The studio

A room built for sound, not fitted out after the fact.

1KHZ records, edits and mixes sound for film, television and advertising, in a control room whose acoustics were designed by John H. Brandt in 2018. Accurate enough to make mix decisions that hold up elsewhere, in a theatre, on headphones, on a TV.
