PASport VO replaces all those products, saving you over $2000 in the process and preventing multiple setup headaches. Like most Centrance products, PASport VO offers outstanding ease of use, is built tough and sounds great.
Famous Musicians use Centrance products to record album tracks. Top Voice-over actors use it to record on-air spots and promos. Radio journalists use it to broadcast shows and interviews. Houses of Worship use it to stream services on Facebook and Instagram. Podcasters use it to record all over the world. Our products are Easy to Use, Built Tough and Sound Great.
Video introduction
Benefits
Dual Mics
Professional VO artists use more than one mic for recording, like a shotgun for promos and an LDC for narration. PASport VO features two amazing mic preamps so you can plug in two mics and just push a button to switch between them. With 65dB of gain, 48V, HPF, and mic muting, you can use any dynamic, condenser or ribbon mic with confidence.
Client Patch
Need to patch the client into your session? Easy! The dual USB interface lets you setup a zoom call with a client while recording to your favorite DAW. Thanks to the built-in Mix-minus the client will hear your entire session without the annoying feedback. You can even record client’s narrative to a separate track, a great feature for podcasts and interviews.

Flexible Power
PASport VO takes power from USB, which is convenient and portable. It has two USB jacks and either one may be used for power. If recording to a computer, use the left jack and a single USB cable. If recording to the phone, flip a switch and use the right USB jack for power — avoid draining your phone’s battery!
Precise Level Control
Nobody likes the sound of clipping. PASport VO helps you maintain correct recording levels. A bright, 3-color LED meter shows your levels at a glance. The dual vocal compressor uses optical technology for smooth, invisible action. And for extra safety, you can record a -12dB track to protect from clipping during the more animated moments.

Studio or Road
PASport VO is built for studio recording. Tactile analog controls make adjustments quick and easy. Rarely used switches are recessed to avoid nudging. You can mute your monitors and listen over headphones. But the lightweight aluminum case makes PASport VO travel-friendly as well. The handy 1/4″ camera screw on the back lets you use tripods, mic stands, clamps, etc. Work from anywhere!
