Winter Park, FL (PRWEB) March 21, 2006
Studio1AProductions, the media umbrella enterprise for PodSqod.com and HamRadioCast.com has just opened a modern broadcast studio exclusively for Podcasting in Downtown Orlando.
Managing Partner for Studio1AProductions, Mark Jensen says “I envisioned a fully equipped studio that would surpass the technology of even a traditional broadcast environment. …Studio1A has lived up to that challenge.”
Jensen continues, “Being a full-time Podcaster meant a new level of dedication and that dedication shines in Studio1A. As I do my daily PodSqod Morning Edition show, I wanted to take Podcasting to the next level.”
From the new Auralex Tile product featured on “Extreme Home Makeover”, to triple redundant digital mastering recorders, exclusive use of Heil PR-40 microphones, and both vocal/broadcast processing provided by Aphex, Symetrix and Orban, Jensens Studio1A contains the ‘best of the best.’
What is next for the Studio1A Media Enterprise? Jensen explains, “While Studio1A reflects the ultimate in broadcast dedication to Podcasting, my next project takes a different turn. I’m not abandoning the high-end trend for Studio1A, but I do want to offer a high quality audio experience for those that are not able to make a Studio1A type investment. The next move is one I can’t fully divulge at this time, but I will say that the goal is in line with the very principals of Podcasting. …bring quality audio means to people and they will provide the content”
