Rode Rodecaster Pro

High quality, slight learning curve

Feels and works wonderfully - the integrated recording and production features take a while to get the hang of, especially when you intend to do further editing and production, as well as optimizing the profiles for each mic you are using. Features like bluetooth and USB connections to other devices work very smoothly, and control over channels, volumes, master output and individual headphone outpouts are very simple and easy to use.

I highly recommend

One device, multiple uses. Recording podcasts has never been easier

Must have od every podcaster

I invite up to three guests and it's perfect. Works without any DAW but I connect it with Reaper and each channell is recorded separately. I do live and even use it for Zoom videocalls. Like a small broadcast studio at home.

Excellent build quality with premium feel, but has major workflow flaws

Good build quality. Premium feel and looks.

Limited input and outputs frustrate your workflow.

The pres arn't done have enough clean gain and if they had combi XLR/Line in for a decent pre amp would be much better and more flexible. Monitor outs are very noisy.

Micro SD a pain, should be usb or SD.

No talkback feature and screen is placed to high so you always have to look over the top of the console.

Rode firmware updates are good.

Rodecaster Pro

Great device as an alternative to GO XLR . As it doesn’t rely on software on a computer to run.

Absolutely love the rodecaster since having it. Love the fact it has usb loopback so I can record my computer sound and control volume.

I am using this in my gaming setup to control my sm7b microphone, and headphones and speakers. This device is also great if your a lazy gamer, and you don’t have to take off your headphones to answer the phone , simply when you get a phone call , put the Bluetooth fader up and you can use your XLR microphone and headphones to use your phone

Useful device that generally is pretty good...

I bought this for streaming on YT and as a newcomer to that aspect initially the device seemed not to offer much other than what is basically a simple mixer.

But of course that's far from the truth. Once you get a bit more familiar with it, the advantages of those jingle buttons whether you use the preloaded stuff or create your own adds an air of professionalism to the show... and the hooking up of a cell phone for incoming calls is really cool.

I also bought a Rode microphone but was a little disappointed with the volume levels - even though the Podcaster is a Rode product too... and a bit noisy to get decent output. Ultimately to fix that I bought one of those Clark-Technic mic boosters to fix the levels of that - and frankly it was surprising that I had to do that... especially as both devices were seemingly designed to work with each other - bear that in mind.

I like to see the software upgrades from time to time and that's useful as they often add extra features... and I also liked the MicroSD card recording too for over dubbing if necessary in production later.

If you consider the Podcaster overall and its features against any competition then this unit wins for most of the comparable other devices out there... so I went with the leader in this price range... the Podcaster.

Recommended.

Rodecaster pro

I was in need of a simple solution to record a community radio show. Key features needed to be great sound quality and very simple to use.

I can say that the RCP has exceeded my expectations. It's a brilliant bit of kit, robust and transportable. It interacts well with my computer and transfer of great quality audio files is straightforward. I can't find anything else on the market that does the job as well, for the price point it is good value and even looks good with cable management at the rear.

Rode Rodecaster pro rocks

Love this product just what i needed for my sports broadcast.

can't go wrong with the quality of sound and the reliability.

Thanks to Rode Rodecaster it put my mind as ease

kind regards Rafael Evans

A MUST HAVE FOR BROADCASTERS.

I HAVE BEEN USING THIS UNIQUE DEVICE FOR BROADCASTING MY RADIO SHOWS AND I CANNOT RATE IT HIGHLY ENOUGH.

IT HAS EVERYTHING YOU COULD EVER NEED FOR YOU TO PRODUCE A PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTION.

THE SIMPLICITY OF ITS USE IS KEY HERE AND I HAVE WORKED WITH SYSTEMS FAR MORE EXPENSIVE AND I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT THE RODECASTER PRO IS ON A PAR IF NOT BETTER THAN MOST OF THE OTHERS.

Advanced feautures and easy to use

Easy to get started and all the feautres you can ask for at this price points. Even though I haven't you can produce entire podcasts during the recording without post production thanks to the diverse inputs and sounds pads.
