Live Streaming & Podcasting Setup
Audio Solutions
If you are ready to bring your ideas and brand in front of a global audience, you can get started with a wide range of products at Photo Shop Studios, designed to build a functional and dedicated workspace for content creation, livestreaming and podcasting.
One key factor that makes or breaks online content is audio quality: to retain an audience, you need clean, crisp voiceovers that will enhance your on-screen presense, and won't distract from your storytelling. A podcast where you can hear the host but not the interviewee is not ideal for anyone.
Understanding your production needs and talioring your workspace accessories to suit your kind of content is what makes you stand out from the crowd.
Wireless Audio
The most versatile audio solutions on the market provide you with near-invisible microphones that can wirelessly transmit high quality audio, without dangling wires from your cameras and talent. Tuck them under shirts or hide them behind props, wireless mics are designed to provide you with clean audio and usable video footage. Perfect for on-location productions: interviews, wedding vows, or run-and-gun news reporting.
Whether you are interested in performing voice-overs, travel vlogs or you want to capture studio-quality audio for music production, wireless mics can offer you mobility, whole day battery life and even professional features such as time-coding, 32-bit float and automatic audio backup.

Wired / Studio Quality & USB Microphones
If it's long-term reliability and the highest audio quality you are looking for, nothing beats wired XLR and USB microphones. While wireless mics can offer you strong, long distance connections, static and signal interference will always be a possibility. This will need to be considered, especially if your primary workspace is indoors, surrounded by monitors, laptops, cameras and WiFi/Bluetooth devices.
Wired microphones are perfect for your setup if you have a long-term studio operation, where you stream and record hours of footage every day. Professional microphones offer XLR connections that allow musicians and voice actors to seamlessly integrate them to their existing recording booths. For mobile or less technical setups, USB microphones allow easy and direct connection to your computer or tablet, for a quick on-site interview or a podcast recording.

Lighting Solutions
Present yourself in the best light, with both beginner-friendly and specialised lighting products.
Every studio, stage setting and interview backdrop requires well-considered lighting to look professional on camera. In particular, when considering what type of lights you should buy, you should look at the avaliable natural/ambient light, the size of your filming area, and the overall theme you are going for. A warm and inviting kitchen for your cooking videos requires bright but not overwhelming lighting that can complement your dishes and crockery, while your top-down detail shots may require a spotlight to highlight the food.
In situations where you require soft key lights, Bi-colour panel lights offers easy setup and built-in diffusion, so you can stream and commentate and react on camera with clarity.
If you are considering some drama for your gaming stream backdrop, you may consider versatile RGB options such as panel lights, light sticks and pocket LED's, so you can play around with vibrant moody colour combinations.

Washable textured muslin cloths and green-screen-ready backdrops are also avaliable for your creative goals.
Flat/Neutral coloured cloths are also ideal as extensive lighting modifiers, for example, white muslin cloths perform great in diffusing hard or sunlight, creating dreamy soft lighting for your space.

Multifunctional Stands / Brackets / Accessories
Once you are well on your way to equipment your workspace, its the final touches that elevate and maximize your productivity. Camera, lighting and audio equipment need to be clamped down, secured or positioned safely and effectively around the studio to perform at their best. Equipment such as light stands, boom arms and desktop clamps all have a variety of styles of functions in a studio envionment.
Camera bodies out of the box have limited mounting options for your boom mics, receivers, mounting SSD's or connecting external monitors. Accessories such as camera cages, magic arms and clamps are classic tools for videomakers to rig out unique and functional builds for any project they work on. Camera cages' multitude of mount points allow you to rig on V-mount batteries, external monitors, microphones and mounting your camera on gimbals and tripods.
Desktop clamps are versatile products that can secure your audio and camera equipment in your workspace, while saving you valuable desk space. If you are streaming and recording music at your studio setup, a mic stand can be rigged for best audio quality, while additional clamps can allow you to secure a tablet for sheet music, additional lights or a camera monitor.
