Podcast studio hire in Sydney,
with an operator in the room.

Konnect Studios is a fully equipped podcast recording studio in Parramatta with a dedicated operator on every session. Broadcast microphones, cinematic cameras and a two camera live switched setup are already built, tested and ready. You bring the conversation. Hire the room by the hour or rent it for a full day. It is a video podcast studio as much as an audio one, and every session is filmed in 4K by default rather than as an add on.

From $174 an hour Studio operator included Up to 4 guests Two sets, one booking 4K on every camera Book 1, 2, 4 or 8 hours

What every podcast studio booking includes

No hire lists, no hidden extras. Whether you hire the room for an hour or rent it for a full day, the same kit is in every session and it is set up before you arrive.

Shure SM7dB microphones, four channels

The broadcast standard for spoken word. Up to four positions, each recorded on its own channel so voices can be balanced separately after the session.

A video podcast studio, two Sony FX30 cameras in 4K

A two camera podcast studio setup as standard. Both cameras are framed and colour matched before your session starts, so the footage cuts together straight away.

Blackmagic ATEM live switching

Angles are cut live to a director's feed, so your edit starts from a finished timeline rather than four separate files.

A studio operator runs the room

Every booking includes an operator who sets up before you arrive and manages the technology for the whole session. No technical experience needed on your side.

A treated recording studio, minus 40 dB isolation

Charcoal acoustic panels and isolated rooms for a clean, dry recording. This is a treated studio, not a meeting room with a microphone in it.

Full lighting rig and Wi-Fi

Low key cinematic lighting on The Vault, warm natural light on The Luxe, plus Wi-Fi and access to the lounge area for you and your guests.

How a podcast session runs at our Parramatta studio

The studio is set up before you arrive. This is the shape of a session from the door through to the finished episode.

1

Book by the hour

Sessions run in 1, 2, 4 and 8 hour blocks. One hour is enough to test a format, and a full day suits a batch of episodes. We recommend booking 48 to 72 hours ahead to hold your preferred slot.

2

Arrive and settle in

Park on site or walk six minutes from Parramatta station. Your operator has already set the room, so you drop your gear, meet your guests and use the lounge area until you are ready.

3

Levels and framing

A Shure SM7dB is set for each person on its own channel, and both Sony FX30 cameras are framed and colour matched before recording starts.

4

Record with the operator running the room

You have the conversation. The operator manages audio and cuts camera angles live on the Blackmagic ATEM, so what comes out is already a director's feed rather than raw files to assemble.

5

Switch sets inside the same booking

Move between The Vault and The Luxe whenever the format calls for it. No extra hire and no reset fee.

6

Edit and publish

Capture hands over the recording. Craft adds trimming, colour grading, subtitles, a full episode edit, five reels and one teaser. Conquer adds motion graphics and custom sound design. The Flagship package carries it through to publishing on every platform.

For a full production package, the Flagship service runs from content strategy through recording and editing to publishing, with colour graded video, mixed audio, captions, motion graphics and platform specific cuts delivered within 3 days.

One booking replaces four separate suppliers

The hourly rate covers the room and everything that normally gets quoted separately. This is what sits inside it.

Included in every session

  • The recording room, acoustic treated to minus 40 dB
  • A dedicated studio operator for the whole session
  • Two Sony FX30 cameras recording 4K video
  • Blackmagic ATEM live switching to a director's feed
  • Up to four Shure SM7dB microphones, each on its own channel
  • Full lighting rig, Wi-Fi and lounge area access
  • Both sets, The Vault and The Luxe, in a single booking
  • Editing on Craft and Conquer sessions

What you do not have to arrange

  • A separate technician or audio engineer
  • Camera hire, or a second camera operator
  • A vision mixer for multi angle recording
  • Microphone and stand hire
  • A lighting kit for the room
  • A second booking to change the look of the set
  • An editor, if you book Craft or Conquer

A cheaper room rate is the right answer when you already own the cameras, know how to run audio and have an editor. If one of those three is missing, the cheaper hour stops being the cheaper episode.

Where the podcast recording studio is: 111 Phillip St, Parramatta

Suite 02, Level 1, 111 Phillip St, Parramatta NSW 2150. Six minutes on foot from Parramatta station, close to the CBD with easy access from all major arterials.

Street and private parking

Park at the building rather than paying for a station car park or a tower in the CBD. Tell us how many cars when you book.

6 minute walk from Parramatta station

Walk from the station concourse straight to Phillip Street, in the heart of the Parramatta CBD, a few minutes from Parramatta Square and Westfield Parramatta.

On the Parramatta Light Rail line

The light rail runs from Westmead through the Parramatta CBD out to Carlingford, with stops at Rydalmere, Dundas and Telopea. If you are on that line you can reach the studio without driving.

Off the M4 and Church Street

A short run from the M4 Motorway and James Ruse Drive, with Church Street and Eat Street a few minutes away for anything before or after a session.

Open 24 hours, 7 days a week

Early morning, late night and weekend sessions are all normal here, so you can record whenever suits you and your guests.

Replies within 4 hours

Send a booking enquiry and we confirm availability and send everything you need to prepare, usually the same working day.

Studio tours available

If you would rather see the room before committing to a session, book a tour and walk both sets first.

