In Elgato terms, this is essentially a Camlink Pro, a Wave XLR and a Streamdeck, all in one device! Absolutely love the new series of products from Rode.
Hi do you use a Mac or pc ? I have a problem, each time I turn off the computer or put it in sleep mode the streamer gets disconnected! So I need to unplug the usb and the power! Im using the original cable on Mac mini m1
I was thinking the same thing. How long will it take elgato to copy Rode. Just like the dynamic of numark and pioneer. Numark comes out with all the innovations and pioneer copied them and make them better
Yeah except this is way better than anything elgato makes. Went through 2 HD portable capture cards & 2 4K portable capture cards. I will say elgatos pc capture card was great and had no issues but I’m rarely at home so that’s good for nothing.
My Rodecaster Pro is the best piece of audio gear I’ve ever bought. Works great for Zoom/Teams calls at work, streaming through OBS on Linux, listening to music, etc. so versatile and audio quality is amazing. Really interested in this now.
For me as a streamer the biggest thing holding me back from switching to Unify and Rode ecosystem in general is the lack of external control of Unify sliders. I need to have the ability to adjust volume of my audio channels without having to tab out of the game or any other sort of app, so an integration with the streamdeck or the ability to create a preset that would adjust the position of the slider to a certain value with a press of a pad on streamer x would be huge. Even if it is just "increase the volume of this channel by 10% with one press of this pad" sort of thing. Apart from that you guys are shaking up the market! RØDE one love
I agree. Unify is really powerful and intuitive to use but I need level knobs as well. Recently got the Stream Deck + and using that with their Wavelink software works pretty well.
Hoping for a Streamer Duo in the future with two video inputs and the ability to cut between them or setup PIP presets. Only one of the HDMI inputs will need a passthrough (for game), the other (camera) would not. This would also open it up to corporate broadcasting being able to pull in a camera + slides and easily stream out both with analog audio in as well.
you people are amazing. always comes up with great solutions. I love all the Rode Products and beyond that you people always listen to your customers and give us the best updates free of cost. this device is game changers for many individuals youtubers and more. I love it
Absolutely brilliant product. As a music producer and content creator for my music students this is a game-changer, only thing missing for me would be an additional output for monitors and I could replace big setups with this device. Blessings RØDE, keep rocking!
Amazing Start, I would love to see a version of this that has the option to records the output directly to an External Drive; then it would be an ultimate portable podcasting device.
Looking forward to trying this. I am wondering if you’re able to control webcams through this in addition to the onboard video. I believe you cannot connect a USBC webcam to this or can you? Either way I’m hoping to understand how this can control and handle my current setup with an HDMI cam coming soon. 👍🏼
Yeah - I was hoping this would have two HDMI’s and be able to use the wireless and XLR at the same time. I’m on the lookout for that device if anyone has a suggestion. Would have loved for it to be a Rode. (Doesn’t have to have wireless - long as I could plug in a XLR and 3.5 at the same time)
I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! WORKS STRAIGHT OUT THE BOX! Hey Rode I just made a video about this product! Awesome Work! I'm gonna do a review soon! It's really awesome!
Yeah this device at $249 to me is a no brainer. I would buy it for corporate AV work to use as a simple way to stream breakout rooms easily (replacing my Blackmagic Web Presenters with a little more functionality).
When completing the unboxing and getting the streamer x setup through the rode connect app, you don't see any levels/audio meters reflected within the app. This becomes difficult/impossible to make adjustments to the audio processing features like the compressor, noise gate, etc. (I left another comment earlier but it looks like it was flagged because I added a link to a video that showed exactly what I meant)
I wish your next version of this have the built-in 2 or 4 receivers of wireless go so we can use these with our mobile phone's devices. it will be great that we just simply put the tx to the guest 1 2 3 or 4 people and all we can control from our phones or laptops. I am very confident that this will come soon too.
i got a question, got one of this unit today, was thinking to whether this can be use for a mobile stream, whereby you don't need a power source to power it on, to my surprise when connecting the USB to my Mac, it power on the unit, I have not done a live stream to test if that works, can you tell me to whether i don't need to use the power supply in order to use the unit to do a live stream,
Sounds impressive. I feel like I am becoming a digital refugee with every new RODE product released. Why do I want all these toys when my RCP2 is perfectly fine? 😃
Do I need to have the power supply with computer or does it power by USB C cable? and also why this device still stay on even if I shutdown my computer plz can you help? and also please can you make a detail video about each of the feature of this device. and How to increase the headphone volume for the people who have hearing problem?
