Rode's newest device will come in handy for, well, streamers. The Rode Streamer X combines an audio interface with an external capture card. You can connect XLR and line-level microphones and headsets using a built-in Rode Revolution preamp to give you the needed power. The device can also capture and stream footage at 4K at 30 frames per second or 2K at 60 fps. It offers video passthrough at up to 4K at 60 fps or 2K at 120 fps.

The console has a set of four customizable buttons that you can set up to trigger specific actions or sounds on your computer. You can connect the Streamer X to two separate PCs simultaneously via its USB-C ports. The Streamer X is fully compatible with Rode's suite of software tools, including Rode Central, Rode Connect, and Unify. There are no pricing details yet, but it's launching in a few weeks alongside the Rodecaster Duo.
