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.

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.
