Starting your own podcast in 2025? Whether it’s for YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts — the right podcast setup in Pakistan makes all the difference in audio quality and listener experience.
If you’re in Pakistan with a budget between Rs. 100,000 to 150,000, this guide is for you. At Pro Camera Lahore, we help beginners turn their ideas into professional-sounding podcasts with the right gear.
🎯 Step-by-Step: What You Need for a Podcast Setup in 2025
You don’t need a studio or expensive equipment to get started. With careful planning and the right tools, your podcast can sound crisp, clean, and professional. Here’s what you’ll need:
🎤 1. Microphone – The Heart of Your Podcast
Good audio starts with a good mic. For beginner podcasters, we recommend:
- BOYA BY-M1000 Pro (XLR Studio Mic) – Excellent sound clarity, with multiple polar patterns for solo or interview formats.
- Rode PodMic – A popular dynamic XLR microphone with broadcast-quality sound.
- BOYA K3 USB Mic – Plug & play mic with RGB lights for a budget-friendly and stylish desktop setup.
💡 Pro Tip: Use an XLR mic with an audio interface for better control and future upgrades.
🎛️ 2. Audio Interface / Mixer
To connect an XLR mic to your computer and manage audio levels, you’ll need:
- Focusrite Scarlett Solo (3rd Gen) – Compact and clean-sounding interface for 1 mic.
- MaonoCaster Lite AU-AM200 – A budget-friendly mixer/interface combo with sound effects, ideal for beginners.
🎧 3. Headphones for Monitoring
Don’t rely on laptop speakers. Get a pair of closed-back headphones to monitor sound:
- Audio-Technica ATH-M20x – Affordable and accurate for recording/editing.
- BOYA Studio Monitoring Headphones – Solid quality for a tighter budget.
🖥️ 4. Mic Stand & Pop Filter
Avoid table vibrations and plosives by adding:
- Adjustable boom arm mic stand
- Pop filter or foam windscreen – Essential for clean speech recording
💻 5. Recording Software (Free)
Use free software like:
- Audacity (Windows/macOS)
- GarageBand (Mac users)
- Anchor.fm (for uploading episodes online)
