2-Person Podcasting Kit With StudioLive AR12c Mixer

This 2-Person Podcasting Kit builds a co-hosted setup around the StudioLive AR12c mixer, adding a Rockville RHPA4 headphone amplifier, two RCM03 condenser microphones, two PRO-M50 headphones, and two DMS40 boom arms. The AR12c's eight XMAX preamps and 14x4 USB-C interface record each host's channel individually plus the main mix, with onboard 3-band EQ and effects shaping the sound on the fly. Because a mixer typically has only one headphone output, the included RHPA4 amplifier splits monitoring into four independently controlled outputs, so both hosts can dial in their own volume without competing over a single knob. Each RCM03 covers vocals with an aluminum body and large diaphragm across a 30Hz-20kHz range and ships with its own mixer and computer cables, while the two DMS40 boom arms give each host a 40-inch reach that clamps to the desk and swings out of the way between takes. The PRO-M50 headphones' 40mm drivers and closed-back design keep each host's monitoring separate from the other's live mic. Together, this kit covers mixing, recording, mic positioning, and independent monitoring for a two-person show.
