The Map Room is newly renovated!

It took over two months, but now The Map Room is new and improved. We built a lounge in the front of the studio for extra sound isolation and for hanging out when you're not busy in the studio. It's equipped with a sink and cabinets, mini-fridge, toaster oven, and tea and coffee to make you comfy. We also put studio tie lines into the lounge, so that it can be used as another iso room as well. The studio now has quiet and effective heating, cooling and ventilation using some of the most energy-efficient technology available. The live room is more live with a longer reverb time, and very quiet with improved sound isolation. We built new room treatment for our existing iso room, absorbing low frequencies as well as high.

Here's an updated gear list:
We have a Soundcraft Ghost 32 channel console with mute automation which we use with both analog and digital recording gear. We have 2 RME Fireface 800 units fronting our Pro Tools and Nuendo systems. We also have an MCI JH-16 1" 8-track and an Otari MTR-10 1/4" 2-track for those of you who love analog. A lot of the equipment below has been made by the engineers who work in the studio.
