Capitol Records in LA 💫

 


The Secret of that Capitol Studios Sound.

One of the Les Paul-designed echo chambers under the Capitol Records ...





In 1955, Les Paul, one of America's foremost recording experts, was brought in to consult on the design of Capitol's new recording studio. In addition to creating a world-class, acoustically tuned environment for recording and mixing the hits of the day, Paul helped create eight concrete echo chambers, built 30 Roughly trapezoidal with no parallel surfaces, each of Capitol's chambers has slightly different dimensions tailored to produce different reverb characteristics and decay times, up to five seconds long in 1955.
