MORE INFO (for techies like me who care about this stuff)
The entire studio is wired with Mogami low-oxygen multi-core 8-channel cable, all balanced, and fitted with Neutrik connectors. The live room tie lines are all custom ProCo snake boxes.
Patch cables, XLR mic cables and intrument cables are all ProCo.
Studio electrial is triple grounded with over 30ft of earth-ground rods in different locations. The electrical service was all replaced in 2007. This all results in very quiet power throughout the system.
The SSL re-capping was completed in 2013. The tech on the console was completed by Bob Shuster.
In 2014 we built a "machine shed", detached from the studio building, which houses the SSL power supplies and computer, with some addtional storage. This greatly improved the space requirements and eliminated the noise from the studio building itself. A 6" flexible conduit connects the two buildings.
FLOOR PLAN
The studio space was built inside a two car detatched garage. The building was cinder-block with an attic for HVAC and storage.
We used the "room within a room" design with completely seperate walls and new ceilings. The space had a modest 9' height which after trapping gave us a finished 8'5" height.
The splayed walls and odd-dimensions kept the room nodes small and close and the built-in trapping gave the room a controlled low-end response.
We built it using standard construction materials which kept the costs down. The walls were framed in 2x4 framing and the sheetrock was installed over rock-wool insulation on resilient channel and the dual layers where sandwiched with acoustic glue (green glue) to raise STC results..
The front soffit wall, which encloses the Urei 809s, include a front slat wall diffusor/trap which is good down to about 300Hz, was built over low-end traps that get the front-end response down to about 80Hz.
The right and left side slat walls give us some simmetry diffusion and trap down to about 500Hz The offset left and right traps are good to about 1kHz
Cable runs are underground in 6" pvc we buried under the slab.
