Designed by world renowned acoustic engineer Martin Pilchner, our A room is a well-balanced mixing environment for 5.1 surround and stereo. It is the only control room in Canada with soffit-mounted Genelec surround main monitors. (Genelec 1034Bs with 7073A subwoofer). Nearfields are Genelec S30C, Yamaha NS-10M and Auratone.
A wide bay window and glass corridor allows you to see the entire live room while providing excellent acoustic isolation from outside, giving us one of the quietest control rooms around.
The heart of the room is our Solid State Logic 6056 E/G console with G+ automation and Total Recall. Recording is to Pro Tools or Studer 827 analog 24-track. The Pro Tools HD3 system has 24 inputs and 48 outputs, with available ProControl.
A host of world class outboard gear including equipment by Manley, Neve, Focusrite, API and Urei augment the room in conjuction with classic Lexicon 480L and EMT plate reverb.
The open concept control room is large, spacious and comfortable, complete with wireless internet for our clients. DLP projection onto a large 84" perforated screen displays picture in the control room.
