Studio setup: we build the room you film in

A room with clean sound that looks right on day one. We plan it. We pick every part. We fix the echo. We fit it all. And we show you the gear list and the price before you call us.

A studio is a system, not a shopping list

Most company studios fail the same three ways. The sound echoes. The light is flat. And most of the money went on a camera nobody needed, while the mic was an afterthought.

The gear is rarely the problem. The problem is buying four things on their own: a room, a lighting plan, a sound plan and a gear list. They have to work as one.

So we work in a fixed order. First, what will you film? Then, what room does that need? Only then, what gear?

A weekly talking-head video needs a different room from a two-host podcast. A live demo needs a different room again. Get the order right and a small budget looks good. Get it wrong and costly gear still looks cheap.

This is for companies that plan to film often. Marketing teams. Founders. Teams building video in-house who need a room anyone can use.

If you will film once and never again, you do not need us. If filming will become a habit, a proper room is what makes that habit cheap.

What goes into the room

Room plan

A room plan built for what you film and the space you have. Where the cameras go. Where people sit. The backdrop, the cables and the power.

Gear list by budget

Real camera, lens, light and mic models at three budgets. You buy the right kit once. No vague wish list. No pushing gear you will not use.

Lighting

Lights that make people look good and stay the same every take. Simple positions your team can set up again in minutes.

Sound treatment

Panels go where the sound actually bounces. We pick the right mics and place them well. Clean sound in a normal office room.

Podcast & multi-mic setups

One mic per person, each recorded on its own. Clean sound with two, three or four people. Ready for video podcasts too.

Fitting and training

We fit it and set it up across India. Then we train your team and leave written notes, so anyone can run the room.

The studios we build

Each kind of room has its own guide. It shows the room, the gear by name and what it costs, from a starter kit to a fitted studio. Photos are stock examples.

Office and boardroom studios

Many of the rooms we build are inside an office. Two kinds come up most.

A studio in your office

This is a meeting room or a spare cabin turned into a room for filming. Founder videos, product demos, training videos and a company podcast can all come out of it.

An office room has its own problems. The air conditioning hums. The walls are glass. People walk past. The room is booked for meetings half the week. So we plan around them:

  • Mics that pick up the voice and ignore the room
  • Panels and a rug to stop the echo from glass and bare walls
  • Silent lights fixed in place, so nobody sets them up again
  • Cameras that stay framed, with settings saved
  • One switch to turn it all on, and a written checklist by the door

The aim is a room that anyone on your team can walk into and record in. Our three plans fit this room. See the gear list and prices, or price your room.

Conference rooms for video calls

A boardroom has a different job. Nobody is making a video. People only need to be seen and heard clearly on a call.

Most bad video-call rooms fail on sound, not on the screen. One mic sits at the far end of a long table. The room echoes. The people at the other end hear every second word.

We set up:

  • Mics along the table or in the ceiling, so every seat is heard
  • Speakers that play the far side clearly without feeding back into the mics
  • A camera placed at eye level, wide enough to show the whole table
  • A screen sized for the room
  • Treatment for the echo, where the room needs it
  • One cable or one button to join, on Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams

A conference room is priced after we see it. The table size, the ceiling and the walls decide the gear. If the same room must also work as a filming studio, tell us at the start. It changes the plan.

Bigger venues follow the same thinking. For a town hall that goes out live, see live streaming studio setup.

From empty room to first recording in four steps

1

Assess

We check your space, power, internet and sound. Then we agree what you will film.

2

Design and gear list

You get a room plan, a light and sound plan, and a gear list with real models and prices.

3

Build

We fit it and set it up in Bengaluru and across India.

4

Train & hand over

We train your team and leave notes, so they can film without us in the room.

Two ways to work, one plan

In India, this is end-to-end and hands-on. We design the room. We buy the gear. We fit it at your office in Bengaluru. We also travel across Karnataka and the rest of India. You end up with a working room and a trained team. You never have to read a spec sheet. Podcast studio setup in Bangalore is one of our most-requested builds, and the same crew handles YouTube and live-streaming rooms. We also set up live streaming and recording for places of worship. See church and temple live streaming setup.

For teams in the US, UK and Australia, we run studio setup as a remote consultation. You get the full plan. The layout, the lights, the sound and a gear list you can buy locally. Then we join live calls while you set it up. It is the same plan we use on site. What remote design includes and costs.

