RØDE Connect: the free four-mic podcast mixer.

What it does

RØDE Connect puts up to four RØDE microphones on a single computer and gives you a broadcast-style mixer for them: faders, level metering and mute buttons per channel. Virtual channels bring in remote guests and other applications, and automatic mix-minus keeps callers echo-free. Dedicated output controls feed streaming apps such as OBS.

Processing from the mic itself

Connect exposes the full DSP of whichever RØDE product is plugged in — depending on the mic that is a noise gate, EQ and compressor, or the APHEX Aural Exciter and Big Bottom.

Sound pads

Eight banks of pads with three playback styles for stings, beds and effects during a show.
