With more and more people needing to either broadcast live or create podcasts at home, creators and talent alike can still sound like a pro and enjoy easy-to-use gear, thanks to our friends at Yellowtec.
The Intellimix is a well crafted, fully featured broadcast mixer that has a small footprint, and all features available right in front of you for easy access and use. The advanced auto gain compressor easily gets your voice to the right level, and keeps it nice and consistent.
Since in the future there may not be the same amount of engineering support, having features like solid remote control of the mixer with a Mac/PC/Android/IOS devices could be a really big help.
With talent assuming the role of the engineer more and more, the simple intuitive mixer format is not intimidating as a big bank of faders, and has quick easy recall - create a preset for each show that can recall everything you need to be up and running at the push of a button.
iXM Podcaster: With a high quality microphone preamp and voice-optimized compressor built-in to this portable recorder/microphone, it’s a quality podcast studio in the palm of your hand! Record where-ever inspiration strikes you... Is your apartment too noisy to track your podcast today, but the park/courtyard, etc, down the street nice and quiet? All you need is the iXM Podcaster and some headphones, no computer, bulky interface, etc.
m!ka Arms: These are without a doubt some of the best broadcast boom arms out there. If you are planning on potentially being on camera ever in the future; these boom arms are an investment you will not regret. They have a much lower profile, and have the potential to make a LOT less noise than a traditional boom arm with it’s exposed springs.
