Simplicity and versatility:
Focusrite Vocaster Two is designed to get you started right away after connecting it to your computer or tablet. Thanks to +48V phantom power, you can connect XLR microphones of all types, including condenser microphones.
Host and guest connection:
For hosting podcasts, you can use two input channels to connect two microphones, each with its own input level control. There are also two independent headphone outputs. This allows you to host a podcast with a co-host or invite a guest.
Automatic microphone volume adjustment:
The audio interface has a feature that automatically adjusts the input signal level of the microphone with up to 70 dB of gain. Simply press and hold the Auto Gain button during recording. Of course, you can also fine-tune the settings manually, and the LED ring on the Mic Gain knob provides volume information. This allows for on-the-fly adjustments that take minimal time.
Voice enhancement function:
Vocaster Two is equipped with a simple and very useful function for adjusting the sound of the microphone channel. With the Enhance button, you can choose one of four presets to give your voice a different sound. Preset selection is done using the included Vocaster Hub software, which also serves as a control center and provides additional information about all incoming signals.
Output sound from your smartphone:
Speaking of incoming signals, Vocaster Two is capable of outputting sound from a smartphone connected to the Jack connector on the back of the device. You can add phone calls to your podcast (a TRRS-TRRS cable is required, not included). Additionally, the interface offers a Loopback function, which allows you to record/stream audio from your computer and add it to the broadcast.
Recording podcast on camera:
On the back panel of the audio interface, there is a dedicated output for the camera. If you're recording a video podcast, you can connect a camera to Vocaster Two (the camera must have a TRS input) and simultaneously record audio and video tracks without the need for separate synchronization. The only requirement is a TRS-TRS cable, which is not included.
