Shure SM7dB Microphone w/Built-in Preamp
These microphones are awesome! No cloud lifter is required because the pre-amp is built right in. We have 2 of these microphones in our studio

Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen Audio Interface
2 Microphones connect to the Scarlett 2i2. You can also connect headphones and a guitar. We have only used it with microphones so far. Connects to your computer with USB. The autolevel feature is awesome for setting the correct gain for podcasts. Looks pretty cool too.
IXTECH Boom Arm
These are very sturdy and allow you to move the microphone to the perfect position for podcasts. We loved them so much we bought an additional 2 to hold our mobile devices so we can do video podcasts. The phone holder tripod mounts are listed below
PICTRON Metal Phone Tripod Mount
These hold the phone securely for steady video. Allows you to hold the phone upright or landscape depending on the type of video you are creating. The original plan was to use webcams, but the phones cameras are so nice now, they produce better videos. The brushed metal knob matches the color of the Focusrite, which adds to the coolness factor.
Mic Stand Adapter 5/8 to 1/4
These are required to mount the phone mount to the boom arm. Simple as that. You’ll need one for each phone mount
Acoustic Panels
These help to reduce background noise and echo. They come in a pack of 6 and are super sticky. Use a level when mounting them, because they’re not coming off the wall without damaging them. These ones are silver gray
Acoustic Panels
Same as above, but in black. We used 6 of each color
Yaheetech Modern Living Room Chair
We were planning on getting 2 matching chairs from Facebook Marketplace to save some money, but instead decided to buy new. This will make it easier to buy 2 more if we upgrade the studio to accomodate 4 podcasters.
FOLUBAN Rustic Coffee Table,Wood and Metal
This coffee table is nice and sturdy and the perfect thickness to mount the boom arms. Looks great too.
