Every content creator needs a good mixer. So why not get one that’s incredibly powerful, compact, and gives you plenty of bang for your buck? Music Experience is proud to introduce the RodeCaster Duo from RODE. This digital streaming mixer handles seven audio channels and has four physical faders. You get stereo I/O, thanks to two Neutrik combination inputs with low-noise Revolution preamps and stereo outs. Next, onboard APHEX processing and effects ensure that any user delivers a studio-quality sound. This mixer is packed with useful features, too. Six customizable SMART pads trigger sound effects and functions. At the same time, the onboard wireless receiver and Bluetooth connectivity cut down on cabling. Finally, the mixer has two USB-C interfaces, making it compatible with dual-PC setups.
The RodeCaster Duo is equipped with a quad-core audio engine that supplies pro-level processing power. And that’s a good thing. The mixer also features onboard APHEX processing to give your sounds a stunning studio-quality polish. That’s not all, though. You also get a bevy of effects, including some for your voice, sound effects, and more. Regardless of your skill or experience level, the RodeCaster Duo’s onboard processing helps you easily achieve a pro-level sound.
Whether you’re using a stubborn, low-output dynamic mic, a modern condenser, or an instrument, the RodeCaster Duo has enough gain to get the job done. A pair of Neutrik combination inputs allow you to connect any combination of microphones, instruments, and line-level devices. From there, the signal is amplified via two low-noise Revolution preamps. Each pre offers a massive 76dB of gain — way more than enough to drive today’s most popular broadcast microphones. In fact, that much gain is capable of amplifying industry-standard 7-style microphones without in-line boosts and lifters.
RODE really paid attention to everything when designing this mixer. The six SMART pads are fully programmable, putting your most-used sound effects or functions at your fingertips. In addition to the three virtual faders, four physical faders provide instant control over every sound source. Speaking of sound sources, the RodeCaster Duo has a built-in wireless receiver, which allows you to capture your voice with a RODE Wireless GO II or Wireless ME microphone. There’s also Bluetooth connectivity for remote listeners or contributors to call into the show. If you’re looking for an insanely capable digital mixer, look no further than the RODE RodeCaster Duo.
Running a dual-computer setup? You’ll be happy to know that the RodeCaster Duo includes two USB-C interfaces. This elegant solution eliminates the need for complex routing and a mess of cables. For livestreamers, this means you can run the sound from your gaming computer into the mixer via the first USB-C interface. From there, the mixer will transport the finished sound through the second USB-C interface to the computer that handles the livestream. Whether you’re livestreaming, gaming, or creating engaging content, the RodeCaster Duo’s USB-C connections fit into any setup.
