This is a sound studio I built with Andy Krumeich in an unused control booth in the Colwell Playhouse at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts during winter 2010.

Various acoustic treatments were required to minimize distracting room resonances, and to keep sound from entering or exiting the studio. These included:

• Custom made, flown Sonifiber sound absorbing clouds above the engineer’s chair

• Custom made wood and fiberglass insulation plugs in the windows

• Carpet

• Rear wall diffusion

• Fiberglass insulation in cable junction boxes and pass-throughs

• Sound absorbing, free-standing office partitiions

The studio quickly became a preferred workspace for sound design graduate students. Its focus is audio post production (editing, mixing, mastering), and sound design. It can also be used for recording and instruction.

It includes Windows-based computer and Event powered loudspeakers.
