Professional Audio Setup at Marcia’s Looks Salon
Our podcast station is equipped with professional-grade audio equipment designed to deliver clean, broadcast-quality sound for podcasts, interviews, livestreams, and video productions. Every element of the setup has been selected to ensure reliability, comfort, and professional results.

The studio uses Rockville RCM03 condenser microphones, designed for podcasting, voice recording, and broadcast-style audio. These microphones capture rich, detailed sound with excellent vocal clarity, making them ideal for conversations, interviews, and storytelling.
Each microphone is mounted on a shock mount system that reduces vibrations and unwanted noise from the desk or floor. A metal pop filter is also included to minimize plosive sounds (such as “P” and “B” sounds), ensuring smooth and professional recordings.
The microphones are attached to adjustable studio boom arms, allowing guests to position the microphone comfortably while maintaining optimal sound quality.
Features include:
• High-sensitivity condenser capsule for clear voice capture
• Shock mount to reduce vibration noise
• Metal pop filter for cleaner vocal recordings
• Adjustable boom arms for flexible positioning
• Ideal for podcasts, interviews, voiceovers, and streaming

Audio is managed through a Mackie ProFX10v3 professional mixer, a trusted mixer used in many recording studios and podcast setups.
This mixer allows full control over each microphone channel, including gain, EQ, and audio balancing, ensuring every voice sounds balanced and professional during recording or livestreaming.
The mixer also includes built-in digital effects and USB connectivity, allowing the audio to be easily connected to a computer for recording, streaming, or broadcasting.
