Setup Diagrams

Even though your specific home studio setup will depend on the particular pieces of equipment you are trying to connect together, most setups will fall into one of the general categories listed below.

Along with the summary of each setup will be a ballpark estimate on what you might expect to pay retail for all the necessary parts.

Keep in mind that it's possible to find used gear at a significant discount if you keep your eyes open.

If you are willing to search a little and accept some additional risk in the condition of the gear then you can find many great deals from folks who have stuff that was seldom (if ever) used.

Later down the road you may choose to switch out one piece of gear for another or alter the setup to fit your unique needs, but these are a good place to start.
