Control Room at Monarch Studios
About this space
THE ROOM
The large comfortable control room is built around a 32-channel API 1608 analog console that surrounds a 16-channel Avid S3 digital mixer. The desk also houses our patch bay and an assortment of classic preamps for additional sonic options. A center gear rack is filled with the high-end boutique and classic outboard gear you would expect from a world-class studio.
MONITORS
Monitoring is provided by Barefoot MM27 mid-field speakers. They feature an innovative integrated subwoofer design with dual opposing subwoofers keeping the monitor fixed in space to provide a rock solid image. Engineers find these speakers easy to learn and use. As a second reference we have industry standard NS10 monitors powered by a Studer A68 amplifier.
QUIET
The recording computer, console power supplies, and 2″ Studer tape machine are all isolated in our machine room to keep all of the machine and fan noise outside and the control room silent.
ACOUSTICS
Acoustically, the entire recording studio is built using room-within-a-room construction creating excellent isolation between the different spaces. The inside of the control room is treated with extensive bass trapping, absorption, diffusion, and angled walls to create an incredibly accurate listening environment.
AIR
A dedicated air system feeds the control room, supplying constant fresh air and keeping it at any temperature you like. In response to COVID-19 we have upgraded the filters in our HVAC system to MERV13 hospital-grade filters, and added portable IQAir HyperHEPA filters to our control room and tracking rooms.
COMFORT
There is a desk and large couch at the back of the room making the control room an incredibly comfortable place to work, even for larger groups. The studio is lit with Philips Hue lighting, so the tone and colour of all lighting can be customized to create the perfect mood for your session.