Hey there, you don't need to use the power supply, just the USB cable connected to your computer. You can turn it off by taking out the plug, or you can adjust the brightness in RØDE Central. You can adjust the headphone volume using the headphone dial, which is blue. For more on using the Streamer X, we can promise the user guide here is really easy to read: rode.com/en/user-guides/streamer-x
Hi Rode! I’m thinking of getting the Streamer X to upgrade my Zoom Podtrak P4, for my interview show on radio/Facebook. Can I also input audio from my phone to the Streamer X for phone interviews?
I read the comments I agree with most, two HDMI inputs would be great, one for PC (console) and the other for camera. As an audio interface, what about external speakers? Some people have hybrid streaming and music making setups. TRS outputs for studio monitors would've been great, not just headphones.
if you were to use BOTH head phone plugs 3.5mm and the 1/4 will both show up on rode connect/unify??? for routing/volume adjustment purposes. when you showed the app i only 1 but im assuming you only were using 1 (headset) for example i would use the 1/4 inch for my headset and use the other headset 3.5mm as a trrs line out but want to make sure i can control both within the connect/unify app.
Just asking, is this in place of using the Rode Caster Pro 2? And/or can you use in conjunction with the Rode Caster Pro 2? Are you doing away with the Rode Caster Pro 2? Because I thought the Rode Caster Pro 2 was the ultimate device for streaming and recording music and such
wish there was an device in between this and the duo. I only need one mic input, i need the ability to plug into two pc via usb, but i also need a screen to see audio levels with knobs instead of faders(space constraints) to adjust audio without having the leave my game. right now i am using the beacn mix create along side this and importing the beacn audio to the virtual input in unify just so i can have the knobs and the ability to adjust stream audio vs what i hear without having to leave my game to open the unify software.
Hey there, that capability doesn't exist in the Streamer X, but the RØDECaster Pro II and Duo both have bluetooth capability for using Bluetooth headphones and microphones.
@@rodemic Agreed and I do have that caster pro. But as a podcaster single home user, this Bluetooth function will make content creators completely wireless. Most of the PC or Mac Bluetooth connection has latency issues and volume too low, as Some users have hearing issues They can increase volume with wired headphones but on Bluetooth very limited volume. Any way I just ordered the streamer X and i ill give it a try.
@rodemic At your next firmware update, please include the ability for the Streamer X to host USB microphones such as the PodMic USB when connected to the USB 2 input. Many thanks for your kind assistance.
Im ready for rodecaster pro3. A full 4 channel version With a capture card. I'd pay $1500 if it supports multi-cam up to 4 camera. Let me not be greedy here. A 4 channel with a video capture card would be dope
Hey Zoli, any audio sent to HDMI IN will be sent to HDMI THRU and is unaffected by either mute/cut buttons. You can route HDMI Audio as a separate audio source within UNIFY too!
Holy moly! 🤯 I just bought the Rødecaster Pro II 6 months ago, along with a Sony ZV-E10 camera and have been having issues with connecting a camera for Livestreams! Now Røde brings out this! So what do I do with my Rødecaster Pro II now that this new device is the all in one content creators want? 😵💫
What kind of issues have you been having? I use the Sony ZV-E10 and never had an issue. And depending on what you use the RCPII for, I wouldn't say get rid of it.
@@waltjennette Thanks for responding! The Sony ZV-E10 is a phenomenal camera. As you know the Rødecaster Pro II is very difficult to connect a camera to. The device shown in this video is a simple plug and go, where as with the Rødecaster Pro II, your video and audio cannot sink due to them not being able to connect without sacrificing something on either device. I recently saw on B&H’s TH-cam channel the day after making my initial comment that you can delay the audio on the Rødecaster Pro II to sink with audio. I will play with that feature on a practice Livestream to see if that would prevent me from having to edit the video post Livestream. If that works, then that would save me a major headache in Final Cut Pro. If you can provide any help as to what you do, I would greatly be appreciated!
