How To Connect the Rodecaster Pro 2 to an iPhone

[@waltjennette]

You can't record phone calls with the cables. You can only record phone calls over Bluetooth. It's an iOS issue, NOT Rode!

[@tessifromi5268]

lol why would you want to record calls? That's illegal if you don't notify the person that the call is being recorded.

[@waltjennette]

Of course, but this would only apply to those people doing interviews over the phone or taking live callers on a talk show or stream. There's very much a use case for it.

Thanks Walter. This was very informative and helpful. 👍🏼

[@waltjennette]

Glad it was helpful!

I can confirm that this works with the iPad Pro and the Charging cable that comes with the iPad Pro 11 inch 2nd gen. Dope video also bro! I was looking for a way to do this without using bluetooth! its a waaaaayyyyyyy cleaner sound! Thank you!! Also... you can use the cable that comes with the Rodecaster Pro 2 and use another usb-c cable to run to your computer if you just wanna use the iPad as a music source.

[@waltjennette]

Yesssir! Thanks for confirming. It's dope that it works with the iPad pro cause it definitely doesn't with the iPhone.

[@kevinvanderlei3271]

Thanks for the video, very helpful!

[@cokitoi]

Does it work in iphone 13 promax?

[@cedricblakejr4514]

Thanks for the video! Can you use two SC19 cables and two phones to record at the same time?

[@fufu602]

Please answer this

[@bianca13lgtbfamily]

@@fufu602Hi!! Did you find the answer? Thanks

[@Rad-n-Colorado]

Yes you can. You can actually do two calls on USBC and one via Bluetooth. Using 3 phones.

[@bianca13lgtbfamily]

@@Rad-n-ColoradoThank you so much for your reply! Do you know if two phones can be used for video as well? That would be a game changer. Thank you so much!!

[@waltjennette]

This all depends on the scope of the question. I can connect to phones via USB cable and push audio out to the phones to capture in video or voice note or to discord or something like that. I can bring audio back into the RCP from the phone if I’m using it to play music or whatever. BUT you can’t record phone calls via USB with iOS so if you’re thinking can you have 2 phones for the purpose of having 2 phone calls at the same time, you CANNOT do that via USB. But you could have your 3 way call and then pump that in via Bluetooth if that’s what you’re asking

[@sumitino]

Is this how you would take a phone call on a livestream or would Bluetooth be used for that?

[@BambooBOB69]

Only USB-C two worked for me. I couldn’t get it. Worked with USB-C one.

[@Newday4real]

I have enjoyed what I see, but I have a question. Can you record audio from your Rode Caster Pro 2 to your iPhone so that you have both video and audio? Again thank you for your videos.

[@brucejere.n]

Oh yeah, I’d also want an answer to that question because I’m using all iPhones for video recording so getting rid of post audio sync would be great if possible. @walterjenette please answer😢

[@VazquezMedia]

@@brucejere.nyes you can. I’m using rodecsster pro 2 to iPhone 15. (using the USB-C to USB-C cable that came with the Rode)

[@realcryptokaleo]

Hey man, really appreciate your videos. Is there any way you could make a tutorial for how to use the Rodecaster Pro 2 with Twitter Spaces? They've been growing rapidly in popularity as a medium for people to host regular live shows, podcasts, etc., but unfortunately you can only run them on an iPhone (there's no PC compatible hosting option). Obviously it would be really nice to be able to use my Shure-SM7B for recording audio vs. the standard iPhone mic, as well as all of the other benefits using a rodecaster provides. Majority of people I know use the Rodecaster Pro 1, because it's so much simpler connecting the iPhone w/ the audio jack. I've attempted using the RCP2 for spaces with the SC-15, and I was able to get audio back into the headset connected to the RC, but the audio the audience / other listeners in the space heard back from me was awful (which shouldn't be the case for the SM7B). I've asked my Twitter following (which is up to nearly 600,000) and zero people have been able to give me a clear and easy answer for how to make the RCP2 work with spaces. If you could figure this out and make an easy to follow tutorial for it, you wouldn't just be my hero, you'd be helping out a massive community of users that feels stuck in the same spot. Happy to help you figure out how to get on / host Twitter Spaces if you need to as well! - @cryptokaleo

[@realcryptokaleo]

also I'm sure it's something you've already answered in one of these videos and it's just my incompetence that hasn't let me figure it out lol, so I appreciate your patience

[@waltjennette]

So you're running the RCP2 into your iPhone using the SC-15 Cable? What is the headset for?

[@lygensmortgage]

Thanks !

[@KieraArthanegara-ee4on]

Great video! Please help, do you know if this would work on Rode Caster Pro. I don’t have Rode Caster 2

[@waltjennette]

You can use the TRRS port on the original RCP. The reason I had to make this video is because they took that port away.

