ROMAN RECORDING STUDIO CHOOSES QUESTED
Synchronia Recording Studio, situated to the south or Rome, is a new addition to the Italian capital. The production facility is director and manager Alessandro Giordani’s answer to the needs of the Italian music industry and has been equipped with to reflect his desire to provide his clients with a space that is both conducive to work in and cost effective. “We work with Italian artists who are mainly involved in rock and pop productions,” explains Giordani. “The famous Italian pop artist Luca Barbarossa recently visited our studio with his band to record the songs from his 2005 Italian tour. “Synchronia Studio is becoming an important name here and we hope to continue growing our music business thanks to our choice of equipment - like Quested VH3280s for our main monitor system. Our engineers told us that they are the best quality, so that’s what we installed.” The facility was designed by acoustic architect Giuseppe Zappata who has been working in professional audio acoustics since the 1970s with the likes of Italian RCA studios, as well as on other prestigious projects such as the Italian Military Navy Auditorium. Using SAE (Stealth Acoustic Environment), a system that he has developed himself, Zappata has given Synchronia a space that is as precisely balanced around the engineer’s position as possible. “With the SAE technique the space of the control room is carved around the listening point of the sound engineer,” says Giordani. This is achieved through specific construction of the wall angles that catch the low frequency acoustic energy flow. These flows reach the micro absorber structure of the control room and, in part, are absorbed by the structure, while the remaining part of the flows are reflected in all directions so that the main listening point is free from any acoustical return. Giordani concludes: “Not only is it our engineer’s system of choice, but the computerized acoustic measurement of the Quested main monitoring system has confirmed the validity of the SAE technique to give perfect control of low ends and mid frequencies.”
