Recordings and Media
Superior acoustics and multimedia recording facility
We strive to constantly upgrade our facility to stay connected with the current trends in media and to extend our productivity. Our beautiful 1,300 sq. ft. main hall with 29 ft. ceilings is exceptionally quiet and serves as our audio and video production facility. We also have a separate and acoustically isolated control room in the basement as well as a front of house booth in the balcony that can be closed and isolated.
