We do not provide in-house podcasting equipment (microphones, mixers, or recorders) at this time, so you will need to bring your own gear.
Please also note that the studio is not 100% soundproof. While it is a quiet environment, you may hear occasional ambient noise from the neighbouring units.
For the best results, we recommend using dynamic microphones (which pick up less background noise than condenser mics) as they are much better at filtering out room ambiance.

For the safety of our guests and the protection of the space, the studio is equipped with 24/7 security cameras. To respect your privacy, these cameras do not record audio and are strictly used for insurance purposes and to monitor for damages or neglectful behavior.
Please note that the studio is one open space; for your privacy, we also provide a pop-up changing tent for all outfit changes. Cameras are never monitored in real-time unless an issue arises, ensuring your creative process remains uninterrupted.