Remote studio design for teams outside India

We fit studios in India. Outside India, we do not send anyone. We design your room by video call, and your team or a local fitter builds it.

What you get

  • A call where you walk us through the room on video
  • A room layout: where cameras, lights, people and the backdrop go
  • A light plan and a sound plan
  • A gear list with real model names that you can buy in your own country
  • Wiring diagrams
  • Live calls while you set it up, and a check of your first test recording

It is the same plan we use on site in India. Only the pair of hands changes.

What it costs

Remote design is paid consulting time: $250 an hour for teams in the US, UK and Australia. In India the same time is ₹25,000 an hour plus GST. Gear is bought by you, from your own supplier.

See how paid time works.

Who it suits

A team that can drill a wall and follow a diagram. A company with a facilities person or a local electrician. A church or temple abroad with a handy volunteer team.

It does not suit a room that needs building work. For that, hire a local contractor and bring us in for the design.

Buy the kit, or have the room built

Not every room needs us. A one-person podcast or a desk for YouTube can start with a ready kit. A company room that many people will use is a build.

Do it yourself

Buy a ready kit

OneProGear is our own gear store. It sells kits by job: podcast, YouTube, live streaming, online teaching and more. Podcast kits start at ₹24,770 with GST. Every order has a GST invoice and the maker’s India warranty.

Its free studio planner takes your room size and what you film, and gives you a layout and a gear list that works together.

Done for you

We design, fit and train

We plan the room, pick every part, treat the sound, fit and wire it all, and train your team. Plans start at ₹8.79 L of equipment, about ₹10.11 L all in with setup and training.

Already bought some gear? We can still plan the room, fit it and train your people.

Cities we work in

See how we think before you hire us

We are two partners in Bengaluru. We have worked on channels like Heartfulness and Pot and Bloom. We own and run Home Banao (100K+). You can also score your own channel free and see how we think, instead of taking our word for it.

Run our free channel scorecard, or ask us to review your channel. If you are still planning the content the studio will produce, our paid consulting time services pick up where the room leaves off, and setting up for live shows pairs naturally with this YouTube live streaming setup guide.

Common questions

Gear for a two-camera room starts at about 8.79 lakh. Three cameras is about 15.52 lakh. Three plus a spare is about 27.36 lakh. Add about 10 percent to set it up, and about 5 percent to train your team. GST, freight, wiring and civil work are extra.
Both. In India we fit it ourselves. We travel from Bengaluru to your office. We place the cameras and lights. We tune the sound. We hand over a room that is ready to film. For the US, UK and Australia we help by video call. We check the room, send a gear list you can buy locally, send wiring and sound diagrams, and join calls while you set it up, so you get the same plan and only the pair of hands changes.
For a simple talking-head video you need four things. One good camera. Two lights. A clean backdrop. And a mic that ignores room noise. For podcasts, audio leads: treated walls, isolated mics per guest and a recorder or interface. We give you real model names at three budgets. Not a vague wish list. You buy once instead of twice.
Yes. Rooms echo because the walls are hard and flat and the floor is bare. Panels in the right spots, a rug, and good mic placement fix most of it. You do not need to rebuild the room. We map where treatment goes so you are not buying panels you do not need.
Every install includes hands-on training and written documentation so anyone on your team can set white balance, frame a shot, check levels and start recording without calling us. The goal is a room your people operate confidently, not one that depends on a specialist being in the building.
Yes. Our gear lists are public, so you can buy everything yourself. OneProGear, our own gear store, sells most of it, plus smaller ready kits for podcasts, YouTube, live streaming and online classes, with a GST invoice and India warranty. If you later want the room fitted and your team trained, we can do that part.
Yes. We place mics so every seat is heard, add speakers and a camera, treat the echo where needed, and make joining a call a one-step job on Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams. A conference room is priced after we see it.
Yes. Most office rooms have air-conditioning hum, glass walls and echo. We choose mics and treatment for that, fix the lights and cameras in place, and train your team. Our three plans, from about ₹8.79 lakh in equipment, fit this kind of room.
It is paid consulting time at $250 an hour for teams in the US, UK and Australia. You get the room layout, light and sound plans, a gear list to buy locally and calls while you set it up. We do not install outside India.
