Our two magnificent recording studios share a common machine room which houses two 32 input / 64 output ProTools HD 3 systems, two Sony 3348 digital multitracks, two Mitsubishi 880 digital multitracks, and two Studer A827 analogue multitracks with Dolby SR. Comprehensive audio and machine control patching allow easy access to any of these formats.

Precision house video sync and word clock generators along with 48 channels of format conversion make digital and analog transfers quite straightforward. The Machine Room also contains the SSL power supplies and computers, and the air is cooled and filtered by three separate air conditioning systems. Audio Precision test equipment is used for calibration and alignment, insuring that all of our gear is performing to its maximum potential.

Video, data, and fiber optic cabling throughout the facility has been designed to distribute audio, video, sync, word clock, and a wide range of control and communications protocols.

Mogami oxygen-free cable is used for all of the audio wiring in the Starstruck facility, and the comprehensive grounding system and completely balanced analog audio system insure signal integrity.
