Halo teman-teman semua! Kali ini kita mau bahas setup podcast yang kami pakai untuk syuting podcast Timothy Ronald dan Chef Arnold.
Ini adalah setup yang kami pakai di Sayap Suci—dan kalau kalian lihat sebenarnya backgroundnya tidak terlalu beda dari tempat biasa, tapi dengan strategic setup kita bisa bikin hasil yang professional.
Challenges: Location dan Natural Light
The Window Problem
Kalau kalian lihat, lokasi ini menghadap jendela besar (Sayap Suci). Ini sebenarnya challenging karena:
- ❌ Face window = Subject backlit (silhouette)
- ❌ Direct sunlight = Harsh shadows, inconsistent exposure
- ❌ Weather dependent = Mendung tiba-tiba, lighting berubah
Solution: Kita pakai artificial lighting yang bisa nandingin matahari.
Part 1: Lighting Setup (Aputure 300C + Softbox)
Main Light: Aputure 300C
Lampu yang kita pakai adalah Aputure 300C.
Specs:
- Power output: 300 watt (cukup powerful untuk nandingin matahari)
- Type: COB LED (Chip-on-Board)
- Color temperature: Bi-color (adjustable 3200K-5600K)
- CRI/TLCI: 96+ (accurate color reproduction)
Ini 300 watt jadi lumayan bisa nandingin matahari untuk natural light supplement atau replacement.
Modifier: Softbox (Light Dome)
Kita pakai softbox di depan Aputure 300C.
Kenapa Softbox?
Biar tidak ada lighting yang mentah-mentah (hard light). Jadi misalkan lagi shooting, tiba-tiba cerah, tiba-tiba mendung—itu tidak masalah karena kita tau ada consistent artificial lighting.
Benefit softbox:
- ✅ Soft, diffused light – No harsh shadows di wajah talent
- ✅ Large light source – Wrap around subject lebih natural
- ✅ Consistent output – Tidak terpengaruh cuaca/waktu
- ✅ Flattering untuk portrait – Even skin tones, minimal blemishes
Lighting Position dan Setup
Placement:
- Position: 45° dari subject (classic Rembrandt/loop lighting)
- Height: Slightly above eye level, angled down
- Distance: 2-3 meter dari talent (tergantung space)
- Power: 80-100% (untuk compete dengan window light)
Lighting Setup Summary
| Component | Product | Purpose | Price Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main Light | Aputure 300C | Key light, compete dengan sunlight | ~Rp 10-12 juta |
| Modifier | Light Dome II (or similar softbox) | Diffuse light, eliminate harsh shadows | ~Rp 3-4 juta |
| Stand | Heavy-duty C-stand | Support 300C + modifier weight | ~Rp 1-2 juta |
Part 2: Audio Setup (Shure SM7B + Rode Caster Pro 2)
Microphone: Shure SM7B (Industry Standard)
Kenapa SM7B?
Shure SM7B adalah broadcast standard untuk podcasting:
- ✅ Used by: Joe Rogan, Lex Fridman, Tim Ferriss, semua podcast besar
- ✅ Dynamic mic – Excellent noise rejection (tidak pickup background noise)
- ✅ Warm, smooth vocal – Flattering untuk speech
- ✅ Built-in pop filter – Minimize plosives (P, B sounds)
- ✅ Durable – Tank-like build quality
SM7B Specs:
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Dynamic (XLR) |
| Polar Pattern | Cardioid (unidirectional) |
| Frequency Response | 50Hz – 20kHz |
| Output Impedance | 150Ω (requires gain boost) |
| Price | ~Rp 6-7 juta |
Boom Arm: Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP
Kita pakai boom arm dari Elgato.
“Ini dari Elgato ya? Iya, Elgato—El Gato gitu. Ini namanya Elgato. Terus kalian harus pakai boom arm biar tidak ‘gato-gato’ (goyang-goyang).”
Why Boom Arm?
- ✅ Flexible positioning – Easy adjust jarak mic ke mulut (optimal: 5-10cm)
- ✅ Desk space saving – Tidak makan space di meja
- ✅ Reduce handling noise – Isolated dari desk vibrations
- ✅ Professional look – Clean, minimal visual clutter
Recommended boom arms:
- Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP – ~Rp 2 juta (excellent cable management)
- Rode PSA1+ – ~Rp 1.8 juta (classic, reliable)
- Blue Compass – ~Rp 1.5 juta (budget-friendly)
Audio Interface: Rode Caster Pro 2
Untuk audio interface, kita pakai Rode Caster Pro 2.
Kenapa Harus Pakai Mixer?
