Every hourly rate at Bangkok Podcast Studio includes the full multi-cam Sony full-frame 4K camera setup, Shure SM7B microphones on RØDE production consoles, a dedicated on-set A/V specialist, and the soundproofed room itself — from ฿3,900/hr, with no separate equipment rental line. You never bring or rent your own gear.
What equipment does a podcast studio in Bangkok actually provide?
Every one of Bangkok Podcast Studio’s 5 rooms — The Great Boardroom, The Confessional, Smart Studios™, The Office, and Starship — is fitted with the same core equipment stack, so the gear you get doesn’t depend on which room you book:
| Category | Equipment | What it does for you |
|---|---|---|
| Camera | Sony full-frame 4K cameras, multi-cam setup | Bangkok’s only full-frame studio — cinema-depth video, not phone-camera flat |
| Microphone | Shure SM7B on RØDE production consoles | Broadcast-standard vocal clarity, the same mic used on major podcast networks |
| Acoustic treatment | Soundproofed room build | No street noise, no echo, no re-recording because of a passing motorbike |
| Crew | A dedicated A/V specialist per session | Someone else runs the gear so you focus on talking, not troubleshooting |
| Lighting | Studio lighting rig, room-dependent | Consistent, flattering exposure without you owning a single softbox |
This is the equipment layer behind every tier on the published pricing page — it doesn’t change whether you book the ฿3,900/hr Solo Creator Recording tier or the ฿9,800/hr full multi-cam Production tier. What changes between tiers is the edit level (raw files vs. live mix vs. 24-hour fully edited delivery), never the gear in the room.
Do I need to bring my own microphone or camera?
No. Bring yourself, your notes, and your guest — the studio provides the camera, microphone, lighting, and acoustic treatment as part of the room rate. This is the single biggest difference between renting a studio and recording at home: a comparable home setup (camera, mic, audio interface, lighting, acoustic panels) typically costs ฿80,000–150,000 upfront before you’ve recorded a single episode, and you’re still the one operating it and troubleshooting it mid-session. The Podcast Host’s equipment cost guide puts a professional-grade home rig at $10,500–$25,000, which lines up with that range once you include multi-cam video. Our studio vs. home recording comparison works the trade-off through signal by signal.
What’s the difference between the room and the equipment tier?
Bangkok Podcast Studio’s 4 pricing tiers are set by production and edit level, not by which physical room or which pieces of equipment you use:
- Solo Creator Recording — ฿3,900/hr: single-camera 4K, broadcast audio, raw files delivered for you to edit
- Podcast Production: Raw Files — ฿5,900/hr: multi-cam podcast, raw recording — you edit
- Podcast Production: Live Mix — ฿6,900/hr: full multi-cam, pre-mixed on-set, ready to publish (the most-booked tier)
- Podcast Production: Full Editing — ฿9,800/hr: full multi-cam, fully edited and delivered within 24 hours
All four tiers run through the same Sony full-frame camera and Shure SM7B microphone stack. A 10-hour Creator Bundle brings the effective rate down to ฿3,510/hr — about 41% cheaper than booking single Live Mix sessions one at a time. The full tier-by-tier breakdown is in our 2026 Bangkok studio pricing guide.
What equipment add-ons are available beyond the standard setup?
Three add-ons sit on top of any of the 4 core tiers, at the same published rate regardless of which room you’re in:
- Livestreaming (multi-platform) — ฿4,900/hr
- Green screen setup — ฿1,000/hr
- MC / host services — ฿3,500/hr
Nothing else is billed separately — the camera, microphone, lighting, acoustic treatment, and A/V specialist are always part of the base hourly rate, never itemized extras.
Do the rooms differ in equipment or just size?
The 5 rooms differ mainly in capacity and look, not in the core recording equipment. The Great Boardroom fits up to 5 guests for panel-format podcasts; The Confessional suits 1–2 guests for interview formats; Smart Studios™ is built for solo creators with interchangeable backdrops; The Office is a clean, desk-based solo studio, and Starship is a themed alternate environment. Every room runs the same Sony full-frame camera and Shure SM7B/RØDE audio chain, so picking a room is a creative decision, not an equipment trade-off.

Frequently asked questions
What camera does Bangkok Podcast Studio use?
Sony full-frame 4K cameras in a multi-cam setup — Bangkok Podcast Studio is the only full-frame studio in Bangkok, included at every pricing tier from ฿3,900/hr.
What microphone does the studio use?
Shure SM7B microphones running through RØDE production consoles, the same broadcast-standard mic setup used on major podcast networks, included in every room at no extra cost.
Do I need to bring my own equipment?
No. Camera, microphone, lighting, acoustic treatment, and a dedicated A/V specialist are included in every session — you only need to bring yourself and your guest.
Is equipment more advanced in certain rooms or at higher price tiers?
No. All 5 rooms and all 4 pricing tiers use the same Sony full-frame camera and Shure SM7B/RØDE audio setup. Higher tiers change the edit and delivery level (raw files, live mix, or 24-hour full editing), not the equipment.
How much would it cost to buy this equipment myself?
A comparable home setup — camera, microphones, interface, lighting, and acoustic treatment — runs roughly ฿80,000–150,000 upfront, before accounting for your own time spent operating and troubleshooting it.
