Unleash Your Creativity

Every content creator needs a good mixer. So why not get one that’s incredibly powerful, compact, and gives you plenty of bang for your buck? Sweetwater is proud to introduce the RodeCaster Duo from RODE. This digital streaming mixer handles seven audio channels and has four physical faders. You get stereo I/O, thanks to two Neutrik combination inputs with low-noise Revolution preamps and stereo outs. Next, onboard APHEX processing and effects ensure that any user delivers a studio-quality sound. This mixer is packed with useful features, too. Six customizable SMART pads trigger sound effects and functions. At the same time, the onboard wireless receiver and Bluetooth connectivity cut down on cabling. Finally, the mixer has two USB-C interfaces, making it compatible with dual-PC setups.

Onboard APHEX processing and effects

The RodeCaster Duo is equipped with a quad-core audio engine that supplies pro-level processing power. And that’s a good thing. The mixer also features onboard APHEX processing to give your sounds a stunning studio-quality polish. That’s not all, though. You also get a bevy of effects, including some for your voice, sound effects, and more. Regardless of your skill or experience level, the RodeCaster Duo’s onboard processing helps you easily achieve a pro-level sound.

Buckets of gain on tap

Whether you’re using a stubborn, low-output dynamic mic, a modern condenser, or an instrument, the RodeCaster Duo has enough gain to get the job done. A pair of Neutrik combination inputs allow you to connect any combination of microphones, instruments, and line-level devices. From there, the signal is amplified via two low-noise Revolution preamps. Each pre offers a massive 76dB of gain — way more than enough to drive today’s most popular broadcast microphones. In fact, that much gain is capable of amplifying industry-standard 7-style microphones without in-line boosts and lifters.

Packed with useful features

RODE really paid attention to everything when designing this mixer. The six SMART pads are fully programmable, putting your most-used sound effects or functions at your fingertips. In addition to the three virtual faders, four physical faders provide instant control over every sound source. Speaking of sound sources, the RodeCaster Duo has a built-in wireless receiver, which allows you to capture your voice with a RODE Wireless GO II or Wireless ME microphone. There’s also Bluetooth connectivity for remote listeners or contributors to call into the show. If you’re looking for an insanely capable digital mixer, look no further than the RODE RodeCaster Duo.

Dual USB-C interfaces for any setup

Running a dual-computer setup? You’ll be happy to know that the RodeCaster Duo includes two USB-C interfaces. This elegant solution eliminates the need for complex routing and a mess of cables. For livestreamers, this means you can run the sound from your gaming computer into the mixer via the first USB-C interface. From there, the mixer will transport the finished sound through the second USB-C interface to the computer that handles the livestream. Whether you’re livestreaming, gaming, or creating engaging content, the RodeCaster Duo’s USB-C connections fit into any setup.

Finally!

After a 50 year career in broadcasting, podcasting and all things audio, I've struggled with mix minus, sometimes weak/noisy preamps, not enough headphone amps, excessive patching and other hassles.

Now along comes this little gem -- easy to set-up, fast to use and surprisingly clean, clean audio. All in a sweet little footprint. I would recommend to students and jaded pros alike. For simple podcasts, voiceovers and other light duties, it's all that you'll need -- and then some.
Music background: National Broadcast Production, Interviewing, Voiceover, Editing.

As an owner of the RodeCaster Pro II, this is EXACTLY what the Dr. ordered.

Smaller is sometimes better. In this case, it could not be more true. I LOVE the RodeCaster Pro II, but it's more than I needed regarding channels and overall size.

The Duo is absolutely everything I need, and in the compact form factor, I always wished the Pro II was as it hung off my desk.

An absolute gem as it's exactly as functional as its big brother. 100% SOLID and a must-have for those like me.
Music background: LIfelong DJ and Abelton enthusiast since V4.

Great sound!!

Love the fact that I can use my sm7b without having to fool with a cloud lifter. The sound is crystal clear. The RCD is a quality piece of equipment! Sweetwater service was, as always, superb!
Rated 5/5

Just Wow!

The Rodecaster Duo couldn't fit my needs better. I'm so glad I purchased this. The built-in effects and presets are amazing and completely programmable. I've all but eliminated the need to add plugin effects in my DAW. The preamps are efficient and low noise and drive my SM7B mics without the need for an inline Cloudlifter. The included preset for my NT1 mics makes them sound even better than they do out of the box. Thank you RØDE for this and thank you Sweetwater for such a great buying experience!
Rated 5/5

Best soundboard I've had to date.

The title says it in a nutshell. This is a compact, vicious little soundboard that could. It's perfect for my small studio office, and has all that I need for my small podcast.
