  Creating a Studio from Scratch

  Posted by Kevin Williams on February 12, 2007 at 8:24 pm

  I am in the process of creating a budget for a studio for our Government Access channel. The only items I have listed are 3 wireless mics, sets, headsets and teleprompters. I currently have 2 Sony PD170s and plan to link them to the existing control room. The big cost unknown at this time is appropriate lighting.

  It is a situation where we will ask for an amount as opposed to being told what we can spend.

  Any advice on constructing a studio from scratch?

  Two bits of advice:
  Budget $50,000.00 to $75,000.00….then hire a reputable company to properly do the project.

  I am glad to see you say, “…hire a reputable company to properly do the project.” I made a similar statement to my Director. I mentioned I did not want to piece-meal this project and for such a long term project, we need to have it done right.
  Thanks for the reply.

  I guess I should have mentioned this will be for a small studio. Also, the price range you mentioned….what does that actually include?
