COMPARTMENTAL FLOOR PLAN FOR ISOLATION & rfz
The Sonship Studio is the “David among the Goliaths” of professional recording studios. We are small, but mighty! The Sonship Studio was designed to maximize isolation within it’s room size limitations. To make for effective and efficient use of the studio’s compact, yet intimate room dimensions, a compartmental model was employed. The Sonship Studio has 4 separate and distinct compartments: 1) Solo Booth, 2) Drum Booth, 3) Live Commons and 4) Control Booth. Each booth has been built incorporating sound absorption acoustic material within it’s wall panels to increase absorption of sound waves thus attaining better isolation & creating reflection-free zones (RFZ) within the studio. Our reflection-free zones help us record the artist with virtually no interference from echos and reverberation creating a cleaner, more natural artist recording.
RECORDING, TRAINING & JAM SESSIONS
Lastly, if you just need a nice, unobtrusive location to jam rather than in your house, basement or garage, the Sonship Studio is a great place to get in enjoyable jam sessions.