Can you use the USB-C at the back to attach a drive for quick exports of captures if you’re using this as a educational tool? Or do you have to rely on a connected PC/Mac to save recordings?
Hi, how do I turn off the device? When I shut down the computer, Streamer X stays on. There is no power on or off the switch. Please help. It looks odd when the system is off, but device lights stay on in the darkroom
Hey there, you can turn it off by taking the cable out. Just note that you only need the cable that connects the Streamer X to the computer, the power cable is optional. So you only need to take out one cable. Also, if you go the the brightness settings in RØDE Central, you can change the brightness of the buttons so it's less bright at night.
@@rodemic Thank you but it a very painful to remove the cable to turn off the device. When the computer is off and the device stays on There should be a standby mode or sleep mode that when the system is not in use the streamer x should go standby or sleep mode or turn off. Hope you will fix this with a firmware update.
@@rodemic thank you~! This worked perfectly for me!! I love how fast you reacted to my question❤️ Btw, I managed to configure each MIDI separately on Rode Central without any problem, but when I tried to edit one pad’s MIDI on Rode Unify, it automatically unified all the note and channel that I set separately on other pads. Just for note! And sorry for another question. I wanted to configure Windows’ sound output separately by apps, but I couldn’t select anything but system output (Rode UNIFY). This ended up all outputs from my PC was recognized as “system output(Rode UNIFY),” so the music, game sound, and voice chats were all joined into one track. Do you have any solutions to this kind of situation? Or is it just happening to me? I saw videos trying to do the same thing and working with no problem.
Hey Steven, the Streamer X only has one HDMI input, so it depends exactly on what you'd like to do, but if you're looking for a "HDMI video switcher" this isn't one.
Looks like an awesome device, if I have a two PC setup and don't have admin control over one of the PCs will the Streamer X still work on that PC? I want to use it to be able to switch between my gaming PC and my work PC when I need to run Teams calls using the microphone including using the mute/ video buttons. Does it need to install itself on the PC even if I don't install Rode Central or Unify?
Hey there, good questions! You can operate the Streamer X just fine with your 'gaming PC' computer running UNIFY and the Streamer X connected over USB 1 and the 'work PC' simply connected via USB2.
Unfortunately this is not possible with lightning-type generations of the iPhone (earlier than iPhone 15), a computer would be a better solution in that case. If you do have an iPhone 15, here's a video on how it can work: th-cam.com/video/MfhwHlR18qE/w-d-xo.html
Hi Ryan and RODE team, question! Why cannot the RODE Streamer X downscale the pass through from 4k to 1440p (or any other format)? I have connected my PS5 to the Streamer X at what it automatically picks 4K60, and the pass through to my ASUS 27" 1440p 155hz monitor, when I do this you get a screen pop up saying capture frame not supported, I unplug the pass through and then the capture card works just fine, this is on the Streamlabs streaming platform I am using to stream to Twitch. Is this because the hardware doesn't support it? I doubt it would be software as you would have fixed this with an update. Other than using a third party software or streaming solution like ecamm for example, its my understanding that we would need to purchase a 4k monitor for the streamer X to work? Is this correct? also, why wasn't this tested before distribution?
Hey there and thanks for your questions about the Streamer X! Firstly, passthrough is just a feature to pass through the resolution you're sending to your Streamer X to an external location like a monitor. If you set your PS5 to output a 1440p signal, that may allow your signal be accepted by your Streamer X and monitor. "Downscaling" is not an advertised feature of the device.
@@rodemic Thank you, I gather when designing this device PS5 and XBOX users were kept in mind, and I'm pretty confident Rode should have a PS5 lying around your offices somewhere, as it should have been tested, right? Can you assist us as to how you downscale the PS5 output? so that the Streamer X passes through at 1080p or 1440p?
