Streaming and Podcasting like a Pro: A look to to the New Roland BRIDGE CAST’s Features
Podcasters and live streamers who want to improve the quality of their audio will find the Roland BRIDGE CAST to be an incredible resource. With this high-powered USB audio interface, your music will stand out from the crowd and sound better than ever before.
Roland Bridge Cast Audio Interface
The BRIDGE CAST’s high resolution audio (24 bits / 96 kHz) will impress your listeners. The game-changing in-built 4-channel mixer has assignable buttons and illuminated rotary controls for mixing the microphone and three streaming channels (aux, chat, game). This facilitates on-the-fly volume control, allowing you to maintain a professional level of sound quality.
Podcasters and streamers who care about the quality of their audio will appreciate the XLR microphone input’s +48 V phantom power. The microphone channel can have its sound altered in a number of ways, thanks to the 32-bit hardware digital signal processor. It also features voice effects from Roland’s VT series, allowing you to modify and improve your voice’s sound to create your own signature style.
New Roland Bridge Cast: Dual Bus Architecture
Another feature that truly sets the Roland BRIDGE CAST apart from other audio interfaces is its dual bus architecture. Because of this, you can create two different mixes, one for streaming online and one for your own personal use, giving you the option to tailor the listening experience to your audience and to yourself. Live streamers can use this to give their viewers a more realistic experience.
If you’re looking for a flexible, high-powered tool, look no further than the BRIDGE CAST app. It’s possible to customize numerous aspects, including the voice effects, equalizer settings, button and knob assignments, backlight color, and more. As a result, it’s a flexible and user-friendly choice for both live streaming and podcasting, as you can tailor the sound to your specific needs.
The Roland BRIDGE CAST’s front panel is highly modifiable, which is another feature that sets it apart. To make their setups more unique, streamers can do this with custom artwork.
Multiple forms of connection are available on the BRIDGE CAST. It’s simple to integrate with a wide variety of devices thanks to its compatibility with iOS and Sony’s PlayStation 5. Auxiliary input and line output 3.5 mm jacks and a headphone jack also make it compatible with a wide variety of headphones and other audio devices.
The BRIDGE CAST weighs 450 g and measures 222 x 110 x 70 mm, making it simple to set up and transport. A Quick Start Guide, a USB-C cable, and a USB-C to USB-A cable are all included in the package, making it a complete solution for anyone looking to improve their audio production.
