Rodecaster Pro : Good all in one solution

4 years ago

This is a good all in one solution for podcasting or live streaming.

It's very easy to set up and get going.

Positives (for me):

- good mixer

- feels well made

- simple to use

- Rode keep adding features!

Negatives (for me):

- the effects (compressor, noise gate, etc) added a lot of noise

- the headphone output wasn't very good

My use case was connecting an SM7B which is hard to drive, sound was clear without the effects, but once I turned them on there was a lot of aliasing.

I tried it with IEMs (Grado GR10e) and there was way too much noise. I switched to my Beyerdynamic DT 1990s and it felt like there wasn't enough power to drive them properly.

I don't think this would be a huge issue just for podcasting and streaming through unless you are focussed on music (which I am)
