PODCAST STUDIO
THE ROOM: The podcast room is a permanent set / studio designed to be turnkey when it comes to recording both audio and video. Ideal for podcasts with 1-4 talent, the space is warm, comfortable, climate controlled and sound treated to keep audio in and most noises out. The room comes with a large conference table, couch, state of the art microphones, headphones, decor, sound absorbing panels, a large LCD monitor, and multiple video record options. You can also customize the space by adding your own original logo to a wall, hang green screen fabric, or remove the table setting and replace with a more casual set up.
VIDEO MONITOR: A large LCD monitor with video and audio feed from our outside mix room is available. This allows talent in the room to reference source material, read from a teleprompter, or even have an external subject join in remotely via skype, zoom or other means. There is also a video tap to the monitor available in the same room so talent can send video signal from a device to share with their co-hosts during a recording.
SOUND ISOLATION AND TREATMENT: The room has been treated with noise canceling and sound absorbing foam, baffles, clouds and additional material. We control the environment next to and below the room and so there is little disruption in the space if ever anything at all. On record days we ensure there is nothing occurring in our adjoining spaces that could be intrusive. To the naked ear you can at times hear a footstep from above but nothing loud enough that ends up being picked up by our microphones. We use this room predominately for podcasts that require several talent (3 or more) and those wanting a more visually appealing aesthetic than say, a vocal booth. However, If you are looking to record 1-2 talent and are more audio conscious than visual, we recommend you use our vocal booth which is a true floating record room and located just down the hall from the podcast room.
HARDWARE: (1) PreSonus HP4 headphone volume control (2) Redco Audio Headphone boxes (1) Black Magic AETM Mini Pro ISO (video) *podcast room is controlled and connected to our Audio Suite A mix and control room.
STANDS & SEATING: Multiple mic stands and music stands are available in the room as well as conference chairs, a couch, sofa chairs, and stools.
MICROPHONES: (1) Neumann TLM 103 (2) Senheiser Shotgun ME66 (4) Neumann U87 - Additional microphones available upon request. We only use high quality state of the art equipment.
VIDEO: The room is equipped with three AI controlled OSBOT tiny 4k cameras and is our most cost effective video solution for those wanting to not only record audio but video for their podcast. These three cameras feed a switcher located in our audio suite / control room where a video engineer can record isolated video tracks as well as provide a line cut of your show. You can also upgrade your camera options to include more high-end models with prime lenses and other additional amenities. Want to see a sample of the osbot cameras at work in our studio? Click here.
LIGHTING: There is a single grid bar hanging above the center of the room where lighting fixtures can be hung from. We include two light panel softbox astra 1x1 fixtures with your rental that can also be pre-hung upon request.
