THE SPACE

 
 
 

The space is a 50' length x 18' width x 10.5' height stone walled room, with concrete/terrazo floors, a plaster ceiling, and lot's of wood soffits. It has full and flat frequency response with unprecedented brightness and detail - we challenge you to find a better sounding room in New York City!

The default layout is an open plan studio - one large room, with 2 movable isolation rooms, and several other separation rooms. There is no closed control room unless you request. We have found that this promotes better, easier, faster music making.

If you have a project that requires a conventional control room/studio configuration, it's a simple matter to move the control room into one of the isolation rooms.
