Aura House Club

Aura House Club runs podcast and video production studios in Downtown Los Angeles, with its flagship campus at 1200 South Figueroa Street in South Park, across from Crypto.com Arena. The studios are booked by the hour with cameras, lights and microphones set up before arrival, either self-service, with a technician who runs the cameras and live-edits the episode, or as a full production with a two- to three-person crew. According to Aura House Club, ESPN, DAZN, Sports Illustrated, NBC, Netflix, the NBA and the NFL have produced content in its studios, and guests have included Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass, Stephen A. Smith and Rob Lowe. Shows recorded here include The Mark Jackson Show and the Open Floor NBA podcast with Chris Mannix and Rachel Nichols.

Studios at 1200 South Figueroa

• Skyline View: the flagship podcast set, with floor-to-ceiling windows over the Downtown LA skyline, seating for four on camera and room for nine people in total.
• Interior Set: a smaller interview set with adjustable hue lighting for two on camera and up to five people.

Aura House Club also runs Sky Loft, a two-story penthouse studio with a private rooftop on East Eighth Street, a loft-style studio on Santee Street in the Garment District, and a newer studio in Beverly Hills near LACMA.

Cameras, audio and lighting

• Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 6K G2 cameras and a Sony FX3
• Shure SM7B microphones and a Rodecaster Pro II mixer
• ATEM Mini Pro ISO live switching and Aputure lighting

Clients bring their own SD cards or SSD, so the footage leaves with them at the end of the session.

Hours, access and parking

The studios are open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., and off-hours sessions can be arranged. All studios are wheelchair accessible and have Wi-Fi, and full productions include a green room for hair, makeup and wardrobe. Parking is in the building’s garage, and the concierge in the West Tower lobby directs guests to the studio.
