We were very excited to learn that Airshow's Allyworld recording room, set to open November 7 in Takoma Park, has been nominated for a NAMM TEC Award for "Best Studio Design" in the Creative category.

We're extremely pleased with the team behind the design, Sam Berkow and his staff at SIA Acoustics, and for the folks at VUE Audiotechnik, RealAcoustix, and Soundproof Windows who helped us envision and achieve our acoustic goals with the room.
