Roland Bridge Cast X Dual Bus Streaming Mixer & Video Capture

Elevate your streaming content with BRIDGE CAST X, a compact, all-in-one desktop solution filled with hands-on controls and Roland’s acclaimed pro AV features. Say goodbye to messy add-ons and unify your workflow with multiple connections for gaming consoles, computers, cameras, and audio devices. Then crush the competition with epic features like dual sound mixes, broadcast-quality XLR mic support, voice processing, royalty-free music and sound effects, assignable control pads, and so much more.

From online gaming to podcasting, vlogging, and other video content, BRIDGE CAST X keeps you focused on creating rather than fussing with cables and different pieces of specialised gear. The integrated design simplifies connections and reduces clutter, while the intuitive interface lets you smoothly mix audio and control the action in the flow. And with multiple USB-C and HDMI ports,* you can connect all your devices and avoid having to repatch every time you want to change gears for the day’s stream.

Great vocals start with a great microphone. Connect any broadcast-quality XLR dynamic or condenser mic to BRIDGE CAST X without the need for external preamps or mic activators. A headset mic is also supported via the mini headphone jack. BRIDGE CAST X is a dual-bus audio mixer, so you can operate two mixes at once. Independently adjust levels on a personal headphone mix while delivering a unique blend to your audience. Balance mic level, team chats, gameplay sounds, and background music for pro mixes that keep viewers engaged. Transform your voice with onboard processing derived from Roland’s famous VT voice transformers. To take on a new character, adjust the pitch and formant to alter your age or gender—or even sound like an alien.

BRIDGE CAST X also includes pro processing tools to enhance your chat stream, including EQ, compression, a low-cut filter to soften pesky plosives, and a de-esser that cleans up harsh “S” tones. Curb background distractions with the noise suppressor and launch your voice into space with the great-sounding reverb. Immerse yourself in virtual surround sound with 5.1 or 7.1 HDMI spatial headphones audio backed by advanced Roland technology. Using the BRIDGE CAST app, you can even adjust the angles of the virtual speaker array to create your ideal surround sound experience. If you don’t need video connectivity, be sure to check out BRIDGE CAST. This sister model includes powerful BRIDGE CAST X features in an audio-focused design.

With the intuitive BRIDGE CAST X panel, it’s easy to manage streams in real time. Adjust your audio mix with dedicated knobs and buttons. Assign up to 30 OBS commands, sound effects, and music shortcuts to the six control pads to launch them midstream. And use the bottom row of buttons to navigate pages and access additional shortcuts. Snag a competitive edge by creating up to five custom Game EQ presets. For example, you can boost the volume to highlight game-critical audio cues, like enemy footsteps in a first-person shooter. Once you’ve dialled in your settings, save them to onboard profiles and instantly summon them with the push of a button. Dive deeper into audio mixing, signal routing, and customization with the BRIDGE CAST app. Set mic and audio parameters, configure Game EQ presets, and explore deeper features as you stream. Reassign hardware controls and recall favourite configurations for various games and audiences. You can even customise the hardware by assigning LED colours to change up the look and highlight the controls in low lighting.

Adding royalty-free background music and sound effects to your streams has never been easier with Roland’s BGM Cast.
