The Revolution preamps have a low noise floor and high gain, meaning it’s possible to get very clean recordings right away, as well as drive a wide range of mics, including those that require phantom power. There are also more mix-oriented effects available per-channel, including the Aural Exciter, Big Bottom, compressor, gate, filter, de-esser and EQ, as well as the Compellor master compressor and leveller. It’s fun and feels like live-DJ’ing a session. The internal quad-core chip powers a set of onboard effects from Aphex, which include reverb, echo, pitch and robot, and can be punched in or out using pads or left on latch mode for any given channel. These include playing audio clips, sound effects or files (you can drag and drop your own via the desktop app), sending MIDI commands or activating effects. They’re easy to programme by assigning commands to them via the display. There are eight backlit Smart Pads, each with eight banks, for a total of 64. Four headphone outputs have individual gain knobs and you can use the screen to choose how audio is routed within the system. The four neutrik combo jacks on the rear let you connect XLR or quarter-inch jacks, and presets for certain mics will load appropriate channel settings.

The layout of the device blends software and hardware in a clever way, with channels that can be assigned to any source in software using the screen. Speaking of the screen, it’s a high-quality 5.5-inch touch surface with plenty of brightness, haptic and audio feedback though the audio ‘beep’ can be safely turned off since touches register reliably. It’s not inconceivable that Røde could add more advanced onboard session editing but the size of the screen could make this tricky. Audio can be edited in a basic fashion on the device but this is limited to trimming start and end points and adding fades in and out. You can drag and drop these to a computer for editing, record pre- or post-fader, and bypass the onboard effects, providing clean recordings that ignore your live mixing.

When recording locally, you’ll probably want to choose the multi-track option where each channel is saved as a separate 24-bit/48kHz audio file plus the stereo mix. The third is to set it up as a multi-channel audio device in your DAW, whereupon it can stream up to 16 channels for recording. The second is to an external hard drive that connects over USB. The first is to a microSD card, which slots into the rear panel.

It can record in three ways, only one of which requires a Mac or PC. It’s powered by the bundled 30W USB-C PD adapter, and you also get a robust and lengthy USB-C cable with which to connect to your computer. Its build quality is excellent and feels totally premium, from the casing to the knobs and faders. You can freely route any source you connect, and there are simple monitor and mute buttons on each channel, a large record button and a rotary control to enter data when using the touch screen. The second USB port can route stereo audio in from a second computer, a smartphone or tablet, and both USB inputs have a Mix Minus option that prevents echo from ruining your call recordings. It also enables a chat channel with its own fader, which can be used to route audio in and out of applications such as Skype – useful when dialling in remote guests.

The first connects to your Mac or PC and can send multi-track audio and MIDI, with the Smart Pads capable of sending MIDI messages for triggering actions or notes in software.

Unusually, the Rødecaster Pro II has two USB audio interface ports.
