Our Gear:
- We use and love the Bose QuietComfort 20i Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones. They are so comfortable especially for those road warriors who are flying regularly.
- We mix our show on a Soundcraft EPM8 8-channel mixer.
- We record to a Zoom H5 Handy Recorder, and we couldn’t be happier with this device.
- We speak into the industry standard, a Shure 58 microphone and they’re sitting in suspension boom stands with a good windscreen on them as well.
- Probably the coolest thing our guests comment on is the Belkin Rockstar Multi Headphone Splitter. Not sure why they do, but they think it looks cool.
