A NATURALLY MASSIVE AND PRECISE SOUND
The studio, housed in an old farmhouse near Angers, boasts 6-meter high ceilings and slate walls, offering acoustic absorption properties to reduce unwanted echoes and reverberations. This configuration results in clearer, more precise sound quality. In addition, deep joints create additional obstacles for sound waves, increasing diffraction, helping to break up direct waves and reduce standing waves, reducing acoustic interference. These features are present in every room of the studio, including the live room, vocal room and control room.
