Rode RODECaster Pro II Integrated Audio Production Studio with 6 Faders, APHEX DSP, and Wireless Receiver

Rode RODECaster Pro II: The Complete Broadcast-Quality Production Studio in One Console

The RODECaster Pro II is what happens when Rode condenses an entire professional broadcast studio into a desktop console. Nine channels, six broadcast-quality physical faders, three virtual faders, four Neutrik combo inputs, a quad-core audio engine, and the full APHEX DSP suite — all integrated into one piece of gear that handles every input, every effect, every routing decision, every recording, and every stream simultaneously. A solo voice-over artist, a four-host podcast crew, a live streamer running game audio plus chat plus Bluetooth phone calls, and a musician recording vocals over a DI'd guitar — every one of them gets a console built around their workflow. This is the production hub that replaces a mixer, an interface, a processor chain, a recorder, and a soundpad in one purchase.

Revolution Preamps Mean No Inline Booster, No Lifter, No Compromise

The Revolution Preamps were designed from the ground up for the RODECaster Pro II — -131.5 dBV EIN with 76 dB of gain. That is enough headroom to drive a Shure broadcast dynamic mic, a Rode PodMic, a Zoom ZDM-1, an Electro-Voice broadcast dynamic, or any other low-output dynamic capsule clean to the meter without an external boost. Rode's official guidance is direct: do not use an inline booster with the RCPII. The noise floor of the preamps is so low that an inline preamp would introduce noise instead of help. For condenser mics, the 48 V phantom power is on every channel. For instruments, the combo jacks accept 1-4-inch high-impedance directly. One console, every signal source.

APHEX DSP Brings Broadcast Processing to Every Channel

The APHEX suite is the same suite of authentic emulations Rode licensed from one of the most respected names in professional audio. Aural Exciter brings air and presence to vocals. Big Bottom thickens the low end without muddying the mix. The Compellor master compressor / leveler delivers broadcast-grade dynamic control on the master bus. Every channel gets a studio-quality compressor, noise gate, high-pass filter, de-esser, and three-band equalizer. VoxLab presets let a first-time host dial in a professional sound in under a minute — the advanced editor lets a veteran engineer tweak every parameter for hours. The DSP is real, baked-in studio processing — not a software plugin that has to be re-licensed every year.

SMART Pads Replace a Soundpad, a Macro Controller, and a Stream Deck

The eight programmable SMART pads across eight banks add up to 64 unique on-demand actions. A pad can fire a music bed. A pad can apply pitch FX or robot FX on the fly. A pad can send a MIDI command to a DAW or to OBS. A pad can fade a channel in, fade it out, duck the music when a host speaks, or trigger a bleep on a swear word. Every pad is fully customizable per show, and the bank switching buttons rotate through eight contexts so a podcaster, a streamer, and a musician can each have a personalized layout that loads with their show preset.

Wireless GO II, Wireless ME, Wireless PRO — Receive Directly Onboard

The RCPII has a built-in wireless receiver. Pair up to two Rode Series IV transmitters — Wireless GO II, Wireless ME, or Wireless PRO — directly into onboard channels with no external receiver, no aux cable, no additional power. A roaming host with a clip-on transmitter walks the room, takes a question from a guest, returns to their seat at the console, and the signal is already on the bus. This is the workflow that replaces a separate stage box for live-streamed events, in-person interviews, and hybrid shoots.

Rode CallMe, Dual USB-C, Bluetooth, microSD — Every Connection a Show Needs

Rode CallMe brings remote guests in over Wi-Fi or Ethernet with ultra-low latency and high-fidelity audio. The two USB-C ports run two computers (or one computer and one iOS device) simultaneously — record to a DAW on machine one, broadcast on OBS on machine two. The Bluetooth channel records broadcast-quality phone calls and streams audio from a phone or tablet. The microSD card slot records standalone multitrack stems with each channel on its own track. Four high-power headphone outputs let four hosts monitor independently. Balanced 1-4-inch stereo line outputs feed studio monitors. The complete signal chain — capture, processing, recording, monitoring, streaming, remote guests — lives on one console.

Built for the Four-Host Podcast, the Solo Streamer, and the Musician Behind the Mic

A first-time podcaster picks up the RODECaster Pro II because it replaces an interface, a mixer, a Cloudlifter, a soundpad, and a recorder in one purchase — and the VoxLab presets get them on air in minutes. An upgrader leaves a basic two-channel interface behind because the Revolution Preamps, the APHEX DSP, and the four mic inputs let them grow from solo to four hosts without changing gear. A comparison shopper looks at the dual USB-C, the Bluetooth, the wireless receiver, the Rode CallMe support, the microSD multitrack, the 64 SMART pads, and the 5.5-inch HD touchscreen and stops looking — there is no other console in this format that combines all of them. Plug in. Hit record. Go on air.
