Podcast studio with broadcast microphone in close-up

podcast studio hire

Four mics, four cameras, zero excuses for bad audio.

A purpose-built podcast room with a proper four-mic setup, broadcast-grade lighting, and a multi-cam capture you don't have to babysit. Plug in, hit record, leave with a video podcast that looks like it was made in 2026.

The podcast suite is purpose-built for the modern video podcast format — four guests round a table, four cameras, broadcast lighting, properly-treated audio. Nothing about it is improvised: the room is sized for the format, the mics are at exactly the right height, the lights are tuned so every guest gets even key. You walk in, sit down, and within ten minutes you're recording. There are no "can you just adjust your mic up a bit" moments because we built the whole space around stopping that from happening.

How it works

booking podcast studio

From enquiry to delivery — here's exactly how the process runs.

book the slot

Hourly, half-day or full-day — most clients book a 4-hour half-day which fits a full episode plus rebuild for the next one.

walk-in setup

We test mic levels, frame the cameras, brief the talent. Takes about 10 minutes. You don't touch the tech unless you want to.

record + take the files

Hit record. When you're done, stems and video files land on a USB drive within 15 minutes. Edit yourself or pay our editor £180/hour to do it.

In the price

what's included

No upsells in the small print. The headline rate covers the kit and the room — add-ons are listed separately and you only pay for what you book.

4× Shure SM7B microphones on boom arms — broadcast-standard cardioid dynamics, the industry default for podcast voice work.
Rodecaster Pro II — multi-track recording with per-mic processing, sound effects pads, and direct phone/Zoom call routing for remote guests.
Multi-cam capture (3–4 cameras) — Sony FX3 wide + 2× FX30 close-ups, recording independently for proper multi-angle edits.
Broadcast lighting — calibrated key, fill and back lights so every guest looks consistent on camera.
Clip-on lavs available — Rode Wireless Pro lavs if you'd prefer over the SM7Bs (or for moving-around format shows).
Stems delivered same-day on USB — individual mic tracks, video files per camera, plus a mixed-down stereo master.
Why book this with us

reasons to pick echelon for podcast studio

Purpose-built for the video podcast format — every detail (mic height, table size, camera angles, lighting) is fixed in place because we shoot here ourselves.
Four properly-treated mics on broadcast stands — no room hum, no plosives, no need for post-production EQ heroics.
Multi-cam recording included — three to four cameras running independently, ready for proper multi-angle editing.
Same-day stems on USB — leave with everything you need to edit, no waiting on file transfers.
RTMP-ready for livestreaming — go live to LinkedIn, YouTube, X or your own platform without any extra setup.
Editor available — same-day edit possible if you want to walk out with an episode already cut for social.
Recorded 4 episodes in a single afternoon, all with multi-cam capture and proper audio. The editor turned them around inside a week with social cuts. Felt closer to a TV studio than a podcast.
