About RDE RDECaster Duo All-in-One Production Solution for Podcasting
Overall Feedback:
70% positive
73% liked the rugged and durable build, while 27% found it flimsy
For $500, the audio quality is terrible.
71% found it compatible, but 29% experienced compatibility issues
This audio console provides an extensive array of input and output options, making it a great starting point for newcomers in the realm of music production.
I can use my Shure SM7B with the device without a cloud lifter and minimal noise.
The WAVE format on my device is not compatible with my current audio software.
I have tried all power banks and found that the duo is not compatible with any of them.
78% appreciated the variety of connectivity, but 22% found them limited
The connectivity and audio routing capabilities are almost endless.
The Bluetooth connectivity feature is very useful for seamlessly including phone calls into the podcast.
I found it surprisingly easy to connect my phone to the device by Bluetooth, which enables me to play audio or have a phone "guest."
When I hooked up the Rode device to my PC acting as a mixer, I noticed that it only provides 4 channels via USB, which is less than the total number of inputs. However, there is more than enough bandwidth over USB 2.0 to support it. This highlights the connectivity issue with computer-recording-audio-interfaces.
75% liked the size and weight
The size of the mixer is perfect for my desk and I love its look.
The interface is responsive, easy to navigate and learn. The setup and software installation are straightforward.
I love the look of the mixer and its size is perfect for my desk.
84% praised for its crisp and clear sound, while 16% noticed some distortion
The preamps are clean and the audio processing features save me hours of post-editing.
The sound quality of the Rodecaster Pro is adequate, but not as good as the sound processed through my dbx 286s and Yamaha mixer.
I am disappointed with the sound quality of the mixer. The raw audio recording is bad and the quality is terrible for the price of $500.
83% found the user interface intuitive
I compared this device with other cheap podcast kits and found it to be pro-grade. The finish and user interface on the touchscreen reflect its quality.
The controls are easy to use and levels can be set quickly, unlike other podcasting interfaces.
