Roland BRC-FF BRIDGE CAST FINAL FANTASY XIV Special Edition Gaming Mixer

Roland BRIDGE CAST FINAL FANTASY XIV Edition Dual-Bus Gaming Mixer

The Roland BRIDGE CAST FINAL FANTASY XIV Edition Gaming Mixer is a special-edition USB audio mixer developed in collaboration with Square Enix. Featuring exclusive FINAL FANTASY XIV artwork, authentic in-game sound effects, dual-bus audio mixing, and 32-bit floating-point processing, it gives gamers and streamers independent control over their personal listening experience and broadcast audio.

Designed for FINAL FANTASY XIV players, livestreamers, content creators, and gaming enthusiasts, this exclusive gaming audio mixer combines professional audio functionality with artwork inspired by the popular online role-playing game. Its custom top panel features original illustrations of Alpha the Chocobo and Omega by character designer Toshiyuki Itahana, along with the recognizable FINAL FANTASY XIV meteor emblem. The illuminated audio controls feature game-inspired colors, including blue for Tanks, green for Healers, and red for DPS roles. Two built-in sound effects recreate the Duty Finder matching notification and F.A.T.E. commencement sound, allowing users to trigger familiar game audio during voice chats and livestreams.

Beyond its exclusive appearance, the BRIDGE CAST FINAL FANTASY XIV Edition incorporates the professional audio capabilities of Roland's BRIDGE CAST platform. A high-performance microphone preamplifier provides up to 75 dB of gain, while 48V phantom power supports compatible condenser microphones. Dedicated digital signal processing (DSP) handles voice effects, audio enhancement, and mixing without relying on the computer's CPU for those processing tasks. Dual independent audio buses allow users to create separate personal monitoring and livestream mixes, while virtual surround processing, customizable 10-band Game EQ, and Roland VT-series Voice Changer technology provide additional control over gaming audio and voice communication.
