Rode Streamer X

Rode Streamer X

Video Capture Card and Audio Interface

With the 15 cm wide and 380 g heavy Streamer X you get a professional video capture card and a high-end audio interface combined in one device with two knobs, four buttons, one switch plus four SMART pads for triggering sounds and other functions.

The Streamer X offers up to 4K/30 recording, 4K/60 passthrough and supports VRR (Variable Refresh Rate). Two independent USB-C ports allow for a true dual-PC setup. The built-in audio interface has inputs for microphone (XLR) or electric guitar (jack), or for a headset (3.5mm TRRS, CTIA pinout).

A

wireless receiver is also built in; you can radio directly into the Streamer X from a RØDE Wireless II or Wireless ME transmitter module. On the rear panel of the Streamer X is a 6.35 mm headphone jack, which outputs the microphone signal latency-free (direct monitoring). The

ultra-low noise high-gain preamp (up to 76 dB preamplification) delivers a crystal-clear audio signal - even with insensitive, dynamic speaker microphones. For condenser microphones, 48 volt phantom power can be added.

Thanks to the integrated DSP, the microphone signal can still be refined with high-pass filter, de-esser, noise gate, compressor, EQ and Aphex Exciter, as well as arranged in the stereo panorama (Pan L/R). The desired DSP settings can be made via the free RØDE Central configuration software. Once done, the selected settings are retained in the Streamer X.

On the hardware side, the Streamer X has two large switching pots, two MUTE pads and four programmable SMART pads with two bank change buttons. With the left switching potentiometer you determine the preamplification (knob) and the desired audio source (push button). With the right switch pot you determine the headphone volume (knob) and can mute the headphones (push button).

The

two MUTE pads below the knobs allow general on/off switching of the audio source (left pad) or video source (right pad).

The four programmable SMART pads on the right are used to trigger sounds, voice FX (reverb, echo, megaphone, robot, disguise and pitch shifter), MIDI commands and other functions, the two bank change buttons below them allow access to four additional commands

. The

SMART pads can be assigned with custom audio files via RØDE Central software, and the Streamer X provides 2 GB of internal storage for this purpose. A

3/8" thread is embedded in the bottom of the Streamer X to allow it to be mounted on a tripod or microphone boom if required. The scope of delivery includes a USB power supply, an IEC power cord and a certified Hi-Speed USB cable (2 m)
