Mixer
The RØDECaster Duo has seven freely assignable input channels, four of which have long 100 mm faders as well as select, mute and solo buttons. The remaining three input channels are virtual and are controlled via the touchscreen. The
following signal sources can be assigned to the channels: the rear Neutrik combo jacks (XLR/jack), the front 3.5 mm TRRS jack (headset), RØDE Wireless, Bluetooth®, USB1, USB2 and SMART Pad Audio
.Thetwo combo jacks can be connected to (XLR) or electric guitar or line sources (jack). 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, the required 48 volt phantom power can be added
.
Proven mixer setups can be saved with all settings as a "show" and restored as needed at the touch of a button.
Wireless
Thanks to wideband Bluetooth®, music and speech are received in first-class sound quality; conversely, signal output via an external Bluetooth speaker is also possible. A wireless receiver is also built in, allowing a RØDE Wireless II or Wireless ME transmitter module to radio directly into the RØDECaster Duo, and firmware updates can be conveniently performed via WLAN.
