Mastering
The Bunker’s in-house mastering studio, one of three Northward Acoustics designs in our facility, was built to the specifications of chief mastering engineer Alex DeTurk.
Like the mix room next door, this state-of-the-art listening room was designed to maximize the performance of large ATC monitors (mounted flush in its front wall). It’s an inspiring listening environment, but is also laboratory-like in its accuracy, and this owes to superior design and precise construction.
In addition to allowing Alex & Colin to do their best work, the superior monitoring also makes the mastering room suitable for occasional production and in-the-box mix bookings.
