First Impressions of the New Rodecaster Duo | Should you get one?

The new Rodecaster Duo packs a massive amount of power into a small form factor. In fact it has ALL of the power of the Rodecaster Pro 2, except it XLR Mic inputs and headphone outputs instead of 4. That said it does have a headset input/output which the RCP doesn't have. Add to this the fact that you can pair a wireless mic directly with the Duo, this really is an awesome device for content creation and virtual presentations. In this live I'll share my first impressions (spoiler alert: I absolutely LOVE it!) and also give a full run through of the features and compare it to the RCP2 and Streamer X. Full Discloser: RØDE did send me the Rodecaster Duo for review. (Thank you ‪@rodemic‬ ). That said, I knew this would be the perfect Rodecaster for me as soon as I saw it announced and would have bought one any way. It certainly has not disappointed!
