Space Considerations
When considering the purchase of a One Button Studio Pro, the first question to ask is; “Where will I put it?”. Here’s a checklist to make sure your room is ready for a One Button Studio installation:
Is the room big enough? A 10’x 14′ space with a 9′ ceiling is ideal. 9′ x 12′, with an 8′ ceiling is the bare minimum size requirement for a One Button Studio Pro. Larger rooms can be used, where a corner, or one side of the room will be dedicated to the One Button Studio. In such a case, a 10′ x 12′ area is ideal.
Be prepared to send us pictures of the room, including walls, floor, and ceiling; as well as length, width, and height dimensions.
Do I have a drop-ceiling? The One Button Studio Pro comes standard with hardware for hanging the lights and microphone from a drop-ceiling grid. Other types of ceilings, or very high ceilings will require special consideration and pre-planning.
Power: The beauty of these One Button Studios is that everything runs off of a single power outlet. Plug the cabinet into the wall, and that’s it. No need to bring in the electrician to put power in the ceiling.
Do I need a network connection? The One Button Studio Pro uses QRcloud™ file delivery, and therefore requires two active network ports, ideally in close proximity to a power outlet. Let’s get IT involved early on so they know what is needed.
Does the room have windows? The struggle with exterior windows is that the lighting conditions can vary dramatically from minute-to-minute. For consistent video quality, we want full control over the light levels in the room. Any exterior windows should be covered. Blinds, drapes, or blackout window film will all do the trick.
Floor coverings: If the room has a bare floor, we highly recommend installing some berber style carpet prior to installation. This will improve the audio quality by helping to reduce sound reflections in the room.
Is my room quiet enough? You’ll want to pick a space that’s relatively quiet. You don’t want noise from adjoining rooms being picked up during video recordings. Is there a restroom next door? You don’t want flushing noises in your recordings! HVAC is another consideration. Is there a loud air handler in the ceiling? The included acoustic panels are designed to reduce the reflection of sound waves inside the room, but they do not act as sound-proofing.
