Hi-Fi brand Moon opens state of the art comms studio

Hi-Fi brand Moon by SimAudio has opened a new comms studio to better serve its customers and partners across the world. The Moon Studio boasts premium pro recording equipment, allowing products to be seen and heard in brilliant audio-visual detail. The company says it had to adapt as the traditional culture of face-to-face international business meetings and global trade shows remained in a period of transition.

Located in the Moon HQ in Boucherville, Quebec, the studio will be used for Moon’s regular Facebook Live events, global training sessions, video conferences, podcast recording and the creation of professional product videos.

A quick tour of the facilities reveals a Soundcraft Signature 12 sound console supplemented by a Rodecaster Pro podcast console; Shure SM7B and Sennheiser EW 100 G4-ME4-A microphones and an AKG K240 Studio headset for mixing, mastering and recording. A Black Magic monitor screen, video screen and 4K cameras have been installed, with the lighting provided by Aputure. There’s also a 55-inch Samsung screen.

Custom-made acoustic treatments were applied throughout the studio for the best audio balance. These were created by audio specialists, Boréales Acoustiques, who were also responsible for the treatments in Moon’s listening rooms.

Etienne Gautier, Moon’s sales and marketing director, said: ‘The new Moon Studio ensures that we will be able to communicate using equipment that complements the company’s drive for premium quality and attention to detail in every area of its operations. I look forward to being able to use the facility on a regular basis and I am certain our customers and partners will enjoy seeing and hearing us in a fully life-like mode.’
