Cinematic 4K sensor
The 4K sensor supports sensitivity up to ISO 25,600, producing detailed images, natural skin tones and strong low-light performance. That means clean, consistent footage across wide shots, close-ups and every camera angle.
The Studio.
Purpose-built for visual podcasts. Comfortable, professional, and uncompromising on quality.
More than one recording space
Our studios.
Alongside our main video podcast set, TubbyStudios includes a dedicated control room and Studio 1—an acoustically treated audio production studio for vocal recording, voiceovers and audio-only podcasts.
Studio 1 also works brilliantly for intimate, desk-led presenting. The upright waxed acoustic timbers create a warm, distinctive background, and we can clear and dress the space with a presentation desk to give interviews, training videos and branded business content a focused visual style.
Control room
Live production, monitoring and technical direction.
Studio 1
Voiceovers, vocals and professional audio podcasts.
Presenter set
A flexible desk setup against the acoustic timber wall.
Professional 4K production
Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Pros.
Our multi-camera podcast studio uses Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Pro cameras to capture consistent, broadcast-quality pictures from every angle. The system gives our production team precise control throughout your recording, helping your podcast, interview or business video look polished from the first frame to the last.
Broadcast connectivity
Professional 12G-SDI, balanced XLR audio, talkback, tally and 10G Ethernet integrate each camera into our live production workflow. Our team can monitor, communicate and control the shoot without interrupting your conversation.
Precise monitoring
A bright 7-inch HDR touchscreen provides fast access to framing, focus, audio levels and camera settings. Blackmagic RAW recording and built-in colour controls give us flexibility to create a refined, brand-consistent final edit.
Broadcast-standard presenter audio
Shure SM7B microphones.
Every presenter records through a Shure SM7B—the dynamic broadcast microphone trusted for professional podcasts, voiceovers and studio vocals. Each microphone is routed through our studio preamps, providing the clean gain needed to produce a warm, full and controlled vocal sound.
Focused voice capture
Its cardioid pickup pattern concentrates on the presenter while reducing unwanted sound from the sides and rear—ideal when several people are recording in the same room.
Smooth, natural tone
A wide 50 Hz–20 kHz frequency response captures body, detail and clarity across different voices. Selectable response controls let our engineers shape the microphone for speech or close vocal work.
Cleaner recordings
Built-in pop filtering controls breath sounds, internal air-suspension isolation reduces mechanical vibration, and electromagnetic shielding helps reject hum from nearby studio equipment.
