Case Studies

When people ask what the GIK consultation process actually looks like, Zach Adams’ Nashville studio is a strong example because it reflects what many of our clients are doing. Zach is a professional producer and recording engineer working out of his home in a dedicated room.

This project gave us the opportunity to show, step by step, how we approach a real working room for an audio professional. Not an idealised diagram. A real space with angled ceilings, windows, doors, aesthetic preferences, and multiple functions.

Here’s how we tackled it.

Grammy-winning mastering engineer Adam Ayan partnered with GIK Acoustics to create a mastering room that surpasses the performance of his former space at Gateway Mastering. Using a fully modular system of 10" Sound Blocks, Soffit Bass Traps, and Q7D diffusers, the design achieved world-class acoustic precision without permanent construction. Detailed testing confirmed exceptionally smooth decay times, tight low-end control, and uniform frequency response across the spectrum. The result is a mastering-grade environment that’s not only technically superior but also flexible, scalable, and entirely shippable: a new benchmark for modern, high-performance studio design.
