The sound studio at Callie’s was established to host musicians and artists working with the medium of sound. With an eye on research and interdisciplinary engagement, the sound studio is run by a small group of practitioners. Both a recording studio and a space for ongoing research, rehearsal, and performance, the sound studio reflects the pluralistic approach to art that is fostered through Callie’s program, in which different modes of cultural production have the opportunity to work in collaboration and mutual engagement.

The sound studio consists of a fully acoustically treated 180-square-meter rehearsal and performance space and adjoining professional-grade mixing and recording studio. The rehearsal and performance space is equipped with a full-range quadraphonic Klein + Hummel PA, a 32-channel Allen & Heath mixer, and a range of microphones, headphones, DI boxes, and other recording equipment for use in the studio. The recording and mixing studio has a 32-channel Midas mixer, a stereo pair of 3-way near field monitors, Grace and Audient preamplifiers, an RME soundcard, a talkback system, as well as a studio computer with access to Ableton Live and Reaper.
