Description: Producer/composer Robert Clivillés’ home studio is aptly named, as it is built into his 500-square-foot, two-car garage. Acoustic treatments include a pair of ultrathin perforated membrane Clearsorber™ panels from RPG positioned between the rear of the speakers and the rack room doors, creating an absorptive boundary to reduce SBIR (speaker boundary interference effect). Equipment for the studio was provided by Professional Audio Design.
