Studio B
A mixing and mastering control room designed to ensure faithful sound reproduction. Together with the SSL 4000G console and an extensive collection of outboard gear, it offers a no-compromise working environment.
The Control Room
Studio B is a 35-square-meter control room that combines comfort and ergonomics, making it the perfect environment for all post-production processes such as editing, mixing, and mastering. The acoustic design was executed by Donato Masci and his team at Studio Sound Service, a leader in acoustic consulting and design in Italy and abroad, with over 300 studios completed for international artists and companies such as Andrea Bocelli, Renato Zero, Disney, and Netflix. Thanks to their work, the listening experience in Studio B is extraordinarily faithful to reality, with an extremely linear frequency response across the audible spectrum and millimeter-perfect symmetry, ensuring an impeccable stereo image. Special attention was given to low-frequency management, one of the most complex challenges for any recording studio.

In fact, the Genelec monitors are mounted in a 25-ton concrete baffle, which blocks low frequencies and eliminates unwanted resonances, while at the back of the room, a wall over a meter thick, with 80 cm of polyester fiber, effectively absorbs them. In most studios, the room's acoustics distort the listening experience due to reflections, phase cancellations, and other interferences, leading engineers to make decisions based on inaccurate information, like a painter using glasses that distort shapes and perspectives. In Studio B, however, the listening environment acts as a true measuring tool, allowing engineers to perceive sound exactly as it is. This level of precision ensures that mixes and masters translate perfectly across any listening system, maintaining consistency and quality in every context.

SSL 4000
The studio boasts a 56-channel SSL 4000 G+ console, one of the best analog mixers ever created. Renowned for its sound quality, versatility, and features like automation and Total Recall, this console has made an indelible mark on music history. To give an idea of its immense impact on the music industry, SSL claims that more platinum records have been mixed on SSL consoles than on all other consoles combined. Recently, our SSL 4000 was upgraded with a high-quality switching power supply, which has reduced background noise and halved energy consumption. Additionally, the installation of the Tangerine Automation Interface allows us to manage automation directly through Pro Tools, making the console even more efficient and in line with modern technologies.
