Studio C is one of the three studios on the top floor at Metropolis. Built around a 72 channel Neve VR console, it is fitted with PMC main monitoring.
The control room (55m2), which looks out into the atrium and enjoys natural daylight is particularly suited to mix sessions involving a lot of additional equipment with its large worktop area (6m2) behind the mix position.
At the back of the room is an overdub booth (10m2), ideal for percussion, vocals or guitars.
The control room has been designed with a machine bay that will accommodate up to three multitrack machines and is positioned to allow for full visibility of all DAW systems and/or multitrack metering from the console.
