Just like the RCPII, you also get intuitive hands on control, such as four assignable mixer faders, six colorful customizable SMART pads for audio, FX, and MIDI triggering, a bright colorful touchscreen, and plenty of buttons and knobs to create engaging content of almost any kind. The RODECaster Duo includes Bluetooth technology and integrated wireless microphone receivers for onboard compatibility with the RODE Wireless GO II and Wireless ME, allowing you to handle just about any usage scenario and any workflow, anywhere.

Use presets, save your own presets, and load them at any time to immediately call up your favorite settings.

Outfit your home or pro studio with the Auray BA-XE4, a sturdy, two-section broacast boom arm that supports broadcast-style microphones up to 3.5 lb. With its integrated 10' XLR cable and virtually noiseless operation, this boom arm will come in handy for podcasting or radio-style broadcasting.
The BA-XE4 sports a spring design engineered to provide maximal support to microphones. It provides plenty of range for positioning. Use the standard 5/8"-27 mic mount to acommodate most shockmounts and mic clips, and reposition the angle of the mount at will. When you've got it just right, you can lock it in place with the locking knob.
In addition to the included XLR cable, the BA-XE4 ships with two types of clamps. Use the C-clamp for temporary installations, or use the tabletop flange mount for a permanent installation on a broadcast station or podium.

RODE RODECaster DUO Reviews
BIG features-small package
I needed a smaller mixer to handle new voice work and potentially handle a podcast. The RODEcaster Duo's met every need so far. The unit offers features found in much bigger mixers but at an affordable price and a size that doesn't eat up a lot of space. The flexibility, customization ability, bluetooth functions, computer interface, broadcast quality connections and other built-ins give this four-channel unit ALL the basics and then some. Whether just getting started or like me, a 50+ year pro, RODE has upped the game with the Duo.
Pretty Incredible
I bought this as N upgrade to my old Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, and while I have had it a few weeks, I’m still getting to know the unit. I’m a little overwhelmed with how much it can do, and I haven’t explored much. But I use an EV RE20, and the presets have been amazing. It has all the power I could ask for - without a Fethead - and the only problems I’ve run into are user error/inexperience. I love this Rodecaster Duo, though. I look forward to learning more about what it can do, as I embark on my YouTube and Kick hobbies.
