Ed Sullivan is my guest this week and he shared insights into his advanced mobile podcast setup, centered around the 2021 16” MacBook Pro M1 Max 32 GB as the processing hub. The audio setup features the Mackie ProFX12v3 mixer, Mackie HM-800 headphone amplifier, and Dbx 266xs compressor/gate for precise control. Visuals are captured through the PTZOptics Camera and Insta360 Link, ensuring high-quality video content. Power considerations are met with Jackery and FlashFish portable solutions, alongside the Furman power conditioner for stability. This comprehensive setup reflects a commitment to professional, on-the-go podcasting with an emphasis on both audio and visual quality, exemplified by tools like the DJI Osmo Pocket 3.
