SOUTH AFRICA: The Academy of Sound Engineering has announced a new facility for its training complex. The Johannesburg-based educational institution is currently in the final stages of building a new studio training complex.
Dubbed ‘The Sound Engine’, the new site is scheduled for completion in January 2014 and adds to its current facilities at SABC Auckland Park. The building will have a 64 seat film mixing theatre, an orchestral studio and two other state of the art recording studios.
Also of note, the Academy of Sound Engineering claims the complex will have ‘South Africa’s only purpose built, non-retrofitted 5.1 surround mix studios’.
‘The complex has been built with the most modern acoustic treatments available, making it one of the finest recording studio training complexes in the world,’ said George Hattingh Jnr. marketing manager and lecturer at the Academy of Sound Engineering.
