RODE RODECaster Duo Podcasting Kit with PodMic, Studio Boom Arm, Headphones, and Cable

Designed to elevate your podcasting, and your streaming, music-making, and content creation, the black RODECaster Duo from RODE is a compact and powerful all-in-one audio production solution that delivers all the same revered features and versatility of the RODECaster Pro II in a smaller, more portable form factor. Perfect for those who require fewer audio inputs and a more travel-friendly design, the RODECaster Duo sacrifices none of the qualities or functionalities of its larger sibling, sporting the same high-powered quad-core audio engine, high-gain, low-noise Revolution preamps, APHEX audio processing, and flexible customization.

The RODECaster Duo features two XLR-1/4" combo inputs for mic- or line-level signals, one stereo pair line output for speakers, two headphone outputs, a microSD card reader for internal multitrack recording, two USB-C host connections, and an ethernet network terminal for hardware or software integrations. Just like the RCPII, you also get intuitive hands on control, such as four assignable mixer faders, six colorful customizable SMART pads for audio, FX, and MIDI triggering, a bright colorful touchscreen, and plenty of buttons and knobs to create engaging content of almost any kind. The RODECaster Duo includes Bluetooth technology and integrated wireless microphone receivers for onboard compatibility with the RODE Wireless GO II and Wireless ME, allowing you to handle just about any usage scenario and any workflow, anywhere.

Podcasters looking for the right mic to bring professional-quality sound to their productions on YouTube, FaceBook, Twitch, and elsewhere have a great option with the black PodMic from Rode. This cost-effective, yet stylish, end-address dynamic XLR microphone is specifically tuned for speech and broadcast. Tailor-made for use with the RODECaster Pro podcast production studio and PSA1 broadcast arm, it can also be plugged into a wide range of pro-audio gear to deliver broadcast-quality sound.

This microphone is part of the Fotohaus Klinger Virtual Mic Locker, an online tool to help our valued customers determine the sonic differences between popular microphones for podcasting and voice over work. Each microphone was recorded using a Grace Design M103 preamp into a Presonus Quantum 2626 interface.

Most podcasts happen in bedrooms, home studios, or offices with less than perfect acoustics and noises coming from the outside. The PodMic features a dynamic capsule with a tight cardioid polar pattern, great for picking up the speaker while reducing unwanted sounds that are further away or off to the sides.

Solid-brass construction with a hard-wearing matte-black ceramic finish ensures that the PodMic will continue to deliver the same level of performance over the years, while still looking great.

The PodMic's internal pop filter and double-mesh housing work to effectively reduce distracting breath and plosive noises (as in s, p, and b sounds) without the need for an unsightly external pop filter.

The internal shockmount helps to isolate the PodMic from handling noise and vibrations when you are adjusting the mic or if there's a bump or knock on the table. The integrated swing mount that holds the mic further insulates it from low-frequency noises, which could ruin your audio.
