When considering the purchase of a One Button Studio kit, the first question to ask is; “Where will I put it?”. Here’s a checklist of room requirements to make sure you’re ready for a One Button Studio installation:
Is my room big enough? A 10′ x 14′ room, with an 9′-10′ ceiling, is ideal for the One Button Studio Pro. If you have a ceiling height below 9′ or above 10′, please consult with us before ordering to assure a smooth installation. A bare minimum size room would be 9′ x 12′. 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 14′ area is ideal. The One Button Studio Go can fit into a smaller space since its footprint is roughly 8′ x 8′.
Do I have a drop-ceiling? Our One Button Studio Pro kits come standard with hardware for hanging the lights, microphone, and power tracks from a drop-ceiling t-bar grid. The One Button Studio Go is self-contained and does not require mounting anything on the ceiling or walls. If you have something other than a drop-ceiling, or you have ceiling tiles that hang below the t-bar, please consult with us before ordering to assure a smooth installation.
Do I have power? The beauty of these One Button Studios is that everything runs off of two power outlets. Plug the cabinet into the wall, and the desk into the wall and that’s it. No need to bring in the electrician to put power in the ceiling. Ideally, the position of the power outlet and data ports will be on the wall directly behind the AV rack, as seen in the diagram below.
Do I need a network connection? The One Button Studio Pro (and Go) are designed to be network connected for uploading recorded videos to your preferred CMS/LMS. Also, having a network connection is necessary for any remote log-in support.
Confer with your IT department when preparing for a One Button Studio Pro purchase, so they can verify that two active network ports are available in the room, prior to the scheduled installation. The One Button Studio Go requires only one active network port.
Does my room have windows? The struggle with exterior windows is that the lighting conditions can vary dramatically from minute-to-minute. That’s bad news for video recording. Any exterior windows should be covered with blinds, drapes, or blackout window film.
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 the room next to a bathroom? Can you hear toilets flushing? Not what you want in your recordings! HVAC is another consideration. Do you have a loud air vent in the room? Can you shut it off? The included acoustical panels are designed to reduce the reflection of sound waves inside the room, but they do not act as sound-proofing.
Software Licensing: Studiomatic One Button Studios ship with an included 3-year software license. When the license period is up, the software will continue to function but will display a watermark on the video output. As of 2025, the price for a new 3-year software license is $1,600, and can be purchased directly from Studiomatic.