[@mldsphotography]

I have a question, does this works on the rodecaset pro 1 as well?

[@thethirdrailchannel]

Your video on connecting the Rode Videomic II to your iPhone set me back over $50 big ones on cables from B&H! Yo! And you're right, a "regular" USB/Lightning cable won't work. I suspect they've made their cables sorta like a "null modem" cable with some pin/wiring swaps.

[@waltjennette]

I'm not sure if that's good or bad. Lol. Hopefully, you're saying you got both the SC15 and the SC19 and they both work as they should.

[@thethirdrailchannel]

@@waltjennette They'll be delivered tomorrow. And it's all good. I enjoy your channel.

[@lifeontheverge]

The caller I am speaking to is getting a full volume repeat of everything she says on here end - whether using AirPods, Speaker, etc. She hears me fine from the RC pro 2 and I get a clean recording signal from her. But she get's a full volume echo of everything SHE says - not me (the host). She hears me fine. Anyone have any idea what's going on on her end to cause this? Mix minus is set on the bluetooth channel of the RCP2.

[@RISEN_MISFIT_ASMR]

Question: first off great content! New subscriber.. when we get the cable we need and we connect our phone to rodecaster to record.. do we have to hit record and then record on our phone or just on our phone n will the phone will use the mice as an external

[@waltjennette]

You don’t have to hit record on the Rodecaster. Only on the phone! Thanks for watching and great question

[@RISEN_MISFIT_ASMR]

@@waltjennette sweet!! Just ordered the cable off the link u had at the bottom

@@RISEN_MISFIT_ASMR Cool beans! Hope everything works for you!

[@garythomas3351]

Can I record the songs l record on the roadcaster pro ll to my app on my iPhone or where do l send my songs from the RodeCaster to my iPhone

[@waltjennette]

You should be able to record directly on the phone. Or use something like the Rode Capture App or Blackmagic Camera App so you can select the Audio device you want to use.

[@DJGemStar]

Will this also work for Androids(USB-C) and can I stream to tie Tok live?

[@waltjennette]

In theory, it should! You should be able to go straight USB C to Android

[@denismeury5044]

And for iPhone 15 the cable is SC16 and SC17 ?

[@waltjennette]

If you have the iPhone 15, then that's USB C! So you'll need the Rode SC16 or SC17. Anything before then still uses the Lightning port, so you'll need a Rode SC15 or SC19. Remember, though, you cannot record phone calls with iPhone via the cable. You have to do it over Bluetooth!

[@Vanderful_life]

Yo! can you stream with this set up as well ? or you would need rode streamer

[@waltjennette]

Yup! I use it all the time! iPhone and RCP2 and you can make magic. You can go straight into Facebook, KZbin or IG or you can use your iPhone like I do as a continuity camera with my Mac Mini or MacBook Pro

[@cayman2010]

Could this work for a live stream using it as your webcam or 2nd camera?

[@waltjennette]

Yes it could!

[@WenWorkman]

So that means I can live stream from my iPhone ?

[@waltjennette]

That’s correct!

[@sharpcee621]

Thanks for the videos man. I picked up the sc19. I’m trying to record video on the iPhone but want to make sure the Audio is being routed through the Rodecaster. Can I use the native iPhone video app or do I need something else?

[@The610Problem]

Rode reporter app … use the 2nd usb slot

[@KingofTheHillPodcasts]

I’m trying record a podcast with video. I have the rodecaster 1 not the 2. with TWO mics. If I connect my iPhone for video with the cable will both Mics simultaneously be the output for the video? so I don’t have to struggle to syncs the audio and video clips together in a software?

[@waltjennette]

Yes. Connecting the phone directly ot the rodecaster prevents you having to sync anything in post.

[@Nathanthelow]

can you do with rodecaster pro?

[@waltjennette]

The original? Yes. It has a dedicated TRRS feed for your phone

[@SSJNino]

Does it work for android phones?

[@waltjennette]

Your cable would be different b/c I'm assuming you're using USB C to USB C at this point. So you'd want the SC-17 or SC-22. amzn.to/3N1Poyi

[@denismeury5044]

Bonjour Walter, Is it possible to connect the nth-100m headset to the rodecaster Duo using a 3.25mm input for listening and an XLR input for the headset microphone? Thank you so much.

[@waltjennette]

Yes, you can connect the NTH-100M to the RØDECaster Pro II using the included splitter cable and a 3.5mm to XLR adaptor that converts phantom power to plug in power, such as the VXLR Pro or VXLR+. Plug the end of the splitter cable with the microphone symbol into the VXLR Pro, then connect this to any of the RØDECaster Pro II’s XLR inputs and ensure phantom power is turned on for that channel. Then plug the other end of the cable into one of the RØDECaster Pro II’s headphone outputs using the supplied ¼-inch to 3.5mm adaptor to monitor your audio.
