Open the Studio Board and place it in the center of the table.

If it's the first game of HiFi for at least one of the players, the 4 Bonus Cards are placed next to the Harmony icons on the right

side of the board, in the following order, from top to bottom: Leroy Johnson, Mei Ling Wong, Heather Jones, and Jack Green.

If everyone has already played HiFi at least once, you can randomly determine the order in which the Bonus Cards are placed.

Shuffle each colored deck of Audio Cards separately and place them on the right side of the Studio Board, with the bonus action side facing down. (Note: the bonus actions on the Audio Cards are only used in Advanced Mode.)

Place the Scoring Board with the Basic Production Phase side face up next to the Studio Board.
