Focusrite Vocaster One – Podcasting Audio Interface for Solo Content Creators

OVERVIEW

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

Studio Sound in Seconds

Auto Gain sets your levels with the click of a button, with more than enough gain on tap for the most popular broadcast mics — no booster needed.

Find Your Voice

The Enhance button reveals the true quality of your voice. Four podcaster-approved presets bring out the best in any voice in one click, and you can customise your own with Vocaster Hub.

Cut it Out!

Don’t let coughs and sneezes — or any other unexpected interruptions — mess up your podcast. Hit the mute button and silence the mic until you’re ready to go again.

Take it Away

Vocaster One is small, light, and powered by your computer, so you can join the conversation wherever it is.

Sound as Good as Your Video Looks

You’re one cable away from adding Vocaster’s studio sound to your vlog. No need to sync up in post, just plug in and hit the red button.

Add a Professional Touch

Stream pre-recorded segments such as intros, outros, calls or any other audio you can think of from your computer with two sets of stereo loopback. Keep the story going and sound just like you’re in a broadcast studio.

It’s Your Call

Bring in guests over the phone with one cable and capture the whole conversation, or record high-quality music or other audio from your device, seamlessly.

Everything You Need

With Hindenburg PRO for six months, and six months of Acast Influencer to publish, you’re ready to get your show out there.

Your Very Own Control Room

Get your show sounding great with Vocaster’s mixer. Just like a broadcast studio, Vocaster Hub lets you set your levels, enhance your sound, route audio from your phone and computer, and more. Use Enhance Edit to open up greater control of the Compression, EQ, and Rumble Reduction for each preset. Hear exactly what your listeners will hear with Show Mix – even without your computer.

It’s Never Been so Simple

Our Easy Start tool is the best in the business and gets you up and running smoothly. Vocaster is so easy to set up, you’ll be on-air in no time. Three years of warranty and our award-winning 24/7/365 support keep you there.

Better for Everyone

With Vocaster, we’ve taken big steps forward in reducing the impact our interfaces have on the planet. We have carefully chosen components, biodegradable and recyclable packaging, and used more than half the plastics from recycled sources.

Vocaster Hub works with screen readers, allowing control of Vocaster’s key features, so there are more ways to get on air than ever before.
