FLCC has a long-standing and well-respected audio recording program. Their existing studios were in need of an upgrade to correct mechanical noise and other issues. The college decided instead to pursue new studios to be located in an existing cafeteria space. The challenges acoustically were considerable due to the potential for overhead noise from labs. Design was complicated by low structural heights and column locations. The Facility was designed as state of the art with automated API and SSL consoles, data linked in ear monitor systems, and flexible signal routing systems. Key Elements Acoustic Isolation from the overlying classrooms and labs Acoustic Isolation of multiple live and recording spaces. Mechanical Noise Control Cabling and Communication systems
