Description
Focusrite Vocaster One Podcasting Audio Interface
This ultraportable podcast interface turns your computer or USB Type-C iPad into a potent and intuitive content-creation station, with gobs of automatic gain for any kind of microphone, onboard sound enhancements a button-push away, and a smart selection of podcast-centric software. With the option to tap remote guests, infuse music and other audio clips, and even feed the mix to a camera, the Vocaster One is a well-rounded podcasting solution that remains simple.
Good Sound in No Time
The interface’s Easy Start tool helps get you going quickly, bypassing the turmoil of having to figure everything out on your own. If you run into a roadblock, award-winning support is available at any time, day or night.
Easy Hookup for One Mic and More
Connect your preferred XLR microphone, a set of headphones, and stereo speakers straight to the Vocaster. For vloggers, there is a dedicated TRS output that lets you feed your mix right into your camera. Input and output levels are easily adjustable from the tactile controls on the Vocaster.Being a class-compliant USB Type-C interface, Vocaster works with most Mac/Windows computers as well as USB Type-C iPads. Since it can be powered through a USB connection to your host device or via an external USB power supply (available separately), it is truly portable and convenient.
Guests Welcome
Plug your smartphone into the TRRS port (TRRS cable available separately) to feature a call-in guest, or bring in any other audio from your phone. If your mobile device doesn’t have a TRRS headphone port, snag an adapter—Lightning to TRRS and USB Type-C to TRRS are the two most common—to make the hookup possible.
