This a three room facility in Colchester Vermont, USA.
It is being designed by Fran Manzella of FMdesign

Checkout Egan 4 if you missed it.

This shot is is taken from the vestibule looking into Control Room A. The outboard rack is in the foreground. In the shot you can see the mixing board (a D&R Cinemix 5.1 console with moving fader automation and dynamics) and the Pro Tools HUI cart. The autolocator is for the Alesis M20 ADATs. Far to the right you can see the edge of the Sony/MCI JH-24 analog deck. You can also see the main soffit mounted speakers in the front wall and the right surround speaker mounted in the flanking wall.

This shot is of control room A looking over the console toward the back of the room. The rear wall is comprised of pre fabricated RPG Diffractal diffusors flanked by tuned helmholtz slat resonators. The RPGs diffuse the reflected sound to minimize direct reflections. The slat resonators control low frequency decay

 

The next photos show the live end and the dead end in the live room. The room is divided roughly in half with one side being birch panels and the other being fabric covered Owens Corning 703 fiberglass. We left the concrete slab as the finished floor. It was stained using a product made by the Kemiko company and was then waxed and polished. It was very cost effective and looks great. Area rugs can be placed to accentuate or minimize its acoustically reflective qualities.
