The Cave & Sun Room – Overview
The jewel in the East Iris crown, the Cave is a spacious studio featuring a combined control room and lounge with a single booth and features a unique Brent Averill white API console. Ideal for overdubs, mixing, and writing it can be combined with the adjacent Sun Room as tracking space. Modeled after the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis, but with higher ceilings to improve acoustics, the Sun Room brings the vibe of legends past to the modern recording environment.
