How to Install Hamilton Buhl Media Production Studio: Deluxe Interview Kit #2

• Unpack the kit and inspect all components to ensure nothing is missing or damaged in transit. Confirm that you have two microphones, two boom arms, two stands, two wind screens, two pop filters, cables, and the carrying case.
• Assemble the microphone boom arms to the desk stands and attach the microphones securely, using shock mounts if included. Position the mics so that each speaker has a comfortable distance (about 6–12 inches) from the microphone grille for clear pickup.
• Attach wind screens and pop filters to reduce breath noise and plosives during dialogue. Ensure filters are centered in front of the microphone capsules for optimal effectiveness.
• Connect each microphone to the USB audio interface or to the classroom recording device as directed by your setup. If using a computer, plug the interface into a USB port and allow any drivers to install automatically or follow the provided setup instructions.
• Power on the recording system, test each channel, and adjust gain levels to achieve clear, distortion-free sound. Have students perform a short test interview to calibrate levels and confirm that monitoring headphones (if included) provide accurate feedback without latency.
• Place the participants for the interview or discussion, consider room acoustics, and perform a quick soundcheck before recording. Save project files with clear naming conventions so students can easily locate and review their work.
