We also checked for any possible magnetic/electrical interference (and its all good!)

And some of our extremly complex and expensive test equipment

We have now mapped everything out, so we can start cutting the floor tiles. This is so the wall structures dont start from the same height.

Here is the 80cm wall gap designed to give a 75-80db reduction!

In order to create me must Destroy!!

We needed to get rid of the two pillars and cut the floor tiles. Difficult job but quite rewarding.

We also put in the pipe channels to carry the audio/video cabling from machine -> Controll -> live room. You can also see the main power lines going through too. We descided to split the AC phases and use one for the controll one for the live and one for lights+HVAC.

Thanks,

The build is in Athens Greece,

We are a team of Engineers/Sound designers who met and worked in London. After a couple of years we decided to start up a project in Greece.


As for gear I will be posting a full setup soon but the basic layout is a mixture of boutique pres/outboard, control surface all being recorded and edited on Nuendo.

We will also have a nice selection of tube amps and two drum kits

(pics to follow) heh

This is part of the Three-phase electricity supply to the studio being wired up for the HVAC.
