There are two main approaches for equipping studio with specialized furniture. One can select ready standard variant and configure it out of module components in catalogue. In this case, user will have to make sure that the furniture, available in catalogue, may not only contain all existing equipment, but also satisfy a range of technical requirements. The requirements are the following:

• technical and exploitation characteristics of equipment. Unfortunately, many breakages of expensive devices are caused by violation of their temperature mode or irregular loading arrangement of heavy components, built in the tower. In order to avoid this it is necessary to define the right way of equipment arrangement (on the table, in the rack, on the shelf, etc.) and also the method of cooling. Besides, there are control devices that are to be cut in the countertop, owing to their structural peculiarities and functionality. Such installment requires additional preparing of setup area;
• dimensions and peculiarities of the area with accounting future equipment assembling works. It is worth mentioning that technological furniture must be arranged effectively, with usage of all space area of operating room (that often is limited). During the arrangement one must consider, for example, position of cable channels, windows, doors, and also materials and elements of inner covering, etc.;
• design, ergonomics, and functionality of construction. The important thing is level of workplace's ergonomics, convenience and accessibility of equipment, taking into account man's psychophysiological peculiarities. And of course, one must remember that labor productivity and even company's image depend on good and fine design.

In case of foreign furniture ordering, it is necessary to consider two- or three-month delivery period and price level. Taking into account all stated above, one can imagine all the difficulties he may experience when selecting this or that type variant for technically difficult studios, for instance, on-air rooms. That's why custom furniture ordering is often more optimal. In this case, both the customer needs and the furniture's satisfying technical requirements are provided. All production cycle may be divided into the following stages:
