(Review updated June 4, 2023) When it comes to anything technical about the device: if you can't find it on the site, safe to just assume they won't tell you. Sometimes it would be nice to know just a little more about the internals but each time I ask I'll get a generic response about not being able to provide this information. For a technical product this is a bit of a bummer and I hope that changes and they become more open with developers. This includes innocent things like what Bluetooth codecs it supports. They've built this on the hard work of others who contributed to opensource software and Linux but Rode themselves are currently not so eager to do the same. They have many YouTube videos showing the insides and features, but it's all secretly just self-promotion bragging about how revolutionary everything is and how they've started from the ground up. WITH THAT SAID they're one of few companies that actually pick up a phone and talk to you. So while they may not give me the technical details I want, at least they're not completely hidden from view and impossible to reach. The people you can reach by phone have always been friendly. UPDATES AND BETA FIRMWARE This has a lot going for it as an almost standalone unit. The vendor is still releasing updates regularly, and even without the updates it works right out of the box. However I really wish they would be more open about the technical stuff. To get at most of the fun stuff, you'll need to run the BETA firmware they offer. If you run this, they won't even attempt to support you or accept your bug reports. BLUETOOTH The Bluetooth (when connected to mobile) stays connected but after many hours the actual audio portion of it crashes. Because everything like logs are hidden from view you'll never know why. The only way to get audio back is restarting the device. I've tried several Android phones at this point and all the same issue. The "Disconnect Bluetooth" button on the RCP becomes non-responsive. The audio supported by Bluetooth is basic, low quality and has a lot of latency as you would expect when using the cheapest possible Bluetooth hardware. If you plan to use Bluetooth for mobile audio I would just reconnect it at the start of each day and you're likely fine. For me this is annoying because I forget to do this and it's only a matter of time till the connection drops. If you need better audio from a mobile device just connect it directly using the audio inputs. ACCESSORIES Getting your hands on accessories (like the dust cover) is was nearly impossible in Canada except as a special order item or shipping from cross-boarder. Might I suggest B&H (who I believe also might sell on here). SLIDERS Overall the sliders feel great but I think they missed the boat when omitting motorized sliders like other streaming products. They're ahead of others by featuring nice metal components here but regardless there's something magical about seeing them move on their own. NETWORKED: BUT IT'S NOT FOR YOU It's online for whatever reason (firmware updates supposedly needing this 24/7 online access... what?) but there's zero fun you can have with that. You can't control anything remotely, there's no public API, and basically zero information about it. If you ask about it you'll get a canned response. If you want to do anything using their software it'll take place over USB and proprietary software. LINUX SUPPORT As of Ubuntu 23.04 I was able to get both Main and Chat working with Pulse at the same time without needing extra hardware or hacks. I don't know who to thank for this since Rode won't comment, but a huge thank you to whoever solved this!

RØDE RØDECaster Pro II kullanırken mikrofon pre-amplifikatörüne ihtiyacınız yok. En önemli özelliği bu, kesinlikle tavsiye ederim

Solution très complète pour gérer plusieurs micros et sources audio facilement. L’interface est intuitive après un petit temps d’adaptation, et les réglages permettent d’obtenir un son très propre sans être ingénieur du son. Pratique pour les projets plus ambitieux : podcast à plusieurs, interviews, enregistrements réguliers. Matériel pensé pour simplifier la production tout en gardant un rendu professionnel.

Switched from a razer mixer because I kept having issues every time the software updated (do not recommend that product for anybody). This product was perfect for all of my needs, as I have a 2 pc set up for streaming, an XLR MIC, and an Atem Mini Pro which I use as a glorified Capture card for multiple console devices (it can do so much more but it was cheaper for me at the time then setting up multiple capture cards for my games). This allows me to individually control my audio on the computer, such as my music, game volume, and system volume, as well as my ATEM for my gaming consoles, and my microphone. The colours are customizable, and you can even set up voice changers or sound effects with the buttons, and add your own sounds.
