Maynooth University has added a new mix room to enhance their impressive music department facilities. The new Mix Room is based around an Avid ProTools HDX system, Avid C24 Control Surface and a Genelec 5.1 surround system comprised of five Genelec 8040B active monitors and one Genelec 7070 active Subwoofer. The system was commissioned and installed by Big Bear Sound.
The acoustics are designed around a selection of Vicoustic products. The mix of diffusers and absorbers used gives a neutral frequency response ideal for 5.1 mixing. Darren Phelan of BIG BEAR commented,
“ Vicoustic are providing us with acoustic solutions that look and sound fantastic but are great value and very affordable. They are ticking a lot of boxes right now for our clients and we’re delighted with how Maynooth University has worked out.”
The new mix room compliments the existing recording studio, into which BBS also supplied and installed Ireland’s first Radar Studio 24 track hard disk system. The new Radar is also capable of running any Windows based Digital Audio Workstation.
Head of the Music Department at Maynooth University Professor Chris Morris added, “The recent expansion of our audio facilities represents an important investment in state of the art equipment for our students. We’re delighted with the installation and the acoustic treatment.”
