Effortless, Optimized Interface for Podcasters

While any interface is sure to get the job done, why trust your podcast projects to anything other than an interface designed for precisely that? Enter the Focusrite Vocaster One, a USB interface delivering crystal-clear audio with several features onboard to fine-tune your sound to perfection. At first glance, the Vocaster One may seem like any other portable interface; however, deeper inspection reveals several incredible features setting this interface apart from others in its class. On the surface, the Vocaster One boasts a gain knob with over 70dB on tap alongside a volume knob for dialing in perfect monitor and headphone levels. Where the Vocaster One really starts to really shine is with regard to its onboard buttons, with Auto Gain and Enhance functions to bring out the best in every word and a handy Mute button for cutting out pesky sounds before being recorded. Flip around back and you'll encounter several connectivity options, including TRRS for connecting to phones, a TRS input for connecting cameras, and more. Kick your podcast recording quality up more than a few notches with the Focusrite Vocaster One!

Optimize your sound straight from the source

Not only does the Vocaster One make recording podcasts a breeze, but Focusrite loaded this interface with a handy set of buttons tailor-made to give your recordings that studio shine from the source. To start, the Vocaster One supplies more than a whopping 70dB of gain, compatible with a wide range of microphones without the need for a booster. With the Auto Gain function, setting your gain level is a cinch — just push the button, start talking, and Vocaster One will handle the rest! The Enhance function offers three different podcaster-focused presets, each tailor-made to bring out more of the natural qualities of your voice. Whenever unwanted noises are creeping into the signal, a handy Mute button silences all sound sources in an instant, ensuring audiences can focus on your content without distractions.

Made for more than just mics

One of the Vocaster One's calling cards that perked up the ears of Sweetwater's podcasters and recording experts is the numerous connectivity options on board. Not only do you get the standard XLR input for a microphone, but TRRS connectivity also allows you to connect phones and other compatible devices directly to the Vocaster One to record conversations, songs, and more. Working with camera audio? Simply connect your camera to the Vocaster One via a single TRS cable to optimize your sound before hitting the editing stage. And with the Stereo Loopback function, grabbing audio from your computer for intros and outros is easier than ever.

Reviews

Great Little Interface
My wife needed a simple audio interface for her podcast and her main request was that it sounded good and was stupid simple to use. This unit definitely checks those boxes. The sound quality is what you'd come to expect from focusrite and the included "sweetening" software adds a pleasant amount of processing with the click of a button. Setup is easy and there's only a few buttons, so it's hard to get overwhelmed with its build quality is quite good for the $$ and the gain knob has some nice weight to it. This product is a NO BRAINER if you need a simple interface that sounds great. Highly recommend.
Does What It's Supposed to Do
This is bus powered, so no power cable. It has enough gain to power the SM7b properly (especially if you add a line booster).

Great interface if you want simplicity and only one microphone.

Best interface for podcasting!
This is the best interface for podcasting!I'm using it with the audio-technica BPHS1 broadcast stereo headset with dynamic boom microphone, and it sounds awesome!! in fact, it is now my default audio interface for all future podcasts. A big shoutout goes to Dan Hughley, senior marketing manager of Focusrite for sending it for free on my 31st birthday. my podcast studio is now complete.

If you're like a lot of the recording engineers here at Sweetwater, then you probably grew up with stories of the legendary Focusrite Forte console and its ISA preamps. Our relationship with Focusrite is extremely tight, and we regularly enjoy everything from the inside scoop on new gear to fish and chips when they stop by Sweetwater. While Focusrite still produces the classic analog preamps, EQs, and compressors we love, our Sales Engineers are just as excited to introduce our customers to their remarkable RedNet network audio platform, and we have worked with Focusrite to outfit studios, churches, venues, and schools with this awesome technology in action. From everyday audio interfaces to full system designs, if you want Focusrite gear, Sweetwater has you covered.
