Seat choice
Each seat gets its own microphone. We note the track layout so the edit does not swap host and guest.
Conversation podcast at the round table
Three hours at the round table, split tracks, optional rough cut. The block costs EUR 620 including 19% VAT — built for series that sit in the same chairs.
Podcasts that live as conversation need less picture direction than a talk show and more quiet than an interview with inserts. At the round table in Prenzlauer Berg, hosts and guests sit at one height. Microphones come from above and from the table; cameras stay documentary if the episode also appears as video.
The three-hour block covers arrival, levelling, two talk blocks and a short pause. Teams planning four episodes in a row take the series package. Delivery containers sit in the formats guide.
Four steps in the block
Level without a small-talk trap
The level pass is short. Content rehearsal counts as block time.
Two blocks
Two long takes around a pause are typical. Water sits on the table, glasses without brand lettering.
Optional rough cut
In the episode-plus-rough-cut package we remove stumbles and the pause; a music fine cut stays extra.
Which series the table is for
Conversation series with two to four voices, interview podcasts without a studio audience, internal briefings that later appear as audio. No live audience, no open phone-in. Remote guests belong in hybrid links.
Many Berlin desks use the block as a monthly slot. Recognition comes from the same chairs, not from a finished channel design; client scenery is welcome if it stays free of readable marks.
Sound before picture
Split tracks are the actual service. The stereo sum is for a fast send to the desk. If video is added, it stays a calm multi-camera without a switcher show. The Dante bus writes 48 kHz/24-bit.
Headphones are ready; they usually sit around necks in the pause, not permanently on ears, so the picture does not look like a broadcast cockpit.
What hosts prepare
Topic notes, name pronunciation, consent, planned published length. Captions are booked in post per film minute. Travel: U2 Eberswalder Straße, six minutes.
The desk's own recorders may run in parallel if they do not fill the table. We do not support a second sound bench outside the Dante network.
Handover, revisions, rights
WAV tracks and sum within 48 hours after the block. Two revision rounds cover missing tracks, wrong labels, obvious house noise. Content cuts beyond the rough cut are editing work.
Four-episode series EUR 3680 incl. VAT. Deposit 40 percent on the package. Archive 18 months per episode from its acceptance. Rights after payment in full of that episode or of the package, depending on how the invoice is split.

Questions on this service
Can five people sit at the table?
Four voices are the limit for clean splits in this room. A fifth person moves into conversation-room seating.
Is video required?
No. The block is a sound service. We add cameras on request without changing the rate, as long as talk-show direction is not required.
How long may the published episode be?
The desk decides. The block lasts three hours including level and pause.
Can we hold the same monthly slot?
Yes, if the request arrives in time. There is no automatic renewal without confirmation.

Why the round table is not a mini show floor
Conversation podcasts live on split tracks, not on switching. At the round table on Lychener Straße, up to four voices each get a microphone into the Dante network. The stereo sum is the fast send to the desk, not the master. The three-hour block for EUR 620 incl. VAT (EUR 521.01 net) covers arrival, level, two blocks and a pause. Content rehearsal counts as block time; teams that need an hour of small talk before the topic book the next block or move to the interview hourly rate.
Video is optional and stays documentary. As soon as talk-show direction with four cameras and a switcher is required, the show floor is the right booking. Remote guests belong in hybrid links. There is no audience at the table. Headphones are ready and sit around necks in the pause so the picture does not look like a cockpit if a camera does run.
The episode-plus-rough-cut package costs EUR 980 incl. VAT (EUR 823.53 net) and removes stumbles and the pause. A fine cut with jingle and music bed stays extra, as do captions per film minute. A four-episode series costs EUR 3680 incl. VAT (EUR 3092.44 net). Deposit 40 percent on the package. Archive 18 months per episode from acceptance. Rights after payment in full of that invoice. We reply to requests within two working days at hello@voxlyra.click.
Many Berlin desks reuse the same monthly slot. There is no automatic renewal without confirmation. Travel: U2 Eberswalder Straße. Own recorders may run in parallel if they do not fill the table. We do not support a second sound bench outside the Dante network. Minimum age 16. Two revision rounds cover missing tracks and wrong labels, not a dramatic recut.
