Compound Rooms

The Control Room is large (16'w x 10'h x 23'd) and tunable. Built to spec from the ground up, it lies within the sonic "puddle" of flat frequency response according to the acoustic theory of Bolt, Sepmeyer, and Loude. It has no standing waves or bass buildup. The Control Room has also been tuned using modular gills designed by Robert Harvey. Producers and Engineers love working in this room!

We specialize in tracking with a 20' x 45' x 15', cathedral -ceiling wood room. It consists of three virtual rooms: a very live section, a moderately "live" section, and an absorptive "dead" section. Further room shaping can be achieved with Chris Pelonis designed "The Edge" sound baffles.

A 6' x 8' Isolation Booth sits adjacent to the Control Room as well as tie lines to "the Compound West" 12'x20' editing suite.