Will it work with the Sony PlayStation 5 though, PlayStation have always made it difficult to connect 3rd party audio devices via USB 2 or USB-C in the fact it never recognises them, so you can’t use them easily. If you can use it direct with a PS5… you’re amazing and I’ll have one. :) 😊
This seems o be an amazing device! However, some questins remain unanswered: 1.) If I replace my curerent audio interface by the Streamer X, how do I connect and control my audio monitors, which are currently connectedd (balanced cables) to my audio interface? 2.) How much gain can the audio interface deliver for dynamic microphones and how can I monitor the microphone gain on the interface itself? 3.) Can I loop back the audio from my computer and what is the latency under optimal circumstances? 4.) How can I see, which function underlies the colored buttons on the right side - especially with 64 different ones? Thank you in advance!
Hey Dirk, some answers for you: 1) If your monitors allow for a stereo input (3.5mm, for example) you can use the headphone output on your Streamer X or go directly from your computer. If you need balanced 1/4-inch outputs for your monitors, you'll need to use an interface such as the AI-1 that has a stereo pair of 1/4-inch balanced outputs. 2) The Streamer X can provide 76dB of input gain for your microphone input and you can adjust the output gain of the microphone channel within RØDE Central. The left encoder ring LED will give you an indication of the input gain level you have set, and the input channel select LED above it will flash red if your signal is clipping. 3) Yes! If you connect your computer to the Streamer X with an additional USB cable plugged into USB 2, you can adjust volume, routing and mixing of the USB 2 channel via RØDE Central or UNIFY to customise your computer's audio loopback. 4) When connected to RØDE Central or UNIFY, you'll be able to see (and rename) each SMART pads contents, whether its a sound pad, voice effects, mixer action or MIDI command. Hope that helps clarify things for you!
What I notice with Ecamm and my Rode Wireless Pros is that the audio DB is always a lot lower than when I record directly to my camera. Is there a fix for this? I purchased a Streamer X to think the amp would help. Any ideas here?
@@rodemic it would be great if you add presets on firmware one day ! Im using is with Shure mv7 and it sounds better then its USB connection! is there a way to turn the lights off when im not using it ?o turn the lights off when im not using it ?
Good question. The Streamer X will maintain some functionality as an audio interface when using it with regular USB 2.0 cables and ports. However, the device will not function as a capture card unless it is plugged into a port capable of USB 3.1 and using a cable which is USB 3.1 or higher. If your USB 3.1 port on your computer is USB type A, then you will also need a converter which supports USB 3.1 speeds.
Was this video made with the Streamer X? I ask because I am wondering what features the Streamer X has to help creators meet loudness goals? I notice creators fall several dB short of TH-cam standards. However, this video was only 0.3 dB low which is amazing. How do creators meet those standards easily?
The video was clearly edited and mixed, not live. If it was live and you wanted it this loud then you use compression on your mic in the Streamer-X and a limiter in OBS. Remember, TH-cam's playback normalization level is not a target level. People can turn up something that is well mixed and just a couple dB low, TH-cam will automatically turn down audio that's above a certain level (roughly -14 LUFS-I), and pushing beyond that will just sound distorted at any level. Make it sound good, and keep it consistent.
@@TheREAPERBlog Thanks. What I was hoping was that Streamer X would include platform-specific compression/limiting presets to assist creators in getting consistent audio.
Rode should come out with a app, that you can control your RodeCaster Pro 2 . Like sound pads or add audio to the pads, even mess with the EQ settings.
So I bought it and don't get me wrong its a very cool device. But what the hell happened with the headphone out? It has a constant hiss that is even audible on 250 Ohm headphones. Using the NTH-100 with it sounds like I'am sitting at the beach. I also got my Streamer X replaced by the retailer but it has the same issue as the first device. Please tell me this is a firmware issue that will be fixed ...
In Elgato terms, this is essentially a Camlink Pro, a Wave XLR and a Streamdeck, all in one device! Absolutely love the new series of products from Rode.

I've been looking for a capture card, and now one found me. Thank you, Rode! I can't wait to pick up one of these for my podcast.
