Kompan | Podcast Studio

Kompan is a small, well equipped podcast studio on the 5th floor in the Grófin City Library. 

We also offer a podcast studio in our library in Úlfarsárdalur - more info here.

The space is lined/filled with shelves full of beautiful books, which improve the acoustics.

Please note:

• Guests must have a valid Reykjavik City library card.
• Kompan opens at the same time as the library, but it closes an hour earlier.
• Guests can reserve Kompan for up to four hours at a time, for a max of 8 hours per week.

At Kompan it’s possible to simultaneously record up to four channels, each with its own mic, and there is seating for five people. Four can listen to the recording and sound mixing at the same time. Guests have access to a computer with the editing programs Audacity and Reaper, and the instructional manuals are available in the room.

Equipment:

• The RØDECaster Pro recorder
• Four RØDE Podcaster microphones
• Four headphones
• Pop-filter on each mic stand
