Professional podcast studio equipment in Barcelona
All the podcast studio equipment you need is already set up: three Sony FX30 cameras, RØDE PodMic microphones, a RØDECaster Pro II desk, a Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro ISO switcher and Nanlite lighting. On top of that, a technician operates it for you throughout the session.
Cameras: podcast studio equipment for video
We record with three Sony FX30 cameras, from Sony’s cinema line, shooting in 4K. Each one has its own shot: a wide, a medium and a close-up. That way the conversation can be cut with shot changes, like a TV show.
The three cameras record at the same time and, at the end, you take away each feed separately. As a result, you have material for the full episode and also for the short social media videos.
Sound: the microphones and desk in our podcast studio equipment
Sound is what people notice most in a podcast. That is why each person has their own microphone and every voice is recorded on a separate track.
RØDE PodMic microphones
Dynamic microphones designed for the spoken voice, on floor boom arms. They reject the surrounding noise and also look good on camera.
RØDECaster Pro II mixer
It records each microphone on its own track. Therefore, if someone speaks more quietly or laughs loudly, it can be fixed without affecting anyone else.
DJI Mic Mini 2
Wireless microphones that record a backup track. So if something fails, the sound is not lost.
If you are thinking of buying your own microphone, we explain the differences in our guide on choosing a podcast microphone (in Spanish).
Live multi-camera directing with our podcast studio equipment
The three cameras feed into a Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro ISO switcher. With it, the technician changes shots live while you record, so you leave the studio with the episode practically cut.
The ATEM also saves each camera separately. That is why, even if you record with live directing, you can always re-edit later. You can see the switcher specifications on the Blackmagic Design website.
Nanlite lighting in the podcast studio equipment
Light is what makes a recording look homemade or professional. In both studios we work with Nanlite lights and diffusers that soften the image. In addition, the technician adjusts the light to each set-up, so everyone looks good in all three shots.
On the other hand, each studio has its own atmosphere. The Dark Studio uses warm, directed light on a black background, whereas the Bright Studio has a more open, natural light.
What you take away after the recording
When the session ends we hand over the video and sound files. Specifically, you receive:
Video from each camera
The feed from all three cameras separately, so you can edit the episode as you like.
Audio from each microphone
One track per voice, plus the overall mix from the sound desk.
Cut or edited episode
If you choose live directing or editing, we also deliver the finished episode.
