Adam Curry has created a new piece of audio hardware which is being created for those of you that create podcasts and is aptly named the Podcast Pro.
The Podcast Pro brings Mic Preamps, EQ, Compressor, Noise-gate, Mix-minus, and Voice Processing in a single USB device about the size of a hardcover book. Watch the promotional video below to learn more about its features and functionality.
Comprehensive Features for Podcasters
The Podcast Pro is designed to be an all-in-one solution for podcasters, streamlining the audio production process. With 6 input channels, including 2 XLR Mic inputs with 48v Phantom Power, it caters to both solo podcasters and those who host guests. The stereo Skype/VoIP USB input and stereo computer/soundboard USB input make it easy to integrate calls and additional audio sources seamlessly.
The device also boasts 4 output channels, including a stereo Mix Minus for Skype via USB, ensuring that your guests don’t hear their own voice echoed back to them. The stereo Main output via USB and analog out provide flexibility in how you route your audio. Additionally, the 2 headphone outputs with independent volume controls allow both the host and a guest to monitor the audio in real-time.
Advanced Audio Processing
One of the standout features of the Podcast Pro is its advanced audio processing capabilities. It includes 4 independent noise gates, which help to eliminate background noise and ensure a clean recording. The 5 compressors/limiters and 5 independent EQs allow for precise control over the audio dynamics and tonal balance, making it easier to achieve a professional sound.
The 2 A-class preamps ensure high-quality microphone amplification, while the 2 cough switches provide a quick way to mute the microphones if needed. These features are particularly useful during live recordings or interviews, where maintaining audio quality is crucial.