Looking for a podcast studio near you in Western Sydney?

The studio sits in the Parramatta CBD, inside the City of Parramatta. Most of the suburbs people travel from share that local government area, and four of them are stops on a light rail line that ends a few minutes from the door.

Suburbs on the Parramatta Light Rail line

Parramatta Light Rail Stage 1 runs from Westmead through the Parramatta CBD out to Carlingford. If you are on that line you reach the studio without driving or parking, which is why teams from the northern corridor book here rather than in town.

Suburbs inside the City of Parramatta

The studio and the suburbs below share a local government area, which usually means a trip of a few kilometres rather than a drive across Sydney. Harris Park and Rosehill are the closest of all, under five minutes away.

A short drive from the studio

Outside the council boundary, these are the areas guests most often drive in from. If you have been searching for a podcast studio near you and everything comes back in the Sydney CBD, this is the easier alternative: quicker to reach by car from anywhere west of Strathfield, with parking on site rather than a paid tower car park in town.

Two institutional neighbours are worth naming. Western Sydney University has a campus in the Parramatta CBD and another at Rydalmere, and the Westmead health precinct sits at the western end of the light rail line. Research and teaching teams from both book the room for interview series without leaving the area.

If you are coming from further out, tell us when you book and the room will be set before you arrive, so none of your session goes on setup.

Hiring a podcast studio in Sydney: questions answered

How much does podcast studio hire cost in Sydney?

Studio hire at Konnect Studios starts at $174 per hour on our Capture session, with the operator and all equipment included. There are no separate gear or technician fees. A two hour Craft session with a full edit is $774, and Conquer is $1,149. This is pre launch pricing, valid until September only.

What is included in the studio hire?

Every podcast studio hire includes Shure SM7dB microphones, Sony FX30 cameras recording 4K, a full lighting rig, Blackmagic ATEM live switching, acoustic panels, a studio operator, Wi-Fi and access to the lounge area. Both sets, The Vault and The Luxe, are included in the same booking.

How long can I book the podcast studio for?

The studio is bookable by the hour, in 1, 2, 4 and 8 hour packages. One hour is enough to record a single episode and test a format. Four and eight hour blocks suit batching a series in one visit.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking at least 48 to 72 hours in advance to guarantee your preferred time slot. Same day bookings are based on availability, so contact us directly to check.

Do I need technical experience to record a podcast here?

None at all. Every booking is a podcast studio with an operator included. They set everything up before you arrive, manage the technology during your session and make sure audio and video levels are right. You focus on the conversation.

Is the podcast studio open on Saturdays?

Yes. The studio is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so Saturday and Sunday sessions can be booked at any hour.

Is there parking at the studio?

Yes. Street parking and private parking are both available at the building, which is one of the main reasons teams west of the CBD book here rather than in town.

Where is the studio located?

Suite 02, Level 1, 111 Phillip St, Parramatta NSW 2150. It is six minutes on foot from Parramatta station, close to the CBD with easy access from all major arterials.

Can I bring my own equipment or crew?

Yes to both. Bring your own microphones, cameras or a producer if you have them. Let the operator know when you book so the room is set up for the way you work.

Can I get editing and publishing included?

Yes. Craft covers the full episode edit with five reels, one teaser and subtitles. Conquer adds motion graphics and custom sound design. Our Flagship package covers everything from studio hire through to edited, published content, delivering colour graded video, mixed audio, captions, motion graphics and platform specific cuts within 3 days.

What is your cancellation policy?

Cancellations made more than 48 hours before your booking receive a full refund. Within 48 hours, a 50 percent cancellation fee applies. Rescheduling is always free with 24 hours notice.

Can I see the studio before I book?

Yes. Book a studio tour and walk through both The Vault and The Luxe before committing to a session.

What do I need to bring to my session?

Your talking points and your guests. Everything technical is here and set up before you arrive, so you bring yourself and we handle the rest. If you would rather record from your own laptop, or bring your own microphones, cameras or a producer, that is fine too. Let the operator know when you book so the room is patched for it.

Can I rent the podcast studio by the hour?

Yes. The studio is available to rent by the hour, with 1, 2, 4 and 8 hour packages. Hourly rental starts at $174 and includes the operator, both cameras, the microphones and the lighting rig, so there is nothing further to add on.

Is there a podcast studio near me in Western Sydney?

If you are in Parramatta, Harris Park, Westmead, Granville, Rosehill, Merrylands, Northmead, North Parramatta, Rydalmere, Telopea, Dundas, Wentworthville or Toongabbie, the studio is within a few kilometres. Westmead, Rydalmere, Dundas and Telopea are all on the Parramatta Light Rail line that ends in the CBD where we are. Blacktown, Auburn, Lidcombe and Sydney Olympic Park are a short drive, and most of Greater Western Sydney is inside 30 minutes.

How does this compare with a podcast studio in the Sydney CBD?

Same production standard, with parking on site rather than a paid tower car park, and a shorter trip from anywhere west of Strathfield. If your guests are travelling from the Hills or the west, Parramatta is usually the easier meeting point.

Is this a video podcast studio or audio only?

It is a video podcast studio as much as an audio one. Every session is filmed in 4K on two Sony FX30 cameras by default, not as a paid add on, and angles are cut live to a director's feed during the recording.
