Recording engineer Ann Mincieli has recently opened Jungle City Studios, designed by the Walters Storyk Design Group, Highland, NY. The sleek new studio, with state-of-the-art acoustics and vintage recording equipment, sits atop a Chelsea loft building, steps from the High Line and at the heart of the city’s art scent. Clients include Alicia Keys, who is building a mirror image studio adjacent to Jungle City, as well as Beyonce, Bono and other high profile clients. RPG is proud to have been specified to provide the sound isolation as well as the interior acoustical treatment. Due to the fact that the studio was not on grade thick concrete floors could not be used. Therefore, to provide the highest isolation RPG provided it’s DPM/DPS roll our floor isolation system for the studio and control room, utilizing special resilient isolators capable of being used with lightweight floors. The system also features the innovative DPS strip, not found in any other roll out system, to handle the different perimeter loads when the walls and ceiling are resting on the floating floor, insuring uniform deflection. The system was so effective, no measurable noise interference was reported in adjacent spaces
