FLOATING FLOOR:
The specific floating floor constriction that was applied to the
structure of both the control and the recording room of the wave
lab studios Cyprus is comprised of a single structure built on
compressed hockey pucks of mercury that are positioned in the
corners of the rooms. The numbers of resilient blocks was determined
by the overall weight of the floor,walls and ceiling and is deflected
by 15% so as to realise their full resiliency. The most demanding
task was to maintain the requisite weight equilibrium throughout
the floor. What's more an additional set of pucks is found in
the mid distance of the room's width that are intended to relieve
some stress from the main stacks.
SPEAKER PLACEMENT:
Symmetry is an imperative design for our studio. Only a completely
symmetrical room, both in terms of dimensions and acoustics is
capable of delivering the desired wide stereo image. When it comes
to symmetrical dimensions, the distance of the speakers and the
engineer from the room's walls and objects (outboards' racks etc.)
are designed to be equal.The speakers are positioned so that they
are in the same height and always on-axis to the listener's head,
this is even more important for the higher frequency tweeters
that demonstrate a higher directive character.
Overall the resulting character of WAVE LAB STUDIOS CYPRUS is
extremely accurate and bright no room for any acoustic deficiencies.
Both rooms have been given a short natural-sounding ambiance with
an incredibly tight bottom end. The sound stage of the control
room is wide and deep and the loudspeakers virtually disappear
creating a broad RFZ zone. There is also another quality to the
sound of the room, it lacks the clinical and analytical sound
that we have come to take as granted in control rooms. When you
sit down to listen, there is an immediate sense that you can trust
what you are hearing.
