Four voices at one table need four inputs, four headphone mixes and four mics that sound alike. This 4-person podcast bundle is built around the Zoom PodTrak P4next, a compact recorder with four XLR inputs and four independent headphone outputs, paired with four Rode PodMic dynamic microphones, four pairs of studio headphones, desk stands and cables. Everything a panel show, roundtable or family podcast needs to start recording on day one.

Why This 4-Person Podcast Kit Works
One input and one headphone mix per host. The P4next gives each of the four hosts their own XLR input and their own headphone output with independent volume, so nobody shares a headphone splitter or listens at someone else's level.
Enough gain for dynamic mics, no boosters needed. Dynamic broadcast mics like the PodMic need plenty of clean gain. The P4next delivers up to +70dB on every input, so you don't need an inline booster for each mic.
Every voice recorded separately. The P4next records a ready-to-publish stereo mix plus an isolated track for each input, so you can fix one host's levels or cut a cough in editing without touching anyone else.
Cleaner sound in untreated rooms. Built-in AI noise reduction, tone shaping and voice compression help smooth out room noise and sudden volume jumps, and the PodMic's dynamic design picks up less of the room than a condenser mic.
Add remote guests. Bring in up to two remote guests over USB, Bluetooth (optional BTA-2 adapter) or a smartphone TRRS cable, with built-in mix-minus to prevent echo. That's four people in the room plus two calling in.
Records anywhere. Run the P4next on two AA batteries (up to 8.5 hours on lithium with dynamic mics) or over USB-C, and use it as a USB audio interface when you want to record into your computer or livestream.
