CEntrance CourtCaster Overview

Mobile Audio Interface for Conducting Interviews
Upgrade your mobile interview game with the CourtCaster from CEntrance, a portable three-way SD recorder, audio interface, and professional interview wizard that allows you to record audio from online, over the phone, and with up to two mics, all at once. Ideal for court reporters, podcasts, and ENG, this extremely versatile recording device lets you capture pristine, low-noise audio regardless of the source.
The CourtCaster sports two XLR inputs with newly improved Jasmine mic preamps for up to 65 dB of noise-free gain with any kind of mic, plus extra I/O including 3.5mm aux and line inputs, a dedicated mix-minus phone input with phone patch and mono blend control, and a powerful headphone output with AmpExtreme technology. The unit is powered entirely from USB power for portability and a USB-C interface supporting up to 192 kHz sampling is included. The CourtCaster is packed with an exhaustive list of useful technologies, such as a 130 Hz high-pass filter, a -46 dB pad for DSLRs, and selectable phantom power. The CourtCaster includes a USB-C cable.
Discrete Mic Preamps
Sound quality starts with the Mic preamps. The improved version of the acclaimed Jasmine Mic Preamp features a custom, discrete transistor differential input stage. 65 dB of clean, low-noise gain makes it easy to use any condenser or dynamic microphone, including the SM7B, RE20, and more.
Dual Optical Limiters
To help better control recording levels, CourtCaster features independent, soft-knee optical limiters for both Host and Guest, for a truly professional sound. Analog photovoltaic limiters are superior to their digital counterparts, as they can subtly catch the audio peaks early, preventing nasty digital clipping.
Mix-Minus for Call Ins
CourtCaster lets you record phone conversations with the highest sound quality. It includes a technology called mix-minus, used to prevent annoying audio feedback from traveling back to the caller through the phone line.

Just connect your phone, and dial up your guest. They will hear you loud and clear.

Convenient Mono Blend
Interviewing locally and streaming your calls? No problem. CourtCaster's mono blend knob (Insta-MONO) can combine both input channels, so that your online audience can hear both participants. Even stereo music or sound effects on Aux 3/4 can be mixed down to mono, if needed.
The Ultimate Mobile Recorder
CourtCaster is small and easy to use. It takes power from USB-C chargers or power banks, which are available everywhere. CEntrance designed it to offer reliable service in the field.

The case is made from lightweight aluminum and the tactile controls make adjustments quick and easy. The built-in SD recorder, combined with CEntrance's optional custom XY stereo mics (sold separately) turns CourtCaster into a professional, high-quality mobile recorder.
