The Design

The room design is centered around the main monitoring system consisting of a stereo pair of flush mounted ATC 300 speakers. The room boundaries are designed with controlled reflection geometry and also integrate a custom made racking system designed to accommodate the synthesizer collection with integrated cable management and power solution. In addition to the main monitors, the room also incorporates a 5.1 and 7.1 mid field surround system as well as a fully calibrated 11.3 Dolby Atmos system. The front and back ceiling of the control room include large low frequency absorption assemblies. The rear wall feature two large window systems, one to the isolation booth and one to the machine room which offer a clear view to each space from the mix position. The glazing system is angled vertically to redirect reflected energy into the rear ceiling trap as well as two rear floor traps finished with perforated stainless steel covers.

Another feature of the space is the large array of walnut ceiling fins which flow from the rear ceiling trap at an oblique angle acting as a diffusive element. The ATC 25 ceiling speakers also required a custom ceiling bracket system to accommodate the weight of the speakers as well as to conform to the room context.

All studio spaces are built on dedicated floating floors and integrate a very extensive cable troughing system which physically connects every space in the studio including all side wall racking systems. The cable management is easily accessed through numerous access points via removable lids trimmed in aluminum. The rooms are built on the perimeter of the floating floors and as such are completely decoupled from the structure of the residence. Dedicated mechanical systems condition the space as well as a dedicated technical power system.
