Book a podcast studio or event setup in 24 hours

Need a studio for your podcast or sound/lighting for an event fast? Here’s a simple guide to get it done in a day.

Part 1 — Podcast studios (what to book, what it costs)

Pick your setup

• Studio session (walk in, record, walk out): Best quality, least hassle.

• Mobile kit (they come to you): Good if you need your office/venue as the backdrop.

What to look for

• 2–4 mics (e.g., Shure SM7B), multi-cam if you want video, in-room operator, and same-day file handoff.

• Add editing if you want a ready-to-publish episode and shorts.

  
  

Fast checklist (copy/paste into your booking)

• Date/time, number of guests, audio-only or video too

• Raw files vs edited episode + number of shorts

• Deliverables (resolution, captions, thumbnails)

• Turnaround time and revision count

• Usage (organic, paid ads), NDA if needed

• Parking/access contact

Part 2 — Event equipment (sound, screens, lights)

Match the kit to your room & headcount

• Small talks/activations (≤50 people): Compact PA or Bluetooth column speakers + 1–2 mics.

• SME events (50–150): Column array or 12" active speakers + sub, 2–4 wireless mics, small mixer.

• Bigger rooms/expos: Pro PA + stage box, LED screen or video wall, stage wash + effect lights.

Event booking checklist

• Venue size & audience count

• Mic plan (host, Q&A, panel), stage layout

• Screen size/placement, content inputs (HDMI/USB)

• Lighting look: clean wash vs “wow” effects

• Delivery/load-in times, power, permits

• On-site tech support and emergency phone
