Studio
It takes a lot of hardware and software to create and stream my video content. Here’s a summary of the equipment and software that I use to make my video courses and live streams.
The mic:
Heil Sound PR 40
The Heil Sound PR 40 microphone that I use today is the one I’ve been using since the very beginning. The evolution of my studio has been a lot of trial and error, but the PR 40 was a winner from the start.
The camera:
Panasonic Lumix S5IIX
Panasonic produces some amazing 4K cameras! I use the stock 20-60mm lens kit.
The video switcher:
Blackmagic Design ATEM 2 M/E Constellation 4K
Our video switcher is the heart of the operation, and the Blackmagic Design ATEM switcher provides 4K video switching for our on-demand training courses and live stream events.
The audio mixer:
Mackie DLZ Creator
The most important part of my video series is actually the audio. My newest mixer combines audio controls, USB audio interfaces, and advanced audio effects.

Shure SE215-CL In-ear Monitors/Headphones
