What Equipment We Use in Our Podcast Studio

When people start exploring podcasting, one of the first questions that often comes up is about equipment. Microphones, cameras, mixers and lighting setups can quickly feel overwhelming, especially for creators who are just starting their podcast journey.

From our experience, the equipment itself is only one part of the equation. A professional podcast studio is not just defined by individual pieces of gear, but by how everything works together to create a smooth and reliable recording environment.

At CPH Content Creators, the goal has always been to build a studio setup that balances professional production quality with a simple and efficient workflow. Instead of constantly changing equipment, the focus is on a setup that consistently produces clear sound and visually strong podcast recordings.

A soundproof environment designed for conversation

One of the most important parts of any podcast studio is the room itself. Sound reflections from walls and ceilings can quickly affect how clear a recording sounds if the environment is not properly controlled.

Our podcast studio in Copenhagen is built as a soundproof recording environment. This helps reduce outside noise and control reflections inside the room so that voices remain clear and focused.

A controlled acoustic environment is often one of the biggest differences between recording at home and recording in a professional podcast studio. When the room is designed for audio recording, conversations sound more natural and balanced.

Microphones built for clear voice recordings

Audio clarity is essential for any podcast. In our studio we use Shure SM7B microphones, which are widely known for their ability to capture voices in a warm and focused way.

The studio setup supports up to four microphones, allowing conversations with multiple hosts or guests without compromising audio quality. Each participant has their own microphone so voices remain clear and balanced throughout the recording.

Combined with the soundproof room, this setup allows the conversation to feel natural and easy to listen to.

Cameras designed for video podcasts

Video podcasts have become increasingly popular, and many podcasts today are distributed through platforms such as YouTube and social media.

To support this format, our studio uses Sony FX30 cameras, allowing us to capture the conversation from multiple perspectives. The studio setup includes up to three cameras, which makes it possible to create dynamic visuals during conversations with several participants.

Different camera angles help keep the video engaging and allow us to capture reactions and interactions between hosts and guests.

Lighting that creates a consistent visual style

Lighting plays a major role in how professional a podcast appears on camera. Even strong camera equipment depends on well-controlled lighting to produce a clean and balanced image.

Our lighting setup includes three softboxes that create soft and even lighting on the participants. In addition, four LED lights are used to add color and atmosphere to the background, allowing the studio to maintain a consistent visual identity.

This setup helps ensure that every episode recorded in the studio maintains a professional and recognizable look.

Recording workflow designed for efficiency

Behind the scenes, recordings are managed through the RØDECaster Video, which allows both audio and video to be handled in a streamlined workflow.

Because the system allows us to control cameras and audio during recording, much of the production process already happens while the podcast is being recorded. This helps reduce the amount of work needed after the session.

The result is a more efficient production process and fast delivery of podcast recordings, which is something many creators and companies appreciate when they produce content regularly.

A studio built for efficient podcast production

Over time, many podcasters realize that the biggest advantage of recording in a professional studio is efficiency.

Instead of setting up microphones, adjusting cameras and configuring lighting before every episode, a podcast studio provides a ready-to-use environment where everything is already prepared.

For creators and companies who prefer not to build their own setup, choosing to rent a podcast studio often makes the entire production process simpler and more consistent.

Conclusion

While podcast equipment plays an important role in production quality, the real value of a studio comes from how the environment, technology and workflow work together.

At CPH Content Creators, our podcast studio in Copenhagen is designed to make recording both professional and efficient. With a soundproof room, up to four Shure SM7B microphones, up to three Sony FX30 cameras, a controlled lighting setup with softboxes and LED background lights, and recording through the RØDECaster Video, the studio provides everything needed to produce high-quality podcast content.

For creators and companies looking to rent a podcast studio, having access to a complete production environment makes it much easier to focus on what matters most: the conversation.
