Oktaven audiO

In 2016, we relocated from our previous location in Yonkers, NY into a newly-renovated and greatly upgraded space in Mount Vernon, NY.  The new facility was designed by Francis Manzella and FM Design.  

Live Room and Iso Booths

Our live room (42' x 30' x 13') can accommodate large ensembles of up to 25-30 musicians or 40 singers.  The 140 sq.ft. main iso/drum booth and 70 sq.ft. sound lock / iso booth are adjacent to the live room and are supplemented by a fully-enclosed booth (ca. 50 sq.ft.) for bassists and soloists within the live room itself.  Control Room B (ca.275 sq.ft.) doubles as a larger iso with HD CCTV links to all other recording areas. In all, a total of five isolated spaces with bi-directional sight lines are available.  Two additional spaces with audio-only tie lines are available for guitar and bass amp isolation, although it is possible to run video tie lines to these rooms as well for up to six booths at max capacity.

Control Rooms

Oktaven's 415 square foot Control Room A is built around a 40 channel API Legacy AXS with ATC, Barefoot, and Focal monitoring tuned by Francis Manzella.

Control Room B with its Studer 903 console and PMC monitoring serves as an editing and tracking space for smaller projects as well as an auxiliary iso for the main complex as required.
