Recording & production
studio design
Recording-studio acoustic design and audio system integration in London. Specialist consultancy for professional recording, mixing and production environments, resolved from the first drawing.

Two disciplines, one unified brief
A recording studio demands two equally rigorous disciplines: the acoustic treatment of the room, and the specification of monitoring, signal chain and infrastructure. We resolve both together, from material assessment and treatment to reverberation control, low frequency behaviour, measurement and commissioning. Where a project needs specialist isolation engineering or statutory acoustic reporting, we work alongside a qualified acoustic consultant. The same architectural rigour runs through our residential audio design and broader acoustic consultancy work.
Room acoustics
Isolation, absorption, diffusion and low-frequency control, designed into the room rather than added after the build. The structure, geometry and treatment work as one.
Monitoring & systems
Monitoring accuracy, signal chain integrity and operational infrastructure, specified around the room geometry and the way you actually work.
Spaces built around accurate sound
From measurement to a calibrated room
The room and the system are resolved together, from the first measurement to the final on-site calibration.
Measured, not assumed
We begin with measurement: room geometry, isolation requirements and the acoustic behaviour of the existing or proposed structure, so every decision that follows is grounded in data.
Acoustics built into the room
Isolation, absorption, diffusion and low-frequency control are specified and coordinated with the build, not bolted on once the room is finished.
A system matched to the room
Monitoring is specified around the room geometry, the treatment strategy and the way you work, so the loudspeaker and the space perform as one.
Tuned on site, handed over
Measurement-based calibration under real operating conditions, handed over as a reference environment you can trust.
An accurate room is not a luxury. It is the instrument every other decision is measured against.
BSR Recording Studios
A purpose-built recording and production facility in Chiswick, where acoustic treatment and monitoring were resolved as one brief.
Studio-grade rigour, from concept to commissioning
We treat the acoustic design of the room and the specification of the monitoring system as a single unified brief, calibrated together to deliver an accurate, reliable monitoring environment.
Not an equipment shop, and not a conventional AV installer. We work as an audio design partner, resolving the acoustics and the system together rather than as a late-stage technical package.

Before the room is built
We need to understand the room geometry, construction, intended use, monitoring requirements and the way artists or engineers will work in the space. Plans, sections and finishes are particularly useful because speaker placement, listening position, treatment and infrastructure all interact.
Yes. We assess the room’s geometry, existing finishes, background noise, monitoring position and practical constraints, then establish what can realistically be improved. The strategy may involve treatment, layout changes, monitoring changes or a combination rather than rebuilding the room from first principles.
They are inseparable. The monitoring system and listening position determine how the room is excited, while reflections and decay affect what the engineer hears. At the same time, the layout has to support the actual production workflow rather than forcing the user into an acoustically convenient but impractical arrangement.
Where included in the brief, yes. We can consider the monitoring system, placement, amplification and integration alongside the room’s acoustic behaviour so the two are designed as one listening environment rather than separate packages.
We coordinate the audio and room requirements with the architect, M&E team and other specialists. Where structural isolation, building-acoustic performance or formal testing is required, the relevant specialist acoustic or engineering consultant is brought into the design rather than those services being implied within the audio scope.
Depending on scope, commissioning includes final speaker setup, DSP alignment, equalisation and verification of the completed listening environment. Project documentation and operating information are handed over in the form agreed for the commission.
