio processing settings.
@@rodemic I heard the 3 band but that it was really limited with what you could do versus any real digital board how you can adjust the width of the effect, where it hits, etc.
In accessories I think it would be great to have a sort of rack mount so you can horizontally put the mixer in your table for example.
There is a VESA mount adaptor on the base of the RØDECaster Pro II unit as well as a 3/8" thread for mounting however you like!
@@rodemic I’m thinking of a flush mount so you can embed you mixer in the table.
I gotta say im very impressed with this i own the original and i love it but the pre amps in the 2 has me sold
Finally optimized for the beloved Shure SM7B. Love it!
Looks amazing but I really need 5 XLR mics connected for me to be able to use this :(
Congratulations RØDE
Mine will be here tomorrow!
This has no audio routing and sliders can not controll different audio devices like the goxlr does ?
Was looking got something similar, looks like it's here 😋🤩
Just ordered mine. I hope I get it soon.
Is it possible to mute the mic without having it on a slider? With the GoXLR we were able to assign the mute button to the cough button, to free up a slider. To have the same with the Smart Pads would be nice to have
Glad I waited for this
That thing looks great! I hope it will integrate with my Blackmagic Design ATEM family video tools :-D. Then we truly have a high quality studio in a backpack. Just blink twice if Australia will take over the streaming media industry. 😊🙃😉
Will it allow audio feedback on phone calls. Allowing audio played thru both ends and heard on both ends.
Omg you guys never stop 😂😂
Definitely not a bad thing lol
Colored XLR cables 👀
Damn I was hoping this one had a built in battery. I have the adapter but none of my smaller battery packs actually work with it
That's the single biggest problem with the original
I also bought the adapter but it doesn't work, even with battery USB PD
The RØDECaster Pro II can be powered by a USB power bank for use literally anywhere. You just need a USB-C power bank capable of 30W USB-C PD (15V, 2A).
@@rodemic I just think a built in battery would be more convenient. The less wires the better when truly trying to work literally anywhere
Powered by a USB bank is better than an external battery, you are at least in control of that for years to come vs having a battery go bad inside the unit.
finally an EQ! the one thing missing from the original, and it was almost enough to make me return it, but i couldn't wait for shipping on a replacement at the time. i have to run everything through my old console to have EQ, and i got the RC1 to replace the old noisy console. I am still upset about it, and i hesitate every time i look at any other rode devices, thinking what industry standard item is going to be missing from this? I probably won't buy the RC2 because of my experience. i will instead spend nearly 3 times the money for a full sized programable and routable console. i might change my mind if i get an eq on the RC1 via a firmware update. but no promises. I also need twice as many channels as this provides inputs for, so thats a challenge.
A thought - provide more inputs into the console over USB. Would be super handy in an online radio setup where automation systems like to use multi channels, so instead of it being a 2i/16, perhaps make it 6i or 8i/16 Just opens up more flexibility, not only for radio, but streamers alike. :)
That’s a great idea Dan, I wonder if they also could put in a live wire connection. Or to let you put the box on the net work looking like any other device per se. But let you route all kinds of audio in your studio through your consul for very little effort.
Will there be a RCP2 extreme with 8 microphone inputs?
Did you mention the RJ45 and what it's for?
Does the Rodecaster 2 have a clock in it now? To stablize sync to cameras?
Yes, it does!
Sorry to ask, I couldn’t find the answer, can it do video switching?
Yes it can! You can use the MIDI commands setup via the SMART pads in platforms like OBS to switch between your scenes :)
Does it mean that updates are over for version 1 owner?
The original RØDECaster Pro will still receive service and support like any other product, but it’s unlikely we’ll be pushing any more firmware updates.
Question? How come you left out the trrs jack?
All of the functionality of the TRRS connection from the original RØDECaster Pro has been replaced by the two USB-C and ¼-inch TRS inputs.
For example, you can connect both Android and iOS devices to the USB ports. Other devices can be connected to the TRS line inputs on the combo jacks.
Looks great!
wow this looks amazing
Does headphone monitoring include the processing effects such as compressor and noise gate or is headphone monitoring pre-processing only? Is there any headphone delay with the processing on?
Yes, you will hear the processing FX if you have them switched on and you won't hear a delay through the headphones while recording 😊
Looks great 👍
@rode Will the storage carry bags, vaser mounts and coloured XLR cables be available for sale soon? I understand the Rodecover 2 is already available for sale. Many thanks for your kind assistance.
Hey Andrew, the backpack and other accessories are still coming. We should have an update for you on this soon!
How many accessible sources can be addressed over a s ingle USB, I would prefer to be able to send 4 addressable sources over USB to assign to sliders for when I'm mixing audio for music videos and isolation.
Absolutely love the RCP1 and can't wait to get this one. We're also launching a new review channel called "That Review Guy" and would like to be part of the review team for the RCP2. How do we go about applying to be included in that group?
I wonder , for game streamers, if you have the ability to have sub mixes for stream output and a sub mix for your headphones.
Not currently, but we’re definitely looking at this for a future firmware update.
Not sure if you can do this or not now,but can you add particular sources to sliders? For live streamers you need to be able to assign things like discord to a slider, music to another, etc. Also with regard to sub mixes it would be great for live streamers to have a mix for their headset and an audience mix. I have the original rodecaster but only use it for podcasts. It’s great don’t get me wrong. But I also live stream and the rodecaster sits idle. I use the beacn mix create for live streams. Thx!
RODE if you are reading this. We would LOVE to have a profile for the RODE Wireless Go for when we plug it into on of the mic ports. Being that this is your Mic you could build the PERFECT premade profile for the power sound options like you did for the Podmic and others.
Please make a smaller version
That's a fun idea!
This is amazing!
I literally received yesterday the first RODECaster Pro... and they literally announced the second one the same day
Hey :) We wanted to use it in the stream with speakers, but just can't get rid of the feedback from the mics. (Rode mics) Also, you can hear our voice in the speakers, which we don't want. Do you have a suggestion for a solution? Is there a setting that we are overlooking? We had a Behringer mixer before, there were no problems. Thank you and best regards
