DMI Recording Studios

Studio A, featuring a 48-channel SSL Duality Delta console, is a large format studio able to accommodate orchestras, concert bands, choirs, and wind ensembles and includes pairs of Genelec 1238A, Barefoot MicroMain27, and Yamaha NS10 monitors for referencing. The design for the studios was created by veteran engineer/producer Norbert Putnam who remarked, “When I first entered the old Whitfield Gym, I was struck by the amazing reverb being generated by the hard reflective surfaces. It reminded me of Abbey Road’s Studio 1 in London.” Putnam continues, “The symphonic room at DMI may well be the largest studio of this type in the academic world.”