For me as a streamer the biggest thing holding me back from switching to Unify and Rode ecosystem in general is the lack of external control of Unify sliders. I need to have the ability to adjust volume of my audio channels without having to tab out of the game or any other sort of app, so an integration with the streamdeck or the ability to create a preset that would adjust the position of the slider to a certain value with a press of a pad on streamer x would be huge. Even if it is just "increase the volume of this channel by 10% with one press of this pad" sort of thing. Apart from that you guys are shaking up the market! RØDE one love
I agree. Unify is really powerful and intuitive to use but I need level knobs as well. Recently got the Stream Deck + and using that with their Wavelink software works pretty well.
You have absolutely no idea how long I've been waiting for an audio interface like that.

Only one of the HDMI inputs will need a passthrough (for game), the other (camera) would not. This would also open it up to corporate broadcasting being able to pull in a camera + slides and easily stream out both with analog audio in as well.

So you only need to take out one cable. Also, if you go the the brightness settings in RØDE Central, you can change the brightness of the buttons so it's less bright at night.
@@rodemic Thank you but it a very painful to remove the cable to turn off the device. When the computer is off and the device stays on
There should be a standby mode or sleep mode that when the system is not in use the streamer x should go standby or sleep mode or turn off. Hope you will fix this with a firmware update.
Any preference for MIDI -> keyboard shortcut converting software?(for Windows)
I want to use the smart pads as a shortcut key when editing video!
We'd suggest MIDI KEY2KEY for Windows: midikey2key.de/
@@rodemic thank you~! This worked perfectly for me!! I love how fast you reacted to my question❤️
Btw, I managed to configure each MIDI separately on Rode Central without any problem, but when I tried to edit one pad’s MIDI on Rode Unify, it automatically unified all the note and channel that I set separately on other pads. Just for note!
And sorry for another question. I wanted to configure Windows’ sound output separately by apps, but I couldn’t select anything but system output (Rode UNIFY). This ended up all outputs from my PC was recognized as “system output(Rode UNIFY),” so the music, game sound, and voice chats were all joined into one track.
Do you have any solutions to this kind of situation? Or is it just happening to me?
I saw videos trying to do the same thing and working with no problem.
Hey RODE,
Can one connect the XDM-100 (which is USB only) to the Streamer X just as he would to the Rodecaster Pro II or Dou?
Please reply.
Hey there @1BabaSalam, that's not possible at this time, apologies.
Sure looks like a game changer at the moment....I want one ;-)
I love it!!!! just a question, is it works with usb microphone like blue yeti?
It doesn't work with any USB mics at this stage, @del_veee.
@@rodemic only xlr? maybe witha jack 14?
It works with XLR mics, headset mics like on gaming headsets, and select RØDE Wireless mics.
Can you make an aggregate device with one or more Streamer X
on MacOS?
Can I use the streamer X for a podcast like a multicam usage to switch from host to interviewee?
Hey Steven, the Streamer X only has one HDMI input, so it depends exactly on what you'd like to do, but if you're looking for a "HDMI video switcher" this isn't one.
i want it now!!!!!!
Looks like an awesome device, if I have a two PC setup and don't have admin control over one of the PCs will the Streamer X still work on that PC? I want to use it to be able to switch between my gaming PC and my work PC when I need to run Teams calls using the microphone including using the mute/ video buttons. Does it need to install itself on the PC even if I don't install Rode Central or Unify?
Hey there, good questions! You can operate the Streamer X just fine with your 'gaming PC' computer running UNIFY and the Streamer X connected over USB 1 and the 'work PC' simply connected via USB2.
@@rodemic Thank you! Final question, will I need to install drivers on the Work PC to enable the Streamer X to work properly??
Please add facility to delay audio for better lip sync with video source.
It’s the only hardware i’m missing before I will start my new TH-cam channel !! Thanks for some great products!!
Why wait? Just get started!
Curious to know how the Streamer X integrates with the RCPII?
Eu também tenho a mesma dúvida .
Does it have stereo audio input?
I plan on using it on ECAMM Live with TH-cam....
We'd suggest checking out our short vid here: th-cam.com/users/shortsbcE-2FCeT90?feature=share
Hey @rodemic, need a little push here.
