The size of the Rodecaster Pro is comparable to that of a binder, and its setup is almost as simple. It’s when you’re recording live, especially at a remote location, that this portable broadcast production station shines. Verge audio director Andrew Marino, who’s also had experience with the Rodecaster Pro, notes that its built-in effects options are limited (compression is a binary choice of on or off), and he reckons that the Rodecaster is better suited to multiperson live streams than anything else. But podcasts allow you a lot of leeway to finesse a recording in post-production - you can inject musical interludes, rebalance and isolate voices, and do a smattering of refinements to captured audio - which makes some of the Rodecaster Pro’s capabilities superfluous.Īt the same time, it’s not quite as fully featured as a proper studio, so it occupies an uncomfortable sort of middle ground. It’s definitely an upgrade: the internal circuitry of this machine, combined with those $229 Procaster microphones, leads to truly high-fidelity recordings. It’s far too powerful (and expensive) to be considered a logical upgrade from a more basic USB podcasting mic setup. Though it’s marketed to catch the eye of podcasters, the Rodecaster Pro feels like overkill for that task. It’s built to withstand a lot of punishing use, with big, mashable pads, hardy sliders, and robust knobs, but you absolutely will not get the most out of it if you’re using it by yourself. The Rodecaster Pro is one of those rare exceptions. Some gadgets are shareable, such as iPads, but it’s hard to think of many devices that are designed for actual group use. The vast majority of consumer tech is made for one user at a time. So who is this studio-in-a-backpack for? That’s a good question. Without those extras, the Rodecaster Pro costs $599 with them, it’s pushing past $1,000. Just to make the point, the company shipped the review device to me in a customized backpack, which also managed to fit two large Procaster microphones, their hefty stands, and some extremely thick and long XLR cables. It’s an extremely ambitious piece of audio kit. The Rodecaster Pro is meant to be a full podcasting studio in a transportable format: it combines four XLR microphone inputs, Bluetooth and USB connections for mobile devices, four monitoring headphone outputs, and eight programmable pads for playing jingles and sound effects.
Having spent the past few weeks reviewing the Rodecaster Pro, I’d say that wisdom is spot on. As a result, I had grown to associate Rode with pro audio recording even before I’d tried any of its gear for myself, trusting the collective wisdom of the professional content creator crowd. The company makes some extremely popular directional microphones, which I see mounted atop video producers’ cameras with big and bold RØDE lettering adorning their sides.
