Content creation made easy

Typically, creating high-quality audio content as part of a broadcast or stream requires in-depth know-how and a wide range of different pieces of equipment. The Rode RodeCaster Duo distills all the knowledge and feedback taken from the past half-decade into a one-stop-shop solution. Intuitive and easy to use, freely customisable and most importantly, immaculate sounding, the RodeCaster Duolets you get up and running with excellent audio quality in seconds.

Powered by quad-core processing technology, the power inside the RodeCaster Duo is simply unrivalled. Add to this the beautiful onboard 5.5" touchscreen monitor, tactile navigation, RGB colouring throughout and a simple and intuitive interface, even those with less advanced knowledge will be able to achieve their dreams of creating content. Capture professional sound quickly using the professionally-designed VoxLab presets or dial in your own sound using the onboard Aphex processors.

From setting up a microphone to programming SMART pads, each feature simply presents itself, avoiding the need for any deep menu-diving, serving to maximise your creativity. Whether you're streaming, podcasting or music-making, the RodeCaster Duo makes it easy.

Join the Revolution

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 Duo. 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 Duo 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.

Studio-grade effects onboard

Pairing with the exceptional preamps, RodeCaster Duo 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 Duo, the Aphex built-in processors offer authentic emulations of classic studio hardware units. Included with Rode RodeCaster Duo 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.
