Audio is captured through Shure SM7dB microphones and routed into a RØDECaster Pro, while switching is handled through a Blackmagic ATEM system.

When Should You Choose the DMC Studio?
Choose the DMC studio if you are based in or frequently meet clients in Media City, Internet City, Knowledge Village, Dubai Marina, or Palm Jumeirah.
