GREEN CHAPEL RECORDING STUDIOS WITH A CUSTOM BUILT
CALREC S2 CONSOLE. THE LARGEST IN THE WORLD
This console was built from 3 Calrec S2 Consoles with a custom Atomic
InstrumentsPowerSupply to handle the job with loads of headroom.<\/h4>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n

SOMETIMES YOU ARE GIVE SQUARE OR RECTANGULAR ROOMS.
AS THIS IS NOT OPTIMUM IT IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD AS\u00a0
THERE ARE THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO TO MODIFY THE SHAPE OF
<\/strong>A <\/strong>ROOM PRIOR TO TREATING THE WALLS. AS SEEN BELOW WE WERE
<\/strong>GIVEN 2 ADJACENT ROOMS WITH PARALLEL WALLS AND REFRAMED
THE DIVIDING WALLS AND ADDED A THIRD ROOM.
<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

THIS WAS ANOTHER ROOM THAT WAS ALREADY FRAMED AND WE WERE CHOSEN TO MAKE IT UNOQUE.
SO WE DESIGNED CUSTOM FRAMES FOR ABSORBERS AND GAVE THEM MORE DIMENSION FROM THE USUAL
SQUARE BOXED OFF THE SHELF TYPE PANEL. THIS NOT ONLY GIVE IT MORE DIMENSION BUT ALSO SERVES
TO BREAK UP THE PARALLEL SURFACES.THIS WAS A BLAST TO CONSTRUCT.\u00a0
\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

What we ended up doing here was treating the walls with slats\u00a0 utilizing absorption behind the slats.
These slats were not afixed so firmly that they wouldn\u2019t give and move and be able to accept the
excitement delivered from pesky mid-low frequencies.<\/h4>\r\n

We then had to deal with the corners we could we built bass traps into a decorative way as to not distract but
enhance the rooms look. When this room was done it was filled with the multitude of different angles, we laid an
oriental rug on the floor and the room became a very musical and pleasing design both sonically and estheically..
the end result was a beautiful sounding room.<\/h4>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

ITS HARD TO SEE IN THIS PICTURE BUT THE UPPER WALL IS CURVED AND <\/strong>
SHAPED TO STRESS DIFFUSION TO THE ROOMS SONIC BEHAVIOR.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

Challenges do arise from time to time but that is nothing that has ever stopped us.

ONE OF OUR CONTROL ROOMS PRIOR TO GEAR BEING LOADED IN.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

THERE IS NOTHING LIKE THE SOUND OF A ROOM WITHOUT A SINGLE PARALLEL SURFACE.<\/h4>\r\n

VOCAL BOOTHS CAN OFTEN BE A REAL CHALLENGE.
You want them to sound natural and not like you are singing into a mattress.
You also want them to have a vibe that can easily be controlled by lighting.<\/h4>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

THIS VOCAL BOOTH WAS REALLY FUN TO BUILD AND THE SOUND OF THIS ROOM IS STELLAR. SHOWN
IN PROGRESS AND UPON COMPLETION YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT GOES INTO BUILDING A GREAT ROOM<\/h4>\r\n

\"\"LIGHT DIFFUSIO IS ALSO SOMETHING THAT CAN BE INTEGRATED TO ACHIVE EXTRA VIBE.

A CONTROL ROOM DESIGN PRIOR TO INSTALLING A PARQUET FLOOR<\/h4>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

When designing a control room you cant have standing waves due to parallel walls.<\/h4>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

THIS WAS A ROOM WAS AN EXPERIMENT WE WANTED TO BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT. BUT INEVITABLY IS WAS TOO
DAMPENED, PROVING THAT JUST PUTTING UP PANELS ON\u00a0 THE WALL IS NEVER THE ANSWER..<\/h4>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

ANOTHER LARGE ISO ROOM DESIGN. THIS ROOM HAS A FLAIRED OUT HORN OF SORTS AND IS A JOY TO RECORD IN.<\/h4>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

Creating custom decorative acoustical designs is what we do. Here using resurfaced 95 year old knotty pine.\u00a0<\/h4>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

THE INTEGRATED VIDEO HERE IS A MUST FOR A MULTI ISO BOOTH FACILITY.<\/strong>\"\"<\/p>\r\n

Yes we do custom wiring for pro audio and video studios.\u00a0<\/h4>\r\n


\"\"<\/p>\r\n

Here we are utilizing staggered stud walls to reduce transmission.

FRAMING A 2 STORY ADDITION ATOP AN EXISTING STRUCTURE.\u00a0\u00a0
