Vocaster Two user guide
Hardware features
Vocaster Two allows you to connect either one or two high quality microphones to a computer running
macOS or Windows: this will let you achieve a much better audio recording than you would get by using the
microphone built into most laptops or tablets.
The microphone inputs accept a range of microphone models, including both dynamic and condenser types.
If you are using a condenser microphone, Vocaster Two can provide the phantom power (48V) it needs to
operate.
The microphone signals route to your computer’s audio recording software via the USB-C connection at up to
24-bit resolution, 48 kHz sample rate. (24-bit/48 kHz is the standard for most podcasts.)
If you don’t already have recording software, we recommend Hindenburg. This is included in the software
package available to you free of charge as a Vocaster owner.
A 3.5 mm jack socket allows you to connect a phone to Vocaster Two: alternatively, you can connect to the
phone using Bluetooth. A second, similar socket allows connection to a video camera.
The phone connector is a TRRS: TRRS means you get audio both in and out of the phone, so you can record
audio from the phone, and the phone can also hear the other audio sources you are recording to your show.
Vocaster Two has outputs for both headphones and speakers: two front panel ¼’ TRS sockets for host and
guest headphones, and two rear panel ¼’ TRS sockets for connection to speakers.
The top panel has a multi-function knob for controlling the gain of either microphone, or two separate knobs -
one for each pair of headphones - for setting listening level.
The ‘Host’ control also sets the volume in external monitor speakers, if you are using them. The microphone
control is surrounded by two halo meters showing the microphone signal level and a separate halo displaying
the gain setting.
Two sets of three illuminated buttons select the microphone input’s Auto Gain function, activate its Enhance
feature and mute each microphone.
There are also LEDs to show when phantom power, a Bluetooth connection, and the USB connection are
active.
