Studio Design Consultation
Thinking of building a podcast or content studio in your own workplace? Before you spend a dollar on gear, talk to us. We’re constantly called in to fix studios that began with a mix of good and bad advice — the wrong room chosen for space and acoustics, and money already sunk into the wrong equipment. Our consultation takes the guesswork out of it: we assess your space, your team and your goals, then hand you a clear plan for exactly what to build and buy. One fixed price, and you walk away knowing precisely how to turn your room into a professional studio — before making a single expensive mistake.
Before we visit
We start by gathering the details on your existing equipment and the content you’re already producing, so we arrive already understanding your setup and where you want to take it.
The site visit
We come on site for a focused 30-minute meeting in your proposed room with your creative team. This gives us a firm picture of how you work, who’ll be using the space, and exactly what the studio needs to do for you.
Measuring the space
Left alone in the room, we measure up, photograph, and take detailed notes — mapping the best positions for cameras, equipment and furniture, and assessing the room itself for space and acoustics.
The right room & acoustics
Choosing the wrong room is the most common and costly mistake we see. We assess noise levels, acoustics and soundproofing needs so your studio sounds professional from day one — not like a meeting recorded in an office.
The right lighting
Good lighting is what separates a polished production from a webcam call. We plan lighting positions and recommend the right setup to make your team look their best on camera.
Matching your team & budget
We factor in your team’s technical skills and your budget, so you’re recommended a studio you can actually run and afford — not an over-complicated rig that sits unused.
Planning for the future
We consider where your content is heading, so the studio you build today still serves you as your ambitions grow.
The full report
Within 24 hours of our visit, we deliver a clear written report: recommended equipment, cameras, lighting, acoustic treatment, soundproofing, furniture and training — all tailored to your space, your team and your budget. It’s your complete roadmap to a working studio.
