Ergonomics and Layout

      The layout of the furniture and equipment in a control room often appears at first glance to be somewhat haphazard, with similar looking bits of kit lumped together for no particular reason, and furniture placed without any real planning.

      Sometimes this is exactly the case, and a control room laid out by that method is almost doomed from day one.

      With a little forethought, rooms can usually be laid out in such a way as to minimize the extent to which the physical operation of the equipment interferes with the musical process.

      Little things, like having your favourite outboard in a meterbridge pod, and having the keyboard trolley able to be far enough away from the mixer so that enough bodies can fit around both, make a world of difference to how smoothly a session runs.

      You probably already have some ideas yourself about how you expect the room layout will look, and we will work with you to develop these into a comfortable, efficient working arrangement.
