A Note on Sound

The studio is soundproofed and records well. Occasionally you may hear transient street sounds from the neighborhood — sirens, distant construction. Every booking includes two Hollyland Lark Max wireless lavalier mics with built-in AI noise reduction, which filters ambient noise automatically without affecting voice quality. For most interview and corporate shoots this is a non-issue.
