Training & support
The build isn't finished when the room is
Every Meros project is turnkey — walk in and hit a switch. Every studio Meros builds in Sydney comes with hands-on training and ongoing support, not a manual you'll never open.

What handover actually includes
None of this is a line item you can decline, and none of it is priced separately. A room nobody can confidently operate isn't finished, whatever the invoice says.
01 — Walk-in-and-hit-a-switch training
We train your people in the room, on the day, using the actual workflow they'll use — power up, presets, record, shut down. Not a tour of the equipment; a rehearsal of the job. Everyone who'll operate the space should be in that session.
02 — Basic troubleshooting
Covered as part of the same training. The handful of things that realistically go wrong — a preset changed, something not powering up, audio routed to the wrong input — get demonstrated deliberately so the fix is familiar before it's ever needed.
03 — Quick-start guide and documentation
Written for the room you have, not the products we installed. Layout, presets, cable runs, what plugs into what, and the recovery steps for common faults. Short enough that someone will actually read it during a session.
04 — Ongoing phone and email support
We stay reachable after handover. Most questions are answered the same day, and there's no ticket system between you and the people who built the room.
05 — A free check-in call
A few weeks after handover, we call to see how the room is being used, answer the questions that only come up once you're shooting, and adjust anything that isn't working the way you expected.
When something fails, you don't chase it
If equipment Meros supplied develops a fault, you call us — not the manufacturer. Meros deals with the distributor or manufacturer on your behalf and manages the warranty claim through to repair or replacement, so you're never left navigating a support line yourself.
When basic troubleshooting isn't enough
Most problems get solved on a phone call. Something isn't powering up, a preset has been changed, a cable has been moved — those are five-minute conversations, and they're covered.
Some things can't be. A fixture has failed, the rig needs rebalancing after a change of use, or a new staff member needs proper hands-on training rather than a walkthrough over the phone. For anything in that territory, we come back on site, and that visit is charged per visit as a service call.
We'd rather be straight about where the line sits than imply unlimited on-site support and then quietly invoice for it. If a call turns into a visit, you'll know before we get in the car.
Training that only happens once isn't training. It's a demo.
How much does a podcast or broadcast studio cost in Sydney?
A treated podcast room in an existing space usually sits in the $8,000–$30,000 light-touch range, a dedicated multi-camera podcast studio in the $30,000–$120,000 range, and a fully isolated broadcast or podcast facility from $120,000. The room's existing constraints decide most of the cost.
Cyclorama care
Every Meros cyclorama comes with touch-up paint and a simple maintenance guide at handover, so minor scuffs can be fixed in-house. For heavier wear, Meros offers a repaint service as a call-out.
Upgrades and expansion
Studios change as the work changes — a second camera, a new set, a podcast desk added to a photo studio. Meros plans upgrades and expansions around what's already installed, so new gear fits the room and the workflow rather than being bolted on.
Training without a build
Meros training is also available on its own, whether or not we built your room. That includes refresher and new-staff training for existing studios, practical studio training for corporate teams, and classroom activities and incursions for schools. Pricing is tailored to the group and the format.

Training and support FAQs
What support does Meros provide after a studio is handed over?
Every Meros build includes hands-on training for the people who'll run the room and a quick-start guide. Phone and email support is included, on-site visits are charged per visit, and if equipment fails, Meros deals with the distributor or manufacturer on your behalf.
Who handles warranty claims on studio equipment?
Meros does. If equipment Meros supplied develops a fault, Meros contacts the distributor or manufacturer and manages the claim for you.
Can a studio be installed or serviced after hours?
Yes. Meros offers after-hours and weekend installation and service visits in Sydney, which suits offices and schools that can't close during the day.
Can we get training for a studio Meros didn't build?
Yes. Meros runs standalone studio training in Sydney for existing rooms, built around the equipment you already have.
