Control Rooms
Three studios.
One integrated workflow.
Control Room A
Spacious, welcoming and built around the crown jewel of large-format mixing consoles: the Neve 88RS. Control Room A brings together the finest analogue and digital tools, from BURL 32 I/O and Merging Horus conversion to latest-generation plug-ins and a carefully selected collection of analogue outboard, ranging from modern processors to prized vintage classics.
Main monitoring is provided by ATC SCM45A and B&W 802D, complemented by a calibrated Dolby Atmos 7.4.1 system for immersive music and film mixing.
Studio Box 1
An independent recording and mixing studio centred around an Avid S3 control surface, selected analogue outboard and Merging Horus conversion with up to 48 inputs. Direct integration with the live rooms makes Box 1 ideal for recording, overdubs, editing, mixing and simultaneous sessions.
Studio Box 2
Equipped with four Avid S1 control surfaces and a 150-inch HDR projection system, Box 2 combines an efficient music workflow with the visual scale required for film work. It is equally suited to music production, picture-based sessions and film mixing.
Main Live Room · 110 m²
A major recording space designed for orchestral sessions, ensembles and productions that need scale, definition and a naturally musical acoustic.
A room made for orchestras.
Comfortably accommodating an orchestra of around 40 musicians, the Main Live Room combines generous space with exceptional richness and natural body. Its controlled early reflections preserve clarity and definition while giving strings, brass, woodwinds and percussion a warm, full-bodied and cohesive sound.
Multipurpose Room · approx. 80 m²
A second large room that can operate simultaneously with the Main Live Room, allowing fully separated orchestral sections, isolation between instrumental families and complex recording setups.
KickBack V3.
The technology behind the sound.
The distinctive acoustic character of the Main Live Room is created by KickBack V3, the resonator system developed by Digital Records over years of research and listening. Its sculpted bamboo panels manage acoustic energy without deadening the room, contributing to the unique richness, warmth and smoothness of its sound.
