FAQs

Q.
Does the RØDECaster Pro II have a TRRS input?
A.

A.

The RØDECaster Pro II comes equipped with multiple digital inputs (wireless and wired) for connecting a smartphone in a number of different ways. For a wireless connection, pair to the RØDECaster Pro II via Bluetooth and assign your Bluetooth input to a channel. For a wired connection, you’ll need to connect via a USB-C cable to the USB 2 input on the back of the RØDECaster Pro II and assign your USB 2 input to its own channel. To connect an iOS device, you will need to use the RØDE SC15 or SC19.

Note: Due to iOS limitations, native phone calls cannot be made on an iPhone or iPad via USB. Use the Bluetooth channel for making calls with your iOS device. Or use another communications app if using USB.

No. The RØDECaster Pro II features ultra-high-gain preamps with 76dB of gain on tap, which is plenty of gain for any microphone, even low output dynamic mics. And the noise floor of the preamps is so low that using a lifter or line booster will actually introduce noise to your signal, so we highly recommend not using one.
A.
The RØDECaster Pro II’s were designed from the ground up specifically for the console. They are ultra-low-noise (-131.5dBV), high-gain (76dB) preamps that rival very expensive high-end boutique designs. They are very clean and transparent, and they eliminate the need for lifters, boosters or any external processing.
A.
The firmware on the RØDECaster Pro II can be updated in a few different ways. You can use RØDE Central to download updates via USB (download RØDE Central here). Alternatively, you can download updates directly via Wi-Fi or Ethernet (ensure your RØDECaster Pro II is connected to the internet to access updates this way). When a new update is available, an icon will appear on the top of the menu screen. Simply tap this icon and follow the prompts to download the firmware.

If you elect to do so, you can share information about your RØDECaster Pro II usage with RØDE. This information is used to plan future firmware updates and do technical troubleshooting. The information shared is split into two types:

Usage statistics – this includes details of channel setup, which channels are active, the on / off status of processing, USB connectivity and recording and multitrack settings; resource statistics – this is technical information about processor load, software performance, sub-system status and so on. All information is anonymous and not linked to any individual user. No identifying information inputted into the unit (including the names and settings of pads, shows, presets, network credentials or any audio recordings of any kind) are ever shared with RØDE. You can elect to opt in or out of analytics sharing during device start-up and at any time via the ‘information’ link in the ‘System’ menu.
