FACILITIES & EQUIPMENT
Facilities:
Mirkwood Audio is located on over an acre in a serene and beautiful area just outside of Northwest Corvallis, Oregon. It is an ideal semi-rural location in which to recharge and focus on your audio project. The studio itself is 750 square feet in size, including a control room and four soundproof booths surrounding an acoustically designed live room.
The other rooms of the house, including two bedrooms reserved for guests, surround the studio area; these enable us to offer overnight accommodations to up to about five visitors (by prior arrangement). The cost is normally included in a package with our full-day or weekend rates. A full kitchen is available, and a pool table and game room provide opportunities for relaxation during down time.
Corvallis (as the home of Oregon State University) boasts a full range of local motel and hotel accommodations as well. Good restaurants are available within a few minutes drive of our location.
