the ssl room
This is our largest studio and features a spacious recording/control room a separate isolation booth with great lines of sight for perfect vocal recording and a spacious live room that provides ideal conditions for comfort and creativity. When not in use, the live room also serves as a lounge providing guests with an additional layer of privacy. The SSL Room is the ultimate setting for larger writing and production sessions with plenty of space for additional guests. This highly accurate studio has been the choice of industry professionals for over a decade and the site for multiple Grammy-winning mixes, recently renovated in 20201 by world-renowned Acoustian Ross Alexander.
