Do we have to brag? Seriously? Well…. ok.
Technology:
Purpose built studio, entirely double-walled, with air gap plus acoustic insulation between; average wall at any point is 12″ thick. Recording booth is room-within-a-room, acoustically isolated, floated, and suspended. Bass traps throughout, including the main control room/listening room. Walls and ceiling enhanced with custom panels of Owens Corning 703 acoustic insulation for maximum high frequency absorption.
