Blazing Fast Speeds for Streaming/uploading
500-800Mbps up/down via Verizon Gigabit Fios
800Mpbs is via supplied ethernet cable, WiFi is around 400-500Mpbs
5G AT&T cell based internet failover backup, speed 60Mbps down/25Mbps up.
Note that a Netflix 4K stream is only 15Mbps! - Link
We cannot guarantee these speeds or prevent internet failures or a hardware failure, if Verizon has a bad day (which is extremely rare) we all do. We suggest for critical applications you have a backup hotspot.
NOISE
The studio has Sonex and GIK Acoustics panels inside to create a studio-like sound quality. However, the studio building is not soundproof. It is very quiet as we are in an interior residential courtyard. Take a look back at past months on our calendar; we would not be booked all the time if the sound here sucked!
Trash trucks enter the courtyard on Mondays and Thursdays, usually before 9:00 a.m.
PARKING
