TASCAM Mixcast 4 Overview

Start a four-person podcast with the TASCAM Mixcast 4 Four-Person Podcast Value Kit from B&H. In addition to the podcast mixer-recorder with multitracking, loopback, and sound-effect pads, you get four 512 AUDIO Limelight microphones, four sets of headphones, four boom arms with XLR cables, color ID rings, and a memory card.

TASCAM Mixcast 4 Podcast Mixer, Recorder, and USB Audio Interface

Record a podcast with up to four people with the TASCAM Mixcast 4, a tabletop mixer and recorder with sound effects, independent headphone outputs, and mix-minus functionality, for live or streamed guests and more. With the Mixcast 4, you'll have everything you need to record a high-quality multicast podcast straight to an SD card or straight to a stereo USB feed, for instantaneous streaming over your favorite platform.

You'll enjoy the form factor of eight faders at your fingertips, as well as the eight sound-effect pads, and the built-in 5" touchscreen for deeper control. You'll be able to record up to 14 tracks at a time straight to an SD card, or record stereo over USB straight to your DAW, or streaming platform. In addition to TASCAM's Podcast Editor Software, the Mixcast 4 ships with an included AC adapter and a USB Type-C cable.

Comprehensive Recording for Podcasting
Record up to four people in person with the built-in mic pres, which accept XLR-1/4" connections for all manner of microphones. In addition, you'll find stereo line inputs with selectable 1/4" or 3.5mm connections to interface with phones and consumer devices. Pair this with a Bluetooth input for wireless connections to phones and devices, and you'll have everything you need to capture audio for all your guests.
Mix-Minus Functionality
Stereo line inputs and the Bluetooth inputs both come with mix-minus functionality, so your remote guests won't hear an echo of themselves when they're talking.
Headphones Galore
Four independently controlled headphone outputs are on hand, but that's not all. A 3.5mm TRRS headphone output mirrors headphone output 1, should you only have a headset with a 3.5mm connection on hand. The Mixcast 4 also provides a Talkback function that allows you to speak to the participants privately over their headphones, as well as guests connected via USB, smartphone, and Bluetooth.
Pads and Faders
With 8 faders and 8 sound pads (in 8 banks) under your fingers, you'll feel like a consummate professional. You'll have full sound pad control for editing and triggering sound effects, and transport functionality for one-touch recording. Adjust levels between pads and switch sound pad banks while recording for access to more sounds. There's even a normalizing function for pad sources.
Export Files in Multiple Formats
Export files in WAV, MP3, and MP4 formats.
Record How You Like, When You Like
Record to an SD card to work without a computer, or route the Mixcast 4 into a Mac, Windows, iOS, or Android device for a 14-in / 2-out audio capture.
Included Software
The Mixcast 4 comes with TASCAM's Podcast Editor software, for basic editing and mixing duties as well as control over the sound pads.

