T o give you an idea of just how spacious it is, Jimmy explained that the room’s dimensions measure 40 feet in length by 30 feet in width by 16 feet in height. That’s 1,200 square feet of clear floor area which can comfortably accommodate large ensembles, choirs, big bands, electric and acoustic groups of any size right down to solo performers, either vocally or instrumentally. Every surface of the non-parallel walls (intentionally designed to avoid unwanted reflected sounds) and high ceiling is acoustically treated to ensure a perfectly balanced and “neutral” acoustic quality. In addition, the studio is equipped with large moveable sound-absorbing panels, which can be arranged in various configurations, to create different “virtual” spaces within the room as required.