Karena SM7B itu inputnya XLR. Jadi XLR itu harus masuk ke mixer. Mixer ini sebagai OTAK untuk memproses audio biar lebih clean.
Rode Caster Pro 2 Features:
- ✅ 4 XLR inputs – Support sampai 4 hosts/guests
- ✅ Built-in preamps – Powerful gain untuk SM7B (yang notoriously low output)
- ✅ Sound pads – 8 programmable buttons untuk sound effects, intro music, dll.
- ✅ USB-C audio interface – Direct recording ke computer
- ✅ Built-in processing – Compressor, EQ, noise gate, de-esser
- ✅ Multi-track recording – Record each mic separately (editing flexibility)
- ✅ Bluetooth – Wireless phone calls, music playback
Alternative Audio Interfaces:
| Product | Inputs | Best For | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rode Caster Pro 2 | 4 XLR | Professional podcasters, all-in-one solution | ~Rp 12 juta |
| Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 | 2 XLR | Budget 1-2 person podcasts | ~Rp 3 juta |
| Universal Audio Volt 276 | 2 XLR | High-quality preamps, vintage tone | ~Rp 6 juta |
| Zoom PodTrak P4 | 4 XLR | Portable, built-in recorder | ~Rp 5 juta |
Monitoring Headphones: Audio-Technica ATH-M50x
Untuk monitoring audio, kita pakai Audio-Technica ATH-M50x.
Why ATH-M50x?
Sebenarnya bisa pakai apapun, tapi biasanya yang sering digunakan itu ini: ATH-M50x untuk monitor.
Purpose monitoring headphones:
- ✅ Real-time audio check – Dengar exactly apa yang terekam
- ✅ Catch issues early – Noise, clipping, mic position problems
- ✅ Level monitoring – Ensure proper gain staging
- ✅ Isolated listening – No bleed into mics
Alternative monitoring headphones:
- Audio-Technica ATH-M50x – ~Rp 2.5 juta (industry standard)
- Sony MDR-7506 – ~Rp 2 juta (broadcast classic)
- Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro – ~Rp 2.8 juta (comfort for long sessions)
Audio Workflow: Critical Steps
CRITICAL AUDIO WORKFLOW:
- Before talent arrives:
- Test all mics (cek levels, no clipping)
- MUTE semua channels (jangan lupa!)
- Set preliminary gain (biasanya 60-70% untuk SM7B)
- Saat talent masuk studio:
- Keep muted! Jangan lupa pencet merah (mute button)
- Mic tetap off sampai ready recording
- Avoid catching private conversation/chatter
- Saat mulai recording:
- Countdown: “Recording in 3, 2, 1…”
- UNMUTE channels
- Naikkan gain kalau perlu (monitor levels di -12dB to -6dB range)
- Jangan sampai ada yang “keceplosan” dari off-mic chatter
- During recording:
- Monitor levels constantly (prevent clipping > 0dB)
- Adjust gain kalau talent speaking too soft/loud
- Watch for background noise (AC, traffic, etc.)
Part 3: Camera Setup (3-Angle Blackmagic Configuration)
Why 3-Camera Setup?
3-angle configuration adalah standard untuk professional podcast:
- Wide shot (Establishing) – Context, both talents visible
- Medium shot (Two-shot atau single) – Conversation dynamics
- Close-up (Tight portrait) – Emotion, reaction shots
Editing Flexibility:
- ✅ Coverage – Never “stuck” dengan boring single angle
- ✅ Dynamic pacing – Cut antara angles untuk maintain engagement
- ✅ Reaction shots – Capture both speaker dan listener expressions
- ✅ Repurpose untuk shorts – Close-up footage perfect untuk vertical format
Camera Bodies: Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera
Kita pakai Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera untuk semua 3 angles.
Why Blackmagic for Podcasts?
- ✅ Cinematic image – Film-like aesthetic (bukan video look)
- ✅ Blackmagic RAW – Massive color grading flexibility
- ✅ Dual native ISO – Clean low light performance (400 & 3200)
- ✅ Professional codecs – ProRes, BRAW
- ✅ Affordable – Cinema quality tanpa RED/ARRI pricing
Recommended Blackmagic models untuk podcast:
| Model | Sensor | Best For | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| BMPCC 6K Pro | Super 35 (6K) | Best overall, internal ND, tilt screen | ~Rp 35 juta |
| BMPCC 6K G2 | Super 35 (6K) | Budget option, excellent image | ~Rp 28 juta |
| BMPCC 4K | MFT (4K) | Most affordable, smaller lenses | ~Rp 18 juta |
Part 4: Lens Configuration (Strategic Focal Length Choices)
Angle 1 – Wide Shot: Sigma 24-35mm f/2 Art
Untuk wide shot-nya, saya rekomendasikan pakai Sigma 24-35mm f/2 Art.
