How to use

Use the physical and virtual faders to balance levels across the seven assignable channels and assign effects or clips to the SMART pads for one-touch triggering. Connect one or two computers or mobile devices via the USB-C ports and pair a phone via Bluetooth when integrating calls. Configure wireless RØDE Series IV transmitters to the integrated receiver if using RØDE wireless microphones.

Recommendations

For best results, use low-impedance, broadcast-quality microphones and set preamp gain to achieve strong signal without clipping. Monitor levels on headphones while adjusting faders and apply APHEX® processing or on-board effects sparingly to preserve natural voice character. When recording remote interviews, prefer the dual USB-C setup to keep local and remote sources separate for easier post-production.
