SERIOUS ABOUT SOUND
University of Huddersfield Blue Rooms Studio Installation
University of Huddersfield proposed a new studio block consisting of a control room, recording area and 3 post production studios. DACS offered a complete service including architecture and building.
DACS designed and built all rooms each acoustically treated. All rooms were then fitted out by DACS with appropriated furnishings, equipment, cable and any miscellaneous recording accessories.
