Flex Studio
This studio space is less specialized but more flexible than our other two studios. It has more floor space than the Sound Studio for situations when multiple microphone setups are needed, such as band or ensemble recordings. It includes a networked audio interface that can be used with the Mac Mini in the equipment rack, or that can send audio over Ethernet for live mixing in our Sound Studio. Though our Video/Photo Studio is generally a better setting for capturing images, the Flex Studio does include a backdrop kit with white, green, and blue paper rolls and an overhead lighting grid. Any of our video or photographic equipment can be requested for use within it.
The sound equipment available in this room includes:
- AKG C214 Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphones
- Shure KSM141 Stereo Pair Small-Diaphragm Condenser Microphones
- Shure SM57 and SM58 Dynamic Mics
- Focusrite RedNet MP8R 8-Channel Mic Pre Audio Interface for Dante
