Rode RodeCaster Duo

Why choose the RodeCaster Duo?

Typically, creating high-quality audio content as part of a broadcast or stream requires in-depth know-how and a wide range of different pieces of equipment. The Rode RodeCaster Duo distills all the knowledge and feedback taken from the past half-decade into a one-stop-shop solution, making this a perfect choice for content creators. Intuitive and easy to use, freely customisable and most importantly, immaculate sounding, the RodeCaster Duo lets you get up and running with excellent audio quality in seconds.

Powered by quad-core processing technology, the power inside the RodeCaster Duo is simply unrivalled. Add to this the beautiful onboard 5.5" touchscreen monitor, tactile navigation, RGB colouring throughout and a simple and intuitive interface, even those with less advanced knowledge will be able to achieve their dreams of creating content. Capture professional sound quickly using the professionally-designed VoxLab presets or dial in your own sound using the onboard Aphex processors.

From setting up a microphone to programming SMART pads, each feature simply presents itself, avoiding the need for any deep menu-diving, serving to maximise your creativity. Whether you're streaming, podcasting or music-making, the RodeCaster Duo makes it easy.

Join the Revolution

Good sound starts at the source. It's essential therefore that the preamp design of your equipment ensures you capture every detail in stunning quality. Thankfully, Rode understands this and is proud to highlight the newly designed Revolution preamps onboard RodeCaster Duo. Re-designed from the ground up, the Revolution preamps offer pristine sound quality for any instrument or microphone (condenser microphones included). With a staggering 76dB of gain that eliminates the need for a booster and an ultra-low noise level of -131.5dBV, you can be sure that your sound will be powerful and commanding, with little to no unwanted distortion, noise or artefacts in your audio.

Transparent and detailed, the Revolution preamps allow you to mix and edit your audio signal using the range of built-in processors in RodeCaster Duo without sacrificing your sound. What's more, there are four Revolution preamps onboard! Connecting your instrument and multiple vocal microphones simultaneously just got easier and better than ever.

Studio-grade effects onboard

Pairing with the exceptional preamps, RodeCaster Duo hosts the processing power of Aphex, one of the most revered names within the music production industry. A suite of legendary processors ensures that you will be able to sound your best no matter what. Remodelled from the ground up specifically for RodeCaster Duo, the Aphex built-in processors offer authentic emulations of classic studio hardware units. Included with Rode RodeCaster Duo are the Aural Exciter, ideal for adding sparkle and top-end, Big Bottom for adding dimension, depth and power as well as the Compeller compressor/leveller unit alongside a slew of De-essers, noise gates, filters and EQs.

Rode NTH-100 Professional Studio Headphones

Audio as it's meant to be

First and foremost, a headphone needs to sound excellent. The NTH-100 Professional Studio Headphones deliver on this requirement to a T. Meticulously crafted to deliver sonic perfection, the NTH-100's are exceptional headphones for referencing, mixing, mastering, podcasting, streaming or any other critical listening situation. Powered by two custom-matched 40mm dynamic drivers that have been tuned to perfection, the NTH-100 delivers a full-range frequency response from 5Hz – 35kHz. Their design is based around a custom voice coil with a four-layer ultra-high-tension aluminium alloy as its core, which is coupled to an ultra-stiff triple-layer Mylar® diaphragm. For optimal performance, the NTH-100's feature a rare-earth neodymium magnet for extremely low levels of distortion across the entire frequency range at all volume levels.

Premium audio components are combined with exceptional earcup design to provide an isolated and immersive listening experience. These design elements culminate in a headphone that boasts a remarkably natural sound with a similar sonic signature akin to open-back headphones but with all of the advantages of closed-backs. Smooth mid-range, full-bodied lows and sweet and articulate highs are what you will expect to hear with the NTH-100's, in other words, audio how it was meant to be.

Superior comfort

In order to be the best in class, the NTH-100 needs to be both immaculate sounding and extremely comfortable. Thankfully, RODE has used a slew of premium materials to create one of the most comfortable headphone experiences available. Even during long and late sessions, the NTH-100 delivers superior comfort and reduces any listening fatigue to keep you focussed for longer.

Starting with the earpads and headband, a luxurious Alcantara fabric is used to provide ultimate comfort. This high-end fabric is typically reserved for premium sports car manufacturing thanks to its durable construction and extremely soft feel. Alcantara is renowned for possessing excellent aeration qualities, meaning it won't get hot like leather, or spongey like cloth materials making it perfect for professional studio headphones. Coupled with this premium fabric in the earpads and headband is the CoolTech gel, allowing for even more cooling properties. CoolTech absorbs and dissipates heat extremely effectively, ensuring your head stays cool even after long listening sessions, helping to reduce the effects of fatigue. This feature is invaluable for creators who often find themselves in long, arduous sessions – from mixing engineers to podcasters.

It's not just the materials that are made for comfort. The Rode NTH-100 have been ergonomically designed to contour to the shape of your head for the perfect fit. Contoured to perfection and featuring bi-directional movement, the NTH-100 will fit on any head shape or size, even over a pair of traditional glasses that sit on your ears. When you have the perfect fit for your head, use the FitLok locking mechanism to secure the earcups in place and return to your NTH-100 in the same position as to where you left them.

Highly functional for all creative uses

Designed to blend functionality with classic aesthetics, the NTH-100 Professional Studio Headphones gives every creative the tools they need. This includes a cable attachment port on both earcups, allowing you to position your cable wherever is more convenient to your equipment. Each connector is fitted with a high-quality lock to provide complete security if the cable is accidentally knocked or pulled.

Each NTH-100 comes complete with one 2.4m cable to ensure a long enough cable length to connect to equipment that's outside of your immediate vicinity. For universal compatibility, a thread adapter is also included. An extremely useful accessory for podcasting or studio work, the NTH-100 also comes supplied with eight colour ID rings that can be used on cables and your headphones to give a visual representation of your headphones and cables for quickly identifying where you are plugged into.

Built for endurance

As a content creator, musician or producer, days are often longer than your typical 9-5 job. Squeezing in the maximum amount of time necessary to complete your work to a tight deadline or simply flexing your creative muscle when inspiration strikes - no matter what time of day. To cope with this demand, the NTH-100s have been precision-engineered in RODE's state-of-the-art facilities in Sydney, Australia using only the finest components and parts available.

Everywhere you look across these headphones you can see the quality and attention to detail come to fruition. A stainless spring steel headband is double-coated for extra rigidity under stress and has been tested under extreme pressure over 20,000 times during testing. Alcantara earpads and headphone cushions provide additional protection against daily wear and tear and are also replaceable should they ever become damaged in your lifetime of use. Not only that but the TRRS cable is also shielded in a highly flexible and protective casing to protect from any fraying or breakage and is itself also replaceable.

Using innovative solutions across the headphones, the NTH-100 Professional Studio Headphones are not only practical, excellent sounding but durable enough to meet the rigors of touring musicians and producers. The bi-directional earcup adjustment is fitted with FitLok locking mechanism to ensure no excessive movement occurs, keeping your headphones in excellent shape when not in use. A handy storage pouch is also provided to keep your headphones safe when on the move.

Robotic technology was used to pull, bend, and weigh down the headphones thousands of times to ensure they will be able to withstand several decades worth of use and still go strong. After testing the NTH-100's passed with flying colours and can even withstand a drop force of up to 25KG direct to the earcup itself.
