Highlights of the Rodecaster Pro ii include:
- Really easy setup
- Various different profiles for different mics
- Far less tweaking than other pre-amp setups
- Multi-audio input options
- Massive amounts of customisation options
- Superb build quality and great sound
Lowlights:
- Sadly the smart pads don't have on-the-fly recording
- You need a fat 3.5mm jack for headset monitoring
- The streaming mix isn't as easy as the GoXLR (more on that later)
