Pro Audio News: Intelligently made for more than podcasting, RØDE’s RØDECaster Pro II audio production studio expands on the success of the original with significant upgrades

NEW YORK, May 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — B&H is pleased to announce the Rode RCP2 RØDECaster Pro II, an integrated audio production studio that expands on the success of its podcast-focused predecessor with serious enhancements in sound, connectivity, and adaptability, pushing its feature set into attractive territory for live streamers, gamers, and musically inclined content creators. This all-in-one solution makes “advanced” effortless, with fluid workflows via a large touchscreen and tactile controls, studio-quality onboard processing, multitrack recording and mixing, assignable sound pads, and extensive customization. Produce and mix on the fly in just moments with up to four microphones, music, prerecorded segments, and remote guests on calls all going on at once.

Version II Upgrades

Obviously, the big question is, “What’s the big deal with version II?” Here are the top five highlights:

Premium boutique-class preamps with a ground-up redesign, tons of gain, and mic/line/instrument inputsA customizable mixer with RGB color coding and increased sonic powerExtensively programmable SMART pads for launching sounds, shows, mixer actions, and moreiOS-ready dual USB Type-C ports to connect multiple computers or mobile devicesAdvanced high-quality Bluetooth input/output, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet

Those and other enhancements are presented in the same tabletop form factor as the original RØDECaster Pro II, but now with a slightly smaller footprint.

4 High-End, High-Gain Preamps

Built to hold their ground with pricey, boutique microphone preamplifiers, the RØDECaster Pro II’s new-to-the-world Revolution Preamps deliver classy transparency and detail with ultra-low noise (just -131.5 dBV) and incredible gain up to 76 dB, which enables robust recording levels, even for low-output dynamic mics—no mic boosters, lifters, or normalization needed.

Pro-grade Neutrik XLR-1/4″ combo jacks provide connection points for microphones (+48V phantom power is available for condenser mics), line-level sources like mixers and rack equipment, or instruments such as electric guitar and bass. Plus, pairs of analog input channels can be linked for easy recording of stereo mic setups or stereo outputs from synthesizers, DJ mixers, or outboard gear.

Studio-Quality Processing and Effects

Give your productions the polish and impact they need with authentic emulations of classic APHEX hardware processors—Aural Exciter elevates clarity and sheen, Big Bottom adds warm and deep low-frequency punch, and Compellor glues it all together with compression/leveling—as well as other widely used processors, including reverb, delay, pitch shifter, equalizer, high-pass filter, noise gate, de-esser, robot effects, and more.

Use the VoxLab editor to manipulate parameters quickly on several processors via three intuitive controls or access the advanced editor (on screen or with RØDE Central on a computer) for intricate editing. Use pre-loaded presets, save your own, and load them at any time to call up your favorite settings immediately. Thanks to the internal 1.5 GHz quad-core audio engine, the RØDECaster boasts impressive processing power and significant potential for future updates. 

8 Programmable SMART Pads

In place of the original model’s sound pads, the RØDECaster Pro II has programmable SMART pads. Each SMART pad can trigger audio files such as music or sound bites, activate special effects, send MIDI commands to software or hardware, or execute mixer functions like fades, music ducking, and bleeping.

Bank switching buttons beneath the pads allow easy access to eight banks for a total of 64 unique actions. Making the pads even better is the color-selectable pad illumination, a convenient way to remember which effect is on which pad.

Customizable Multichannel Color-Coded Mixer

The 9-channel mixer features six channels outfitted with full-size, broadcast-quality physical faders and three virtual channels. Physical faders and virtual channels are freely assignable to the four analog inputs, USB and Bluetooth interfaces, and SMART pads, and there is the option to expand via digital hosting and hardware integrations in future updates. Each channel on the RØDECaster Pro II offers a pan control, mute button, and listen button (pre- or after-fader solo). With channel-specific color coding, you’re assured fast identification of your sources.

Stereo/Multitrack Recording and USB Audio

Record stereo or fully separated individual multitrack files (in uncompressed WAV format for maximum audio quality or MP3 format to save storage space and extend recording time) to a microSD card or USB storage such as an external drive. Alternatively or simultaneously, you can use the RØDECaster Pro II as a high-quality USB audio interface to stream/record to a computer. Staying in line with the industry-standard audio resolution for video production, the RØDECaster Pro II runs at 24-bit / 48 kHz.

Monitoring for All

Four high-powered headphone outputs with 1/4″ jacks provide clear personal monitoring for the host and up to three guests while separate, color-coded volume controls let all participants easily control their own headphone levels. Connect a pair of active speakers to the 1/4″ line outputs if you need to amplify your content to a live audience, or go wireless and monitor through a Bluetooth speaker to check the mix on an alternate system.

