the room · up to 4
four seats, one table
for panels, interviews and anything with guests. four boom arms around a round table, and space behind them for a camera.
a room that sounds like nothing.
a podcast studio in brussels, by the hour. four seats, five microphones, and a door that shuts out the tram.
01 · the premise
we rent you the silence.
anyone can sell you a microphone. the hard part is a room with nothing in it: no traffic, no ventilation hum, no neighbour through the wall. ours measures 18 dB(A) empty.
02 · the rooms
the booth · 1
one seat, no distractions
for solo episodes, narration and voice-over. small, dead, and completely closed off from the rest of the building.

10 · questions
how do i book?
pick a slot in the calendar. you get a confirmation and a code for the street door. no call needed unless you want one.
what if my guest is late?
your thirty free minutes sit before the slot, not after, which covers most of it. beyond that we charge in fifteen minute steps.
can i cancel?
free up to 48 hours before. after that we keep half. move it once for free if something comes up.
do i need to know how any of it works?
no. someone sets it up, shows you the two buttons that matter, and stays in the building.
can i film it myself?
yes. bring what you like. there is room behind the table for a tripod and power on every wall.
what do i leave with?
a wav per microphone and one mixed wav, on your drive before you go. we keep a copy for thirty days, then delete it.
