Built for podcasting, not retrofitted.
Not a converted meeting room. Not a music studio with a few mics bolted on. Every surface, camera and cable was chosen for one thing: exceptional conversations.
01
Acoustically Engineered
Purpose-built sound treatment for crystal-clear dialogue. Every surface eliminates echo and background noise.
02
Multi-Camera 4K Video
Cinema cameras with professional lighting rigs, for broadcast-quality footage on YouTube and social.
03
Broadcast Microphones
Shure SM7B and condenser options matched to every voice for the best possible sound.
04
Remote Guest Capability
Seamless dial-in for remote guests in broadcast quality. They sound like they are sitting right next to you.
05
On-Site Engineering
An experienced engineer included with every booking. You focus on the conversation; they handle the tech.
What's in the room
Every booking includes an engineer who knows this kit inside out. If you need something that isn't on this list, ask: we'll usually have it, or get it. Treat this as the working broadcast set; confirm serials for riders before a session.
Microphones
Shure SM7B, broadcast dynamic (×2). Shure SM58, dynamic (×2). Oktava MK-012 condenser, hypercardioid with low-cut filter (×2).
Recording
Zoom H6 multi-track recorder / interface, plus the broadcast desk chain for session capture.
Monitoring
Sony MDR-V150 closed-back headphones (×4), with talkback from the engineer desk.
Acoustics
Purpose-built sound-minimised live room. Kaotica Eyeball portable isolation (×2).
Video
Multi-camera 4K capture with professional lighting for long-form and vertical cut-downs.
Inventory evolves. Ask when you book and we will send the current stocktake for insurance and technical riders.
The room, practically
Seats up to four around the desk, with space for a producer and guests off-mic. Step-free access via Canalot Studios reception. Ten minutes from Westbourne Park station, parking on site. Tea, coffee, and an engineer who has heard every possible way a session can go wrong, and quietly prevents all of them.
Pricing, plainly
Studio hire from £200 an hour, engineer included. Audio plus 4K video rates available on request. Half-day and full-day rates available. No hidden extras: your files, delivered same day, are part of the price.
This is the room How To Kill An Hour records in. It's available by the hour.
