FAQs

Do I need to install drivers for the Vocaster Two?

No, the Vocaster Two is class-compliant, meaning it works with most modern operating systems (Mac, Windows, iPad) without requiring separate driver installations.

Can I connect two microphones at once?

Yes, the Vocaster Two features two XLR microphone inputs, allowing you to connect and record two microphones simultaneously.

What is Auto Gain?

Auto Gain is a feature that automatically sets the optimal recording level for your voice. You press the button, speak, and the interface adjusts itself to prevent clipping or excessively quiet audio.

How do I connect my phone for calls or audio playback?

You can connect your phone using Bluetooth for wireless audio streaming or a single TRRS cable for a wired connection. Both methods allow you to capture audio from your phone or make calls.

What software is included with the Vocaster Two?

The Vocaster Two includes Hindenburg LITE (with a Hindenburg PRO trial), a 6-month Acast Influencer plan, a 3-month SquadCast Pro + Video trial, and a 6-month Ampify Studio Premium trial.

Does the Vocaster Two require external power?

While it can be powered via USB bus power (5V @ 900mA), an external 5V @ 1000mA power supply (sold separately) is recommended for optimal performance and stability.

What is the warranty period for the Vocaster Two?

The Focusrite Vocaster Two comes with a 3-Year Focusrite Warranty.

Troubleshooting

Device not recognized by computer

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected at both ends. Try a different USB port. If using bus power, ensure the external power supply is connected and try powering it on. Restart your computer.

No audio input from microphone

Check that the microphone is properly connected to the XLR input. Ensure the microphone is powered on if it requires phantom power (though Vocaster Two provides this, some mics have their own switches). Verify that the gain knob for the corresponding channel is turned up. Check mute status in Vocaster Hub.

Low audio output volume

Adjust the master volume and headphone volume knobs. Ensure the gain for your microphone input is set appropriately. Check the output levels within your recording software.

Bluetooth connection issues

Ensure your phone's Bluetooth is enabled and discoverable. Put the Vocaster Two into Bluetooth pairing mode. If problems persist, try forgetting the device on your phone and re-pairing. Ensure no other Bluetooth devices are causing interference.

Audio from computer not routing through Loopback

Confirm that the Stereo Loopback function is enabled in the Vocaster Hub software and that your computer's audio output is set to the Vocaster Two.
