Sound
Millions of people around the world can attest to the quality of Park Road’s sound facilities. The team of editors and mixers that created the sound for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and King Kong did so at Park Road. Our in-house mixer, Michael Hedges, was a key member of both those Academy Award®-winning teams.
Our remarkable cinema-scale theatres are Dolby® and THX® certified with Euphonix System 5 mixing consoles. ISDN, Dolby® Fax and fibre enable your data to be directly transferred to anywhere in the world. There’s also an LLK4 Laser sound camera that can produce sound negatives in Dolby® Analogue, Digital and DTS.
MIXING THEATRES
The two large mixing theatres are the jewels in Park Road’s crown. They feature fully automated 274-channel Euphonix System 5 consoles with monitoring for all film and digital formats. There’s also a third, smaller theatre equipped with a 70-channel System 5 console.
All three have high quality video projection from random access digital replay and the two large theatres have 35mm high-speed film projection.
FULL SIZE FOLEY STAGE
The sound department boasts a purpose-built 600 square foot foley stage that’s staffed with experienced recordists and performers, all of whom are accustomed to working on large-scale film and television projects.
LARGE SCREEN ADR
Park Road has a specialist ADR theatre that allows actor, director and operator to work in direct line of sight. It features a large digital playback screen with a streamer cueing system for faster, more accurate dialogue placement.
EDITING & TRACKLAYING
Fully-equipped tracklay and edit rooms feature ProTools editing systems linked by server to the mix desks. There are several editing suites, including 5.1 design rooms, in close proximity to the mixing theatres. These 18 suites are available to house your sound design teams for the duration of your post sound work.
“It's very rare to find a facility on this scale with such a high quality of sound in a room that simulates a cinema experience. But above and beyond this is the pure excitement and passion the staff has, and it shows in the final product. The quality and enthusiasm of the artists and operators at Park Road is matched by their skill. It's a rare and beautiful thing.”
30 Days of Night
“Everything a filmmaker could possibly need for post production is all there under one roof. And a beautiful roof, at that. Editing suites, sound editing facilities, ADR stages, Digital Intermediate grading, state of the art mixing stages and an amazing client theatre in which to watch it all come together! In the past, I've had to drive all over Los Angeles for hours at a time, at Park Road I just walk down the hall. It's simply the best post production facility I've ever seen. ”