I use my iPhone as my webcam. How can I configure Streamer X to record both my screen and webcam?
Unfortunately this is not possible with lightning-type generations of the iPhone (earlier than iPhone 15), a computer would be a better solution in that case. If you do have an iPhone 15, here's a video on how it can work: th-cam.com/video/MfhwHlR18qE/w-d-xo.html
Hi Ryan and RODE team, question! Why cannot the RODE Streamer X downscale the pass through from 4k to 1440p (or any other format)? I have connected my PS5 to the Streamer X at what it automatically picks 4K60, and the pass through to my ASUS 27" 1440p 155hz monitor, when I do this you get a screen pop up saying capture frame not supported, I unplug the pass through and then the capture card works just fine, this is on the Streamlabs streaming platform I am using to stream to Twitch. Is this because the hardware doesn't support it? I doubt it would be software as you would have fixed this with an update. Other than using a third party software or streaming solution like ecamm for example, its my understanding that we would need to purchase a 4k monitor for the streamer X to work? Is this correct? also, why wasn't this tested before distribution?
Hey there and thanks for your questions about the Streamer X! Firstly, passthrough is just a feature to pass through the resolution you're sending to your Streamer X to an external location like a monitor. If you set your PS5 to output a 1440p signal, that may allow your signal be accepted by your Streamer X and monitor. "Downscaling" is not an advertised feature of the device.
@@rodemic Thank you, I gather when designing this device PS5 and XBOX users were kept in mind, and I'm pretty confident Rode should have a PS5 lying around your offices somewhere, as it should have been tested, right? Can you assist us as to how you downscale the PS5 output? so that the Streamer X passes through at 1080p or 1440p?
Would the wirless interface work with my dji wirless mics instead of rodes brand wirless mic
Hey there, the firmware of the Streamer X is only setup to use our own wireless mics at this stage.
Will it work with the Sony PlayStation 5 though, PlayStation have always made it difficult to connect 3rd party audio devices via USB 2 or USB-C in the fact it never recognises them, so you can’t use them easily.
If you can use it direct with a PS5… you’re amazing and I’ll have one. :) 😊
now can you please make this in 4 video inputs!? A lot of people will replace their Blackmagic ATEM Minis for it.
This seems o be an amazing device! However, some questins remain unanswered:
1.) If I replace my curerent audio interface by the Streamer X, how do I connect and control my audio monitors, which are currently connectedd (balanced cables) to my audio interface?
2.) How much gain can the audio interface deliver for dynamic microphones and how can I monitor the microphone gain on the interface itself?
3.) Can I loop back the audio from my computer and what is the latency under optimal circumstances?
4.) How can I see, which function underlies the colored buttons on the right side - especially with 64 different ones?
Thank you in advance!
Hey Dirk, some answers for you:
1) If your monitors allow for a stereo input (3.5mm, for example) you can use the headphone output on your Streamer X or go directly from your computer. If you need balanced 1/4-inch outputs for your monitors, you'll need to use an interface such as the AI-1 that has a stereo pair of 1/4-inch balanced outputs.
2) The Streamer X can provide 76dB of input gain for your microphone input and you can adjust the output gain of the microphone channel within RØDE Central. The left encoder ring LED will give you an indication of the input gain level you have set, and the input channel select LED above it will flash red if your signal is clipping.
3) Yes! If you connect your computer to the Streamer X with an additional USB cable plugged into USB 2, you can adjust volume, routing and mixing of the USB 2 channel via RØDE Central or UNIFY to customise your computer's audio loopback.
4) When connected to RØDE Central or UNIFY, you'll be able to see (and rename) each SMART pads contents, whether its a sound pad, voice effects, mixer action or MIDI command.
Hope that helps clarify things for you!
@@rodemic WOW! You take customer support serious 🧐 Thanks a lot for your valuable answers!
What I notice with Ecamm and my Rode Wireless Pros is that the audio DB is always a lot lower than when I record directly to my camera. Is there a fix for this? I purchased a Streamer X to think the amp would help. Any ideas here?
