Go live from a room built to be filmed.

A livestream forgives nothing: there is no second take and no edit to hide the hum. The podcast room is camera-ready and treated, by the hour; Studio B is a sound-treated room within a room with a cove that takes colour; and the DJ room is built so a set can be filmed or streamed with the lighting already rigged. The encoder and the cameras are yours.
