Broadcast Control Room Chairs for Live TV, Radio & Master Control

Live broadcast doesn't stop for a stretch break. Directors and technical directors call the show from the switcher. A1s ride the audio console. Replay operators, graphics, and master control stay locked on the monitor wall for an entire shift — and in a production truck, all of it happens in a tight, crowded space. The common thread is a forward lean toward the console and screens, held for hours.

Stealth chairs were built for that posture. Designed first for audio engineers at the mixing console, they support you while you're leaned in to work — not just when you're sitting back — which makes them a natural fit for broadcast control rooms, master control, and radio studios.

Why broadcast teams choose Stealth

  • Patented ZenWave forward-lean seat for long shifts at the switcher, audio console or monitor wall
  • Free-Float backrest that keeps lumbar support as you move between console and screens
  • Fits rotating crews: two piston heights included, tool-free removable 4D arms, adjustable footring
  • Compact profile with no headrest to block sightlines in crowded control rooms and trucks
  • 400 lb capacity, 5-year warranty, every part replaceable — ships within 48 business hours

Seating for Every Position in the Control Room

Directors & Technical Directors

Calling and cutting a live show means leaning toward the switcher and the monitor wall for the whole broadcast.

A1 & Broadcast Audio

The same forward-lean console posture Stealth was originally designed for, now on the broadcast audio desk.

Replay, Graphics & Playout

Fast, precise work on a control surface, shift after shift, with support that moves as you do.

Master Control & NOC

Long monitoring shifts in front of a wall of screens, shared by operators of every height and build.

Radio Hosts & Board Ops

Leaning in to the mic and the board for a full air shift. Optional quiet casters keep the chair off the air.

Production & OB Trucks

Tight positions and a chair that rides along. Removable arms, a compact profile, and replaceable parts suit life on the road.

Built for 24/7 Facilities and Shared Positions

  • One chair, many operators. Control room chairs get shared across shifts. Two included piston heights, tool-free 4D arms, and an adjustable footring make it quick to fit whoever is on.
  • Quiet on air. Designed to be silent in use. For radio studios and live sets, Stage Glide casters are non-marking and quiet, and chair glides keep a chair from rolling at all.
  • Raised consoles and standing positions. Use the taller included piston, or add the X-Tall cylinder for elevated desks.
  • Serviceable for years. A worn cylinder or caster is a quick part swap, not a new chair — important in rooms that never shut down.
  • Built for heavy use. Every model is rated for 400 lbs and backed by a 5-year warranty covering all parts against manufacturing defects.

Broadcast Seating FAQ

What makes a good broadcast control room chair?

Support for the way operators actually work — leaned in toward the switcher, console, or monitor wall for hours — plus quick adjustment for shared positions and parts you can replace instead of buying a new chair.

Can one chair work for operators of different sizes?

Yes. Two piston heights, removable 4D arms and an adjustable footring cover a wide range of operators. For a shared seat, size for your largest regular operator: the Pro if anyone is 6'0" or taller, or 200 lbs or heavier.

Are Stealth chairs quiet enough for radio and live studios?

They're designed to be silent in use, and Stage Glide casters add quiet, non-marking movement.

How fast do chairs ship?

Chairs ship from Nashville, TN or Centennial, CO within 48 business hours of your order. Shipping cost is quoted at checkout.

What's the weight capacity and warranty?

Every Stealth chair is rated for 400 lbs and backed by a 5-year warranty covering all parts against manufacturing defects.
