LIVE STUDIO EXPLORE THE STUDIO

KPR's live Performance Studio is acoustically designed to enhance sound quality. Various acoustical elements were designed into the room to ensure a good sound such as adjustable curtains, floating floor, non parallel wall and ceilings, and insulation to isolate the studio from outside and interior noise. KPR hosts musical artists from around the world for special live performance recording sessions which are mastered by our own professional sound engineers.
