Studios & DJ rooms
Monitoring and playback with reference clarity, physical headroom and cabinetry designed to become part of the room.

Soundsystemsthat feel at home.
High-fidelity, high-output systems shaped through a long conversation. We model, revise, colour-match, hand-build, install and tune until each one belongs.

Hi-fi detail. Club-level impact.
A Scottish micro-club wanted clarity, physical impact and a system that belonged in the room. We designed the full system, built every enclosure, installed it and tuned it in place.

“Every track we put on sounds incredible. Every detail comes through crystal clear. When running at lower levels, people can still talk to each other.”
Andy — owner, The DarkroomSpaces built around music
Clubs, studios and private rooms.
Primary practice
Venues & listening spaces
Complete systems for clubs, bars and music-led spaces—from the first room conversation and system design through build, installation, commissioning and support after opening.
- 01System and coverage design
- 02Custom cabinet design and build
- 03Installation and commissioning
- 04In-room measurement, tuning and support
Private & creative spaces
One-off systems for artists, serious listeners and spaces where the object matters as much as the listening experience.
The format changes. The starting point does not: your room, your music and what you want people to feel.
Book a conversation →How the work happens
From first conversation to final tune.
Listening is not a discovery stage we hand off. It shapes the acoustic model, the cabinet, the finish and the way the system is commissioned in the room.
- 01
Listen
We start with the room, the music and the experience you want to create. A call, photographs and a floor plan are enough to begin.
- 02
Model
Cabinets, coverage and low-frequency behaviour are modelled before anything is cut. Options stay visible while the direction takes shape.
- 03
Build
Every system is built in our UK workshop from professional components and birch ply, with finishes developed around the space.
- 04
Install & commission
We position, mount, measure and tune the system in the room, then hand it over with the detail needed to run it confidently.
- 05
Stay involved
We remain available after handover for support, refinement and future changes as the room settles into use.
Tools behind the work
We build some of the software we use to explore loudspeaker behaviour—and publish it for other designers and builders.
Latest project · The Darkroom booth
The room, heard from behind the decks.
After building The Darkroom's main system, we returned to the booth. A custom pair of point-source coaxial monitors, hand-built in faceted birch, colour-matched to the room and time-aligned with the system out front.
- 01Beyma 6.5-inch coaxial point source
- 02Hand-cut, faceted Baltic birch
- 03Time-aligned to the main system
From the booth
“A f***ing dream to play on. Insanely clear from bass to top, even in a small booth. And visually, it completely sets the room — it gives the place a real identity.”
Vann Damn — DJ/producer · Instagram ↗Close to the work
A workshop that listens.
You work directly with the people designing and building the system—not a sales layer between you and the work.
Two people — Matt and Ben — stay with every project, from first references and rolling revisions through material, finish, installation and tuning.
Close collaboration
You see the options and shape the direction before the design is locked.
Continuity throughout
The people who understand the brief stay with it from first sketch to handover.
Built for this room
Performance, proportion, material and finish are considered as one system.
Start with a conversation
Tell us about the room.
Bring a photograph, a floor plan or a half-formed idea. We will talk through what the space needs, useful directions and what a project could involve. You'll speak directly with the people who design, build and tune every system.
