Roland BRIDGE CAST — dual‑bus gaming / streaming audio mixer / interface

BRIDGE CAST

BRIDGE CAST is a desktop USB‑C audio interface and streaming mixer from Roland designed for gamers, streamers, podcasters, and content creators. It acts as a central hub for microphones, game/computer audio, background music, and headphones — letting you build and control two separate audio mixes (one for yourself, one for your audience) in real time.

 Key Features & Capabilities

• Dual‑bus mixing (Personal Mix + Stream Mix) — you can have one mix for your own monitoring (e.g. prioritizing game audio + chat) and a separate mix optimized for your viewers (with balanced mic, music, effects).

• Broadcast‑grade XLR mic input + phantom power — supports quality studio mics directly, for clean, high‑fidelity vocals or commentary without needing extra preamps.

• Vocal and audio processing built in — includes EQ, compressor, noise suppressor, de‑esser, reverb, and a “voice changer” effect (derived from Roland’s VT line). Good for clean vocals or fun voice transformations.

• Support for multiple audio sources — game audio, chat, music, system sounds, external AUX, all manageable via knobs/controls for volume, EQ, and mixing.

• USB‑C connectivity (PC, Mac, consoles, mobile) — works with computers and many consoles; works for gamers or streamers on PC or console.

• Headphones / headset output + line out — lets you monitor privately or route audio to speakers, depending on setup.

• User‑friendly hardware controls — physical knobs and buttons to adjust levels, change mixes, mute mic/headphones — good for live or on‑the‑fly adjustments.

• Ability to mix in background music or sound effects — through an app integration (you can load music or effects, useful for streams, podcasts, or gaming sessions).

• Loopback function — you can route computer audio + mic + other inputs into a combined stream output for easy capture by streaming software or voice chat.
