Sphere's approach to studio design fits beautifully with our requirments and our way of working. In particular, the concept of a centrally located machine room means our facilites and theirs are completely interchangeable. Any piece of equipment can be patched to any other and audio/video sent to any part of the world in seconds. This is a huge advantage for engineers/producers working in the big studios at Sphere. Their mixes can be streamed to the other side of the planet in real time for instant feedback from artists/producers/A&R.