512 AUDIO Limelight Dynamic Vocal XLR Microphone
Brought about by Warm Audio's team of expert engineers specifically for podcasters, live streamers, and broadcasters, the 512 AUDIO Limelight dynamic vocal XLR microphone offers build quality, tone, and features that extend beyond its price class. Like all of Warm Audio's pro audio gear, the Limelight mic is designed to produce a great sound without gratuitous tweaking after the recording.
It utilizes a large-diaphragm dynamic capsule and special circuity, tuned for optimal clarity and richness of speech. Even more directional than cardioid mics, the Limelight opts for a hypercardioid polar pattern to capture your voice with less background noise. If traffic-induced rumble or excessive bass from proximity effect need to be lessened, simply switch on the internal high-pass filter. As a passive dynamic mic, it needs no phantom power; just connect its XLR 3-pin output to a mic preamp with an XLR mic cable (available separately) and crank up the gain.
This microphone is part of the B&H Virtual Mic Locker, an online tool to help our valued customers determine the sonic differences between popular microphones for podcasting and voice over work. Each microphone was recorded using a Grace Design M103 preamp into a Presonus Quantum 2626 interface.
Clarity of Speech
Limelight is precision-tuned to focus on the frequencies that capture the richness of voice and speech, so your audience can enjoy your talk-focused content with the clarity you'd expect from a world-class broadcast facility.
Built on Legacy
Designed by an expert team of engineers and built on the vintage-inspired legacy of Warm Audio, Limelight combines a large-diaphragm dynamic capsule with special circuitry to produce smooth, clear broadcast audio with a 50 Hz to 15 kHz frequency response that's sculpted for close-range vocal duty.
More Voice and Less Noise
With a hyper-focused pickup pattern that's nearly 20% narrower than a standard cardioid microphone, Limelight captures your voice while rejecting unwanted room noise around you.
No Pops
A built-in pop shield blocks intrusive plosives from consonants like p, b, and f, for an uncompromised sound and less audio cleanup in post.
Goodbye Rumble
The switchable 100 Hz low-frequency filter prevents unwanted noise and low-end rumble, for more control over your sound.
Easy Setup
Included with Limelight is a 360° swivel mount, which helps you achieve perfect placement on a mic stand or boom arm.
Auray BA-XE4 Broadcast Arm with Integrated XLR Cable

Outfit your home or pro studio with the Auray BA-XE4, a sturdy, two-section broacast boom arm that supports broadcast-style microphones up to 3.5 lb. With its integrated 10' XLR cable and virtually noiseless operation, this boom arm will come in handy for podcasting or radio-style broadcasting.

The BA-XE4 sports a spring design engineered to provide maximal support to microphones. It provides plenty of range for positioning. Use the standard 5/8"-27 mic mount to acommodate most shockmounts and mic clips, and reposition the angle of the mount at will. When you've got it just right, you can lock it in place with the locking knob.

In addition to the included XLR cable, the BA-XE4 ships with two types of clamps. Use the C-clamp for temporary installations, or use the tabletop flange mount for a permanent installation on a broadcast station or podium.

Lightweight Steel Construction
The BA-XE4's steel construction makes it a sturdy, reliable, and durable studio accessory.
Support Mics up to 3.5 lb
This sturdy broadcast arm can support mics up to 3.5 pounds, which is plenty of strength to hold a Rode Podcaster, or the Senal SCM-660 and a shockmount.
Integrated XLR Cable
A 10' XLR mic cable is integrated into the arm to minimize cable clutter, so you don't have to go through the hassle of threading and weaving a cable through the arm. This makes mic setup and attachment fast and easy.
Smooth, Noise-Free Operation
The arm is designed to move noiselessly and minimize handling noise when you're readjusting the mic or swiveling it over to another person. Repositioning the microphone will not interrupt or compromise your audio.
5/8-27 Threaded Microphone Mount
The industry-standard 5/8-27 threaded microphone mount is compatible with most shockmounts and microphone clips.
Wide Range of Motion
An extension of up to 38" and the ability to rotate the arm 360° allow for precise microphone placement. And once you've put your mic in an optimal position, you can be sure it stays there, because the ergonomic locking knobs give you plenty of torque to tighten and fix the mic's position.
Mounting Options
The BA-XE4 broadcast arm comes with options of convenient temporary mounting or more permanent installation. The included C-clamp is for temporary and movable fastening to a desktop or workstation. The flange mount screws into a flat surface for permanent installation on a broadcast station or podium.
Compatible Products
The BA-XE4 will work with nearly any broadcast-style microphone weighing up to 3.5 lb. It is especially compatible with microphones such as the Senal SC-550X Professional Cardioid Condenser Microphone, the UB-440 Professional USB Microphone, and the SCM-660 Large-Diaphragm Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone. You can also use the PCR-65 Cardioid Condenser Microphone, RM-650 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone, RM-800 Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone, and more.