Why This Lens for Wide?
Karena ini lumayan sharp dan kalian bisa pakai f/2.8 sampai f/4—masih dapat depth tapi everything in focus (both talents sharp).
Wide shot lens criteria:
- ✅ Focal length: 24-35mm – Enough width untuk frame both talents + background
- ✅ Aperture: f/2.8-f/4 – Adequate depth of field (don’t need f/1.4 untuk wide)
- ✅ Sharpness – Edge-to-edge sharpness important untuk establishing shot
Wide Shot Lens Alternatives:
| Lens | Focal Length | Aperture | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sigma 24-35mm f/2 Art | 24-35mm (versatile range) | f/2 (bright, sharp wide open) | ~Rp 15 juta |
| Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 Art | 18-35mm (APS-C, wider) | f/1.8 (excellent low light) | ~Rp 12 juta |
| Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 | 24-70mm (zoom flexibility) | f/2.8 (constant aperture) | ~Rp 25 juta |
Angle 2 – Medium Shot: 24-70mm (Zoomed to ~70mm)
Untuk angle kedua, kalian bisa pakai lensa yang lebih zoom.
Our Setup:
Di sini kita pakai 24-70mm, tapi saya zoom sampai sekitar 70mm biar lebih compressed dan lebih flattering untuk head shots.
Why 70mm for Medium Shot?
- ✅ Compression – Background lebih compressed (bokeh lebih smooth)
- ✅ Flattering perspective – No wide-angle distortion di wajah
- ✅ Isolate subject – Easier separate talent dari background
- ✅ Flexibility – Zoom in/out untuk adjust framing tanpa move camera
Medium shot lens options:
- Canon/Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 – ~Rp 20-25 juta (versatile workhorse)
- Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 – ~Rp 10 juta (budget-friendly, excellent quality)
- Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 Art – ~Rp 18 juta (sharp, heavy build)
Angle 3 – Close-Up: Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8 Art
Untuk close-up, kita pakai Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8 Art.
Our Configuration:
Di sini kita pakai di 50mm-nya saja. Tapi sebenarnya lebih bagus kalau kalian langsung pakai focal length yang lebih tinggi untuk close-up—lebih flattering lagi untuk portrait.
Why Longer Focal Length for Close-Up?
Ideal focal length untuk portrait/close-up: 85-135mm
- ✅ Maximum compression – Smooth, creamy bokeh
- ✅ Flattering facial proportions – No distortion, natural look
- ✅ Subject isolation – Talent “pop” dari background
- ✅ Cinematic depth – Shallow DOF at f/1.8-f/2.8
Recommended Portrait Lenses untuk Close-Up:
| Lens | Focal Length | Best Feature | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8 Art | 50-100mm zoom | Versatile range, constant f/1.8 | ~Rp 18 juta |
| Canon 85mm f/1.2L | 85mm prime | Legendary bokeh, ultra-sharp | ~Rp 25 juta |
| Sony 85mm f/1.4 GM | 85mm prime | Fast AF, lightweight | ~Rp 24 juta |
| Sigma 85mm f/1.4 Art | 85mm prime | Razor sharp, great value | ~Rp 15 juta |
| Canon 135mm f/2L | 135mm prime | Maximum compression, “magic” lens | ~Rp 18 juta |
Lens Configuration Summary
3-Angle Lens Setup:
Wide Shot (Camera 1):
- Lens: 24-35mm
- Aperture: f/2.8-f/4
- Purpose: Establish setting, show both talents, background context
Medium Shot (Camera 2):
- Lens: 24-70mm (zoomed to ~70mm)
- Aperture: f/2.8-f/4
- Purpose: Conversation coverage, two-shot atau singles with context
Close-Up (Camera 3):
- Lens: 85-135mm (recommended) atau 50-100mm
- Aperture: f/1.8-f/2.8
- Purpose: Emotion, reaction shots, tight portrait dengan bokeh
Part 5: Podcast Repurposing (Shorts & Vertical Content)
Why Close-Up Angle Critical untuk Repurposing?
Modern podcast workflow: 1 long-form episode → 5-10 short clips
Vertical format requirements:
- ✅ 9:16 aspect ratio (Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts)
- ✅ Tight framing – Head and shoulders (portrait orientation)
- ✅ Single subject focus – One person per frame
- ✅ 30-90 second clips – Highlight best moments
Close-up footage dengan 85-135mm lens adalah PERFECT untuk vertical crop—talent fills frame dengan beautiful bokeh background.
