Broadcast Studio Help

The other day I asked for help selecting items for my broadcast studio.
This is what I have so far. Am I on the right track?
What else do I need? Money is no object. All suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance.

sounds cheapo. Especially if the signal will be compressed for streaming.
Same with cameras. Plastic lenses look shitty compared to well made optics.
Better production tools make for better productions.

That’s a fine collection of gear maybe some excessive unless you know why you’re buying it.
