This turned out to be something quite special.
We got to play with a pretty funky colour palette and
the massive studio monitors made the bottom end "no problem".

That RPG block diffuser wall was a 3D work of art and really sorted the bass. Along came the block and concrete monitor housing towers to contain the bottom end of the large main monitors that would come along later.
AC units ducting intstalled, ceiling framed up and sheeted.
Walls and floating floor framed and filled with acoustic absorption and sheeted. Diffusers installed. Doors and frames made in our workshop, shipped in and installed. Sheeting completed.
Fixtures installed and wiring in place.
Decor.

The boys of K-Klass were right at home playing in their new premises.
Andy Williams, Russ Morgan, Carl Thomas and Paul Roberts are all well known in the re-mix and DJ world where they worked with many high profile artists. They even gave us a hand to build. :)

The old cold war bunker was great from the sound proofing aspect
but a lot of concrete slab work had to be removed with jack hammers
and sweat before we were left with a clean palette on which to draw.
The end result was well worth the effort.
