Getting Started With RØDE X
Congratulations on purchasing a RØDE X product! On this page we’ll walk you through how to quickly get set up with your new device so you can start making incredible content right away.
Streamer X
Getting Connected
Step 1: You can either power the Streamer X from your computer using the included SuperSpeed USB-C cable connected to USB 1, or you can use the included power supply connected to the Streamer X’s dedicated power input.
Step 2: Next, connect your HDMI source device (like your console or camera) into the HDMI IN port and connect your monitor or TV to HDMI THRU. Be sure that your source device can provide – and is set to output – one of the compatible resolution and framerate settings.
Step 3: Connect your XLR, headset or wireless microphone and select your input type by pressing the left encoder knob. You can adjust the input gain by turning this encoder.
Step 4: Connect headphones (if you’re not using a headset) and adjust your monitoring level with the right encoder. You can press this encoder to quickly mute your headphones.
Step 5: Download RØDE Central to configure your Streamer X and access its processing, effects and SMART pad customisation. See below for more information.
Configuring with RØDE Central
You can set up your Streamer X exactly the way you need it using our simple-to-use RØDE Central control software. This allows you to configure powerful effects and processing for your input audio, fine control over your headphone and stream mix levels and customise the SMART pads.
