HHB Delivers Recording Studio To New Academy
A supplier of professional audio technology has equipped a new state funded creative, digital and performing arts school with a new recording studio.
HHB Communications supplied Birmingham Ormiston Academy (BOA) with the new studio based around Avid tools and AKA Design’s technical furniture.
The new recording studio’s system works around a 40-fader Avid Pro Tools D-Command desk and a comprehensive set of accessories including a range of high-end microphones, Genelec monitors, cabling, plug-in bundles from Waves, Native Instruments and Melodyne, a full set of instruments and Aviom’s Pro16 headphone distribution system.
The new D-Command console features Pro Tools control and a dedicated centre section for editing EQ and dynamics plug-ins, as well as per-channel control over many processing functions, routing, and automation modes. It will provide students in the Broadcast Media and Music courses with the tools to create original compositions, as well as write and edit music for TV, Film and record live bands.
HHB served an integral role in the technical specification of the studio and provided a 'turnkey' service that included consultation, installation, commissioning and training.
BRIT Trust Chairman, John Craig OBE, opened the recording studio on 18th October. Joining him on the day was former BRIT School student and multiple MOBO Award-winning pop star Jessie J, who performed for the students in its new 200-seat theatre.
The Academy is based in a brand new landmark building, geographically placed at the hub of Birmingham’s digital and creative industries, Millennia Point. The new studio was funded by the BRIT Trust and specified by staff from The BRIT School. In addition to the recording studio, BOA boasts four dance studios, six rehearsal studios, an open-air amphitheatre, a TV studio and a radio station.
Gaynor Cheshire, BOA Principal said: "We are extremely grateful to the BRIT Trust for this sizable donation which has helped us realise the dream of providing our students with a first-class recording studio. HHB provided BOA with a complete professional service throughout the development of the recording studio, which has resulted in a fantastic facility for our students."