You just need to turn the volume of your mic up. This can be done from RØDE Central by adjusting the "Volume" setting on the reciever.
@@rodemic thank you. I’ll try that.
Enough Gain to connect Shure SM7b to it ? Also can I use Nintendo Switch and Sony Alpha camera ?
Yes you can connect your mic and the Switch easily! Regarding the camera, it will depend on whether it can output via HDMI or not
Is there a way to select a type of microphone that I use like in rodecaster pro ?
No, there are no presets like the RØDECaster Pro II has, however you have super flexible control over the settings in RØDE Central!
@@rodemic it would be great if you add presets on firmware one day ! Im using is with Shure mv7 and it sounds better then its USB connection! is there a way to turn the lights off when im not using it ?o turn the lights off when im not using it ?
Is it possible to connect the Streamer X to a RODECaster Pro II/Duo?
Eu também estou com essa dúvida .
Can it be used with an ipad? because ipad also has rode central app
The iPad, iPhone version of Central won't work the same way unfortunately.
Can you connect it to the pc using a usb-c to standard usb chord?
Good question. The Streamer X will maintain some functionality as an audio interface when using it with regular USB 2.0 cables and ports. However, the device will not function as a capture card unless it is plugged into a port capable of USB 3.1 and using a cable which is USB 3.1 or higher. If your USB 3.1 port on your computer is USB type A, then you will also need a converter which supports USB 3.1 speeds.
Can you disable direct monitoring (not hearing yourself when speaking)?
Yes, you can adjust this using RØDE Central
Was this video made with the Streamer X? I ask because I am wondering what features the Streamer X has to help creators meet loudness goals? I notice creators fall several dB short of TH-cam standards. However, this video was only 0.3 dB low which is amazing. How do creators meet those standards easily?
The video was clearly edited and mixed, not live.
If it was live and you wanted it this loud then you use compression on your mic in the Streamer-X and a limiter in OBS.
Remember, TH-cam's playback normalization level is not a target level. People can turn up something that is well mixed and just a couple dB low, TH-cam will automatically turn down audio that's above a certain level (roughly -14 LUFS-I), and pushing beyond that will just sound distorted at any level. Make it sound good, and keep it consistent.
@@TheREAPERBlog Thanks. What I was hoping was that Streamer X would include platform-specific compression/limiting presets to assist creators in getting consistent audio.
I just bought this . I only need it for the Audio functions not the video. Can that be done.
Yes it can be done- just plug it in and use it for audio. No video needed!
My dream is to have a Rodecaster Pro 2 with 8 HDMI Input all in a new product. PLEASEEEEE RODE LISTEN TO US!!! 😅
Can you use your new PodMic USB via USB only with the Streamer X?
No, the Streamer X doesn't have USB hosting at this stage, but the XLR connection will work perfectly!
Is usbc port at the back compatible with usbc microphone?
No, not at this stage!
Looks great! Works with Zoom? Very clean office! Psychiatry clinic? :D
Yes, its great for Zoom!
Rode should come out with a app, that you can control your RodeCaster Pro 2 . Like sound pads or add audio to the pads, even mess with the EQ settings.
Maybe in the future - for know we have Central and UNIFY!
Can an iPad be connected via USB-C. If so, how so?
64 actions on the pads? Does anyone know how that works?
Will this work with the DJI wireless mic?
It will not- only RØDE Wireless series IV mics (Wireless GO II and Wireless ME) are supported.
Can i install and Uwe the Software without Admin rights for installation?
This may depend on your operating System! But you can grab it for free in the description, so why not try?
So I bought it and don't get me wrong its a very cool device. But what the hell happened with the headphone out? It has a constant hiss that is even audible on 250 Ohm headphones. Using the NTH-100 with it sounds like I'am sitting at the beach. I also got my Streamer X replaced by the retailer but it has the same issue as the first device. Please tell me this is a firmware issue that will be fixed ...
Hey there, we'd recommend reaching to our Service Team directly if you have any concerns with your Streamer X: rode.com/contact
Hello, it will good for beyerdynamic Dt 700/900 ?
Yes these will work fine with the Streamer X
