4-Person Podcast Recording Kit With Mics, Headphones, Tripods

This kit sets up four podcast hosts on a Soundcraft Notepad-12FX 12-channel mixer, with four Rockville RCM02 condenser microphones, four Rockville RDTS desktop tripod mic stands, four Rockville PRO-M50 studio headphones, and a Rockville RHPA4 4-channel headphone amplifier. The Notepad-12FX gives each mic a dedicated Soundcraft preamp channel with 3-band EQ, and its Lexicon reverb, chorus, and delay add studio polish while the built-in USB interface records the session directly to a Mac or PC. Each RCM02 uses an aluminum body and large diaphragm capsule tested from 30Hz to 20kHz, shipping with a shock mount and metal anti-wind cap to reduce handling noise. The RDTS stands fold flat for storage and adjust in height from 5.9 to 7.1 inches, with an all-metal build and a standard mic clip that also accepts most shock mounts, so a mic sits stable and low-profile on a crowded podcast table. Because four voices call for four comfortable monitor levels, the RHPA4 splits the mixer's output into four independently controlled headphone feeds, delivered through PRO-M50 headphones with 40mm neodymium drivers for clear, isolated listening. Between the mixer, four mics on their own tripods, and four headphone feeds, this kit puts four hosts on air with minimal setup.
