Studio Rooms
The studio was designed by Roger
Darcy of Recording Architecture. The control room houses an AUDIENT
8024 Console and ATC SCM 300A monitors. All noisy computer
drives and power supplies are located in a separate temperature controlled
machine room.
Control Room.
The Control Room at Beechpark was designed by Roger, around an ATC SCM300 active monitor system. The rooms
acoustic treatment is designed specifically for the loudspeaker and listening
position. Following the installation and completion of the control room, the
monitors were commissioned by ATC's engineer, Ben Lilly. Mid and
high frequency levels were adjusted to match up with the increased low
frequency output from the in wall mounting of the monitor system. The in-room
frequency response was found to be well controlled by the acoustic treatment.
The low frequency extends down to 23Hz (-6dB) at the mix position.

"The remodelling of the Beechpark control room involved the formation of a high mass, damped monitor wall. The ATC speakers are flush mounted within this wall on mass loaded, fully decoupled vibration isolated plinths to maximise LF output without coloration from surrounding surface vibration. Low frequency control within the space is achieved with extensive membrane absorption - this is strategically overlaid with various areas of mid and high frequency absorption and diffusion to produce an accurate though not oppressively 'dead' listening space. Daylight and has been incorporated and colours/surface finishes and lighting selected to create a warm, atmospheric and hopefully creative environment.
The live area has been extensively remodelled to enhance diffusion and to provide a fresh, even-handedly live but controlled acoustic environment across the frequency spectrum."

The Main Room
This room is warm and ambient with a reverb time of 0.7 sec. Especially good for acoustic instruments, but also works well for drums. This room contains a Yamaha piano. It holds 12 musicians seated. There is natural daylight and good visability to the other rooms. Dimensions: 7 x 5.3, 3.2 meters high.
Vocal Booth
Bright airy room with a tight ambience especially good for vocals.
Guitar Room
Isolate instruments while retaining good visability to other musicians.
Machine Room
Temperature controlled, houses all computer equipment as well as the Studer two and twenty four tracks.
In addition to our studio rooms we have a new Large Rehearsal Room which can be used as a seperate rehearsal studio from as little as €120.00 per day
'The Barn'
The Barn adds the final piece to Beechpark's suite of live rooms - a huge, great sounding music room with space for the largest of bands. The barn was designed by Daire Winston, owner of Beechpark Studio, and Roger Darcy, a leading acoustic design consultant and architect.
Situated adjacent to the existing studio, 'The Barn' functions as a seperate rehearsal studio, or can be connected to the main studio for large recording sessions.
• Dimensions: 12 meters x 7.5 x 5 (40 feet x 25' x 17') or 1000 sq feet