Repurposing Strategy
| Format | Source Angle | Aspect Ratio | Platform |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Episode | Wide + Medium (multi-cam edit) | 16:9 | YouTube, Spotify (video) |
| Highlight Clips | Close-up (tight portrait) | 9:16 | Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts |
| Teaser Trailer | Mix of all 3 angles | 16:9 atau 1:1 | Instagram Feed, Twitter, LinkedIn |
| Audiogram | Static wide shot | 1:1 | Instagram Feed, Facebook |
Part 6: Team Structure (Minimum 3 People Required)
Podcast Crew Roles
Person 1: Camera Operator – Angle 1 (Wide)
Responsibilities:
- Monitor wide shot framing (both talents in frame)
- Ensure consistent headroom dan background composition
- Watch for talent movement (re-adjust kalau perlu)
- Backup: Keep eye on overall production flow
Person 2: Camera Operator – Angle 2 & 3 (Medium + Close-Up)
Responsibilities:
- Monitor medium shot (two-shot atau singles)
- Monitor close-up angle (tight portrait framing)
- Ensure focus maintained (especially di f/1.8-f/2.8 shallow DOF)
- Watch for: Talent keluar frame, focus drift, exposure changes
Person 3: Audio Engineer
Responsibilities:
- Pre-recording: Mic check, gain staging, mute channels
- During recording: Monitor levels constantly (prevent clipping)
- Problem-solving: Fix audio issues real-time (background noise, mic position)
- Backup: Record multi-track untuk post-production flexibility
Can You Do It Solo or with 2 People?
Solo podcasting:
- ⚠️ Possible tapi very limiting
- Use: Locked-off wide shot only, atau single camera dengan auto-focus
- Audio: Set levels dulu, pray nothing goes wrong
- Result: Functional tapi tidak dynamic/professional
2-person crew:
- ⚠️ Workable dengan compromise
- Person 1: Handle 2 cameras (wide locked-off, monitor medium/close-up)
- Person 2: Dedicated audio engineer
- Trade-off: Less coverage, harder untuk catch perfect reaction shots
Bottom line: 3-person crew adalah minimum untuk professional multi-cam podcast. Anything less = compromises di coverage atau audio quality.
Part 7: Location dan Background Strategy (Depth Over Flat)
The Flat Background Problem
Kebanyakan orang itu pakai angle flat:
- ❌ Dinding flat di belakang talent
- ❌ No depth atau dimension
- ❌ Boring, “corporate conference room” look
- ❌ Talent tidak “pop” dari background
“Kebanyakan orang itu pakai angle yang flat gini doang—cuma talentnya dua, di sini background-nya jadi flat dan tidak ada depth-nya.”
Solution: Create Depth dengan Strategic Location Choice
Our Setup at Sayap Suci:
“Kalau kita lihat dari kamera wide, background-nya ke sini—kita bisa memanfaatkan background yang jauh ke sana karena ada kaca. Di angle kedua ini akan nice bokeh karena akan ada bokeh di belakang talent.”
Creating Depth – Key Principles:
- Distance from background
- Position talent 2-3 meter dari background
- Allows bokeh at f/1.8-f/2.8 (background blur)
- Creates separation (talent “pops” dari background)
- Layered elements
- Foreground: Talent
- Mid-ground: Desk, plants, props
- Background: Windows, shelves, distant objects
- Glass/reflections
- Windows create depth illusion
- Reflections add visual interest
- Natural light glow (even if artificial light used)
- Diagonal angles
- Shoot at 30-45° dari background wall
- Creates dynamic composition
- More visual interest daripada straight-on
Background Examples – Good vs Bad
| Bad Background | Good Background |
|---|---|
| Flat white wall 1m behind talent | Bookshelves 3m behind with objects at varying depths |
| Solid color backdrop close to subject | Windows dengan view outdoor (natural depth) |
| Bare wall, no visual interest | Plants, artwork, architectural elements with texture |
| Direct perpendicular angle to background | Diagonal angle creating leading lines |
Our Specific Setup Breakdown:
Wide shot:
- Background: Kaca/window ke area luar
- Depth: ~4-5 meter dari talent ke background visible through glass
- Result: Context, establish location, depth visible
Medium shot:
- Slight shift angle untuk different background plane
- Some bokeh starting at f/2.8-f/4
Close-up shot:
- Maximum compression dengan 85-135mm lens
- Background completely out of focus (creamy bokeh)
- Talent isolated, dramatic separation
“Cuma memang cuma satu doang yang di sini yang kena bokeh. Yang di sini (wide/medium) nanti kalau dilihat pasti hasilnya jauh lebih berbeda dan jauh lebih flat dan boring—tapi karena keterbatasan ruang jadi berpasalan.”
Part 8: Inspiration – Joe Rogan Experience Podcast Setup
