• Professional 8-input 2-bus mixer with premium mic preamps and 3-band EQs
• Professional large-diaphragm studio condenser microphone
• High-performance studio headphones with ultra-wide frequency response
• Table microphone stand, microphone windscreen and cable, four 1/4″ jack cables and two FireWire cables
• Powerful DAW software (Ableton Live Lite 4 BEHRINGER Edition, Kristal Audio Engine, Audacity)
• Illustrated quick-start guide “How to Podcast”
