Installation in progress

It shouldn’t be legal to have this many patchbays… but we’re doing it anyway! Stay tuned - custom furniture and systems being put together for a gorgeous new studio as we speak.

Custom stage boxes with built in and ground lift switches. These will sit on the floor in our client’s “synth zone” and will allow for convenient connectivity to the patchbay and MIDI interface. Thanks for the custom enclosures.

Progress being made on an install in Brooklyn.

Now this is a thing of beauty. ’s front racks are complete! The ’s are going in soon, followed by the Duality, and then the outboard racks. Stunning wiring job by and Lukas. 😍💪

Who’s an adorable little rack? You are! YOU ARE!!!

We had the distinct pleasure of making this little guy for the fine folks at recently and loved the way it turned out.

We wrapped up the revamp of ’s Studio D a few months ago and couldn’t be prouder. Custom treatments, a hickory floor, Atmos capabilities, and our first sit/stand studio desk. We loved working with Allison and the team over there. Be sure to hit them up for all your post production needs. They’re the best!

02/17/2021

What to say about this one? Well, this has got to be our most challenging, satisfying, and beautiful fabric install to date. An absolute honor and pleasure to work with on realizing their new studio. A huge team effort with special shoutouts to and who slayed this. The tech team is pushing through a massive system install right now. More posts to come as we wrap up this beauty. 🥰

Our remote Atmos room in the woods is coming together. This is a great space attached to a house in Northwestern Connecticut. It’s huge!

02/17/2021

A gaggle of gobos! 9 of them to be exact. And they look just like the rendering. Love it when that happens! 😍

02/17/2021

Pay no attention to the man behind the acoustic curtain.

Company male model and resident Viking, is used for scale to illustrate the sheer size of this perf screen frame and dolly we built for a new Atmos room we’re putting together in the woods of Northwest Connecticut.

Upgrading our first baby. This was our very first studio, built in 2011. It’s going through some system upgrades right now. New equipment!!! 💪

02/17/2021

Load out! What the hell did we do before we had this van?! 🤔🚐

02/17/2021

Shop update! And we got our core tools and dust collection up and running, we’re focusing on some smaller custom build items for the shop. First up is this expensive 4‘ x 10‘ bohemoth of assembly table built by ! Shop dog Lola approved!

I’m excited to share a recently completed project that I began developing in 2018 for (and with) our good friend Alex Sterling of Precision Sound Studios.

These devices are extremely overqualified studio loudspeaker switcher and level controllers (EOSLSLC??). One of these units will be installed in each of three performance spaces in the studio and will feed wall mounted speakers in each space.

The engineer can choose to monitor one of two foldback signals from the console, a local professional level input, consumer level input; or in the case of one room, TV audio. This easily facilitates functions like studio wide communications during a session, cue monitoring, or a feed from a mixer during a live event.

The input stage consists of transformer like THAT InGenius(TM) 1206 balanced line receivers with all the fixings. This chip features a super high input impedance and excellent common mode rejection performance for even some of the most horrendous impedance imbalances present in output signals from source devices. The consumer level inputs feature OPA 134 opamps and ground switching controls.

All switching is handled by Takamisawa relays, which are controlled by an ATMEGA 328P microcontroller with Arduino bootloader + my code installed.

Level control is handled with THAT 2180 VCA’s and a voltage control circuit that divides the control voltage to approximately 1/20 th of that present at the potentiometer before it hits the chip. This prevents small voltage fluctuations or irregularities from volume potentiometer adjustments from being significant and causing distortions.

The output stage consists of transformer like THAT 1646 OutSmarts(TM) balanced line drivers. Output mutes are relay controlled shunts of pins 2 and 3.

I designed the schematics and PCBS using KICad. The chassis were provided by our good friends at Redco. None of this would have been possible without the expert circuit assembly and wiring work provided by two of our staff technicians: Olivia Mancuso and Brian Newell.

Thanks again to Alex for asking us to create these! They were designed in such a way that you hopefully never need to take advantage of the lifetime warranty😂 -Matt Schaefer

Two new updates on the shop front. First, our K 940 S sliding table saw is fully assembled and powered on! We’re looking forward to having the fine Felder folks over to the shop to commission it aver the holidays. And second, we just received a massive delivery of Oneida duct work for our dust collection system. Making some serious end of year progress over here! 💪

Super excited about how these custom walnut gobos with dark grey fabric built in our new shop by and the team ( , , and ) came out. They’re now off to their forever home with their new dad, and our friend, . Goodbye, boys, don’t forget to write!

12/04/2020

So much going on in the new shop as assembles our new Oneida dust collection system and keeps working on framing up the new walls. Lotsa fun new stuff coming in from and . 🪚❤️

So long to our first office at 1000 Dean Street in Crown Heights. We made roughly 600 square feet go pretty far over the years. Onward and upward with our new 7,500 square foot facility in East Williamsburg. Thanks for all the memories and good times. 👋

BEHOLD! The first of many new shop tools was delivered today. A A 951 L jointer. Welcome to the family, handsome! 🤤

10/13/2020

We LOVE details! And this project is taking the lead! even it's name says it "Precision" Sound Studios. They came to us seeking to install track and fabric for the soft wall acoustic treatments throughout their renovated Upper West Side Manhattan facility

Been a great week for a few of us out on this beautiful piece of property in southern Oregon. We’re working on a new private barn studio for a client. This is the first of several trips out west. Stay tuned for more big things from out here!
