STUDIO
A comfortable and critical listening environment with an accurate monitoring system, optimized room acoustics, and exceptional analog & digital mastering gear. A separate machine room keeps noisy computers out of the mastering room. Acoustical treatment was done in collaboration with acoustician Francis Manzella (FM Design). There is also a cozy kitchen/lounge with all the right coffee machines. Feel free to bring laptops - wifi is available.
