The Acoustic Design & Architectural plans for the
studios were made by Studio 440 , acoustic architects from CA, USA
who have designed studios for Interscope/ Universal Music Group ,
Warner Brothers , Burbank , California and Saban Entertainment ,
just to name a few.The studios will not only house a full-blown
Recording Suite but also a Film Mix Stage where final mix-downs
will take place.
A local Architectural and Construction Company in Chennai has been
appointed to execute the project and to ensure that all
construction is done according to Studio 440's stringent plans and
design. Studio 440 is overseeing the construction through site
visits and correspondance together with DAXCO DIGITAL.
The Control Room is equipped with a 140 channel Euphonix System 5-M
Digital Mixing Console with 2 cores . Having worked in several top
studios in the UK , USA & Canada , Rahman had the opportunity
to work with and evaluate all the large format consoles currently
available in the market. He decided to go for the Euphonix System 5
as it gives him the speed, power and flexibility that he needs for
his work which ranges from Music Recording & Mixing to 5.1
Mixing . Another important factor for Rahman was that the System 5
supports 24-bit / 96KhZ operation which allows him to work in the
highest quality digital environment and to be ready for DVD Audio
.
Recording will be done on the Euphonix 48-track 96kHz/ 24-bit R-1
Digital Audio Multi-track Recorder . The decision to use the R-1
Recorder was a natural one for Rahman, as it features a simple
user-interface, superior sound quality , is highly efficient and
reliable - and at 24bit / 96K perfect for DVD Audio .
The Monitoring System is a Miller & Kreisel 5.1 surround THX
system. Some of the Outboard equipment includes Manley, Focusrite,
Lexicon -960L,TC-6000
The Mix stage will be home to Thomlinson Holmen's Terrasect
Speakers and the Main studio will be using exclusively designed
George Massenburg Speakers.
Through the combination of professional design by Studio 440 ,
consultation and supply of state-of-the-art equipment by DAXCO
DIGITAL , A.R. Rahman's Panchathan Record Inn will be one of the
best designed and equipped Recording Studio in Asia.