Podcast-Friendly Specialties

The inclusion of “producer talkback mode” lets you communicate with guests without affecting the recording, and mix-minus on the Bluetooth and USB channels prevents the person on the other end of the call from hearing a distracting echo. Equipped with advanced Bluetooth connectivity, the RØDECaster Pro II can be used for ultra-high-quality phone call integration, pristine audio streaming, convenient wireless monitoring, and more.

Something that truly shocked me about the RØDECaster Pro II was the presence of not one, but two USB Type-C ports, allowing two computers or mobile devices to be connected simultaneously and unlocking great options for everything from remote podcasting to complex streaming configurations. These USB connections are MFi-certified for perfect integration with iPads and other iOS devices, and they support bidirectional MIDI communication to play nice with DAWs and streaming software.

Fast Workflow

As an ideal way to switch instantly between types of productions such as podcasts, livestreams, and game commentary, the Rode RØDECaster Pro II lets you save multiple “Shows” containing all the unit’s settings. Tailored presets for RØDE microphones (like the PodMic) and other popular models are on tap to help you get great sounds in a hurry. Also contributing to the RØDECaster’s efficiency is the large 5.5″ color touchscreen with haptic feedback and automatic brightness adjustment. Where the original model’s screen was flat, this one is tilted up for optimal viewing. Next to the touchscreen, a rotary encoder is placed for effective navigation and control. 

Additional Features

Considering the RØDECaster Pro II’s two powering methods—via the included AC adapter or through USB Type-C PD (30W), it is equally ready to live in your home studio or join you as you venture out into the world. In either case, the optional RØDECover II, a tough polycarbonate cover that guards it against debris, dust, and spills, is available to protect the RØDECaster Pro II. Prepped for global use, the unit is programmed with 10 languages, including English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Hindi.

Providing high-speed communication with computers and other devices, the Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections (new to the version II model) offer functionality for updating firmware, integrating software and hardware, and more. Firmware updates are the key to the continued evolution of the RØDECaster Pro II, and RØDE has plenty of plans for new firmware and additional hardware accessories, like colored cables, carry bags, and mounting options.

Too Good to Resist

Though even minor improvements to the previous generation RØDECaster Pro would have made it a convincing choice, the RØDECaster Pro II’s substantial upgrades render it too tempting to pass up.

137th Canton Fair Teaser: Discover the Marvel of PHOMI econiclay Display(eDisplay) –Where Walls Become 4K Screens

Published

on

By

LONDON, April 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In the fast-paced world of digital signage and architectural innovation, staying ahead of the curve is crucial. PHOMI’s econiclay Display(eDisplay) is engineered to redefine how we interact with space.

The Science Behind the Magic

PHOMI eDisplay has been honored with the 76th Nuremberg International Invention Gold Award. Through state-of-the-art technology, a specific optical channel network is constructed at the microscopic level, allowing the light generated by optoelectronic materials to propagate along a predetermined path and ultimately exit through specific areas of the covering material, forming a clear and coherent video signal output.

The PHOMI eDisplay is derived from econiclay. Its essential raw materials are sourced from inorganic solid waste (e.g., urban construction waste, soil, stone/ceramic factory scraps, non-metallic tailings). This turns waste into treasure, fostering sustainability.

Seamless Texture-Display Fusion 

Imagine stone, wood, or brick facades instantly transforming into vibrant 4K displays with the flip of a switch—and disappearing completely when powered off. Indoors, walls, ceilings, and floors become dynamic canvases, dissolving boundaries between architecture and digital art. PHOMI eDisplay integrates flawlessly with existing surfaces, eliminating bulky external screens for a clean, uninterrupted aesthetic. The PHOMI eDisplay units are integrated into the building material itself, creating a zero-profile design. From luxury retail spaces and corporate lobbies to smart homes, eDisplay delivers premium aesthetics without sacrificing performance.

Sustainability Redefined

When combined with PHOMI’s eBIPV (invented by PHOMI HOLDING) curtain walls, eDisplay becomes a powerhouse of efficiency. Together, they slash external power consumption by up to 80%, offering a “display-generation-storage” ecosystem that benefits both the planet and your profitability.

Join the Future of Display Technology 

For dealers and distributors, eDisplay isn’t just a product to sell—it’s a narrative to champion. A story of innovation, sustainability, and boundless potential. By partnering with PHOMI HOLDING, you’re not merely offering a display solution—you’re empowering clients to craft spaces that captivate, connect, and endure.

Ready to revolutionize your portfolio? Contact PHOMI HOLDING at marketing@phomi.com today and discover how eDisplay can transform your business—and the world—one pixel at a time.
