Our Facilities

BOMO Audio’s studios are located within the Picture House production hub. The studio space comprises two, separate floating rooms with a large, sound-proofed window between the live room and control room. This provides good sight lines between the talent and engineer, client, or director during sessions in addition to communication over the studio talkback system between the two rooms.

We are boutique, so while our spaces might be on the smaller side – they are perfectly formed, comfortable and well equipped.  

Live Room

Our smaller space is used as a live recording room for voiceover, ADR or Foley and can comfortably accommodate up to four performers at a time. The room can be configured to accommodate a variety of recording setups from round table podcasts to single ADR to picture sessions. The studio spaces were originally designed and fitted as radio studios and as a result offer a larger recording space than most purpose-built VO booths. This is great for ADR sessions where actors are free to move comfortably.  

Control Room

Our control room is the larger sound treated space and has a client sofa and client monitor for working to picture. The studio is built around the latest Avid Pro Tools Ultimate software with outboard hardware such as Audient and Focusrite preamps, and DBX compressors. Along with the usual Zoom option for remote working (not recommended for ADR sessions), we use  Source Connect to either connecting live to external studios so they can record our local talent remotely, or to record talent from anywhere in the world to our studio in real time.

The space is setup for stereo and 5.1 mixing over near-field monitors. Larger and more complex mixing projects such as theatrical 7.1 and Dolby ATMOS mixes are handled offsite at a partner facility.
