Great Sound and Lighting
If you’re using The Nest, it’s probably to record an audio podcast or audiobook, so having great sound is a must.
But lighting is important too, especially if you want to capture some fun behind-the-scenes photos with your guests. Don’t worry, we’ll take care of everything.
