The main control room (A Room) is built around an API Legacy AXS console. This board, commissioned by API in September 2018, is a 48 channel frame short-loaded with 40 in-line channel strips. It's an incredible sounding desk and a pleasure to work on, and we're thrilled to be one of the few studios in the northeast running a Legacy AXS.
