OVERVIEW

Overview

Introduction

Welcome to your new Vocaster One audio

interface. Vocaster One is designed for

podcasters, vloggers, voiceover artists,

streamers, audiobook creators, and more.

With Vocaster One and the included Vocaster

Hub software you can record studio quality

audio to your computer and camera.

We’ve designed Vocaster One for users of all

experience levels. With features such as Auto

Gain and Enhance you can achieve clear and

consistent recordings quickly.

The Vocaster Hub software is designed with

simplicity in mind. It provides easy access for

controlling Vocaster’s settings, and gives you

full control of your show’s mix as you send

it to your choice of recording and streaming

software.

Connect Vocaster One to a computer via its

USB-C port and the cable provided. You can

either live-stream audio in real time, or record

sound for later edit and upload.

Vocaster One also allows two-way connection

to a phone, letting you record interviews or

other audio from your phone to your camera

or computer. You can also record to the

audio track of a camera in perfect sync with

your video. You can monitor your stream or

recording process on either headphones or

loudspeakers.

The Vocaster One interface and the included

Vocaster Hub control software support both

Mac and Windows.

Vocaster One is also compatible with Apple

iPads with a USB-C port, so you can take

advantage of the additional portability and

convenience the tablet format provides.

If you can’t nd what you need in this User

Guide, please visit support.focusrite.com,

which has a Getting Started section, setup

guides, and technical support.

A video series explaining how to set up and

use Vocaster One is available from our Get

Started pages.

Hardware features

Vocaster One allows you to connect a high

quality microphone to a computer running

macOS or Windows: this lets you achieve a

much better audio recording than you would

get by using the microphone built into most

laptops or tablets.

The microphone input accepts a range of

microphone models, including both dynamic

and condenser types. If you are using a

condenser microphone, Vocaster One can

provide the phantom power (48V) it needs

to operate.

The microphone signal routes to your

computer’s audio recording software via the

USB-C connection at up to 24-bit resolution,

and 48 kHz sample rate. (24-bit/48 kHz is the

standard for most podcasts.)

If you don’t already have recording software,

we recommend Hindenburg. This is included

in the software package available to you free

of charge as a Vocaster owner.

A 3.5 mm jack socket allows you to connect

a phone to Vocaster One: a second, similar

socket allows connection to a video camera.

The phone connector is a TRRS: TRRS means

you get audio both in and out of the phone,

so you can record audio from the phone,

and the phone can also hear the other audio

sources you are recording to your show.

Vocaster One has outputs for both

headphones and speakers: a front panel ¼’

TRS socket for headphones and two rear

panel ¼’ TRS sockets for connection

to speakers.

The top panel has knobs for microphone gain

and listening level. The microphone control

is surrounded by ‘halo’ meters, showing both

the microphone signal level and the gain

setting. Three illuminated buttons start the

Auto Gain function, activate the Enhance

feature and mute the microphone. There are

also LEDs to show when phantom power and

the USB connection are active.

In the Box

Along with your Vocaster One you will nd:

• USB cable, Type ‘A’ to Type ‘C’

• Getting Started Information (printed

inside the box)

• Important Safety Information

As a Vocaster One owner, you are also

entitled to a selection of third-party software,

including the Hindenburg DAW (Digital Audio

Workstation) recording application. Go to

focusrite.com/Vocaster to see

what’s available.

System requirements

The easiest way to check your computer’s

operating system (OS) is compatible with

the Vocaster One is to use our Help Centre’s

compatibility articles.

As new OS versions become available over

time, you can continue to check for further

compatibility information by searching our

Help Centre at support.focusrite.com.

Easy Start Tool. To use this, connect Vocaster One to your computer

with the USB cable supplied, and power it on by pressing the power

button next to the rear panel USB port.

iPad Users:

NOTE: Before connecting Vocaster One to

your iPad, we recommend you follow the

‘Getting Started’ section above to ensure

your hardware is up to date through

Vocaster Hub.

To connect your Vocaster One to an

iPadOS device you need:

• iPad with USB-C port

• USB-C to USB-C cable

(or the included cable and

an Apple USB-A to C adaptor*)

*This method may require a separate USB hub to

provide enough power to your Vocaster.

To make the connections:

1. Connect one end of the

USB Type-C to C cable (or adaptor) to

your iPad.

2. Connect the other end of the

USB type-C to your Vocaster One’s USB

port.

3. Connect your headphones or monitor

speakers to the Vocaster One.

Sound from the iPad routes to Vocaster

One’s outputs. You can route the

microphone and other sources connected

to the inputs of Vocaster One to iOS apps

that support audio recording.

GETTING STARTED

All users:

If you have any issues using the Easy Start

tool, open the le More Info & FAQs, where

you should be able to nd answers to

your questions.

NOTE: When you install Vocaster Hub on a

Windows computer, the driver needed by

Vocaster One installs automatically. Vocaster

Hub and the Vocaster Windows driver are

always available to download at any time,

even without registering: see ‘Manual

Registration’ below.

Manual Registration

If you decide to register your Vocaster One

later you can do so at register. You need to

enter the Unique Product Number (UPN)

manually: this number is on the base of the

interface itself, and can also be found on the

barcode label on the side of the box.

We recommend you download and install our

Vocaster Hub software application, as this

unlocks the full potential of the interface. You

can download Vocaster Hub at any time from

downloads.focusrite.com.

Audio Setup in your DAW

Vocaster One is compatible with any

Windows-based Digital Audio Workstation

(this is the software you use to record and is

referred to as a ‘DAW’) that supports ASIO

or WDM, or any Mac-based DAW that uses

Core Audio. After following the Easy Start

procedure (see page 5), you can start

using Vocaster One with the DAW of

your choice.

Vocaster One lets you record all the sources

separately via the USB connection, for mixing

later, but also has a Show Mix input which is a

stereo mix from Vocaster Hub software.

To allow you to get started if you do not

already have a DAW application installed on

your computer, Hindenburg is included; this is

available to you once you’ve registered your

Vocaster One. If you need help installing this,

please visit our Getting Started pages here,

where a video tutorial is available.

Operating instructions for Hindenburg can

be found in the application’s Help les, or at

hindenburg.com/academy.

Please note - your DAW may not

automatically select Vocaster One as its

default Input/Output (I/O) device. In this

case, you must manually select Vocaster One/

Focusrite USB ASIO as the driver on your

DAW’s Audio Setup* page. Please refer to

your DAW’s documentation (or Help les) if

you are unsure where to select the ASIO or

Core Audio driver.

*Typical names. Terminology may differ slightly

between DAWs
