Descrizione

And the beauty of these shows is that anyone can make one. With this is mind, Zoom serve up the perfect podcasting partner in the form of the Zoom PodTrak P8 podcast mixer. From the comfort of your own living room, or even your garden, this mixer can be set up to manage your microphones and add a polished edge to your production.

The Zoom PodTrak P8: What Does it Offer?

Up to six XLR microphones can be connected to the mixer and, if you're using condenser microphones, you'll be glad to know that each channel is fitted with phantom power. Since six people might be speaking, up to six sets of headphones can also be connected and each output comes with its own dedicated volume control so your guests can tweak their preferred level. Another slick detail lies in the fact that the faders, the display, the headphones levels, and the headphones sockets are all colour-coded so you always know exactly what's happening on every channel. If you get some matching colour-coded microphone windshields, then the job would be made even easier. Just in case, you can even connect a phone to this mixer to add a seventh voice to the discussion.

Further Highlights

The professional edge of your production would be incomplete without a jingle, leader, or bumper. Here, you can simply load them in, assign them to one of the nine sound pads and trigger them at will. Four banks of sounds are provided, so you can save up to 36. The P8 even doubles as a 13-in audio interface so you can not only record shows to an SD card but directly to your laptop or desktop, and even if you want to edit without using a computer, this mixer also offers that function. You don't even need to plug it in since it can be powered by just four AA batteries. While recording, ambient noise suppression can be enable to ensure the clarity of your guest's speech. This highly comprehensive and highly accommodating podcasting mixer really has everything covered.
