Superior Acoustic Performance
MECART studios are engineered to raise industry standards, providing artists, producers, and engineers with the premium sound they need to succeed.
High-Level Soundproofing: MECART studio walls offer soundproofing up to STC 72 with a double-wall configuration, exceeding the typical requirements of STC 50–65+ in professional recording studios.
Premium Alternative to Traditional Studios: Our modular studios provide a high-quality, acoustically uncompromising alternative to conventional stick-built studios.
Lab-Tested Quality for Professional Sound Control: Our studio components (walls, doors, windows, silencers) have all undergone exhaustive soundproofing assessment, including laboratory testing for their STC ratings. Acoustic tests can be provided upon request.
Guaranteed Performance: SiriusXM’s Take on MECART Modular Studios
‘’We get bigger studios, with arguably better isolation because you’re not worried about what contractors did. You know that there are no gaps, there’s no holes, there’s no isolation issues. So you’re guaranteed performance.’’

Virginia Tech Turns to MECART for Recording Studio Design Expertise
‘’Our favorite part about working with MECART was their customized approach. So from the very early days of showing them our floor plan and getting out and measuring how much space we have for this, we did lots of iterative design work with MECART to find a studio that fit perfectly in the space we had available and met our needs for video production.’’

Financial & Operational Flexibility of Modular Studios
Modular construction offers numerous long-term financial advantages and operational flexibility, making it a highly attractive solution for expanding businesses, companies with leased spaces and industry leaders seeking adaptable, high-performance and cost-effective studio spaces.
Long-Term Cost Efficiency: Key Benefits
1. Faster Revenue Generation: Modular construction is 30-50% quicker than traditional methods, enabling income generation sooner.
2. Relocation Flexibility: Modular studios are adaptable to changing business needs. They can be easily relocated, eliminating the need for new construction and associated costs.
3. Predictable Costs: Built in controlled environments, modular studios minimize the risk of cost overruns common in traditional construction, ensuring a more reliable final cost.
4. A Financial Asset: Classified as equipment rather than real estate, modular studios may qualify for write-offs and can be resold, unlike permanent buildings.
”When we quoted it, the price was significantly less than the competitors, so it made these decisions simple because it met our budget, and it was way less than what the competition had quoted”
Flexible and Adaptable Studio Solutions
1. Relocatable, Future-Proof Studios: Our modular steel panels are like building blocks, engineered to be disassembled, relocated, and reassembled without compromising acoustic performance.
2. Effortless Expansion & Repurposing: Easily expand your studio by adding panels that interlock with the existing structure. MECART’s modular design lets you grow or reconfigure space as your needs evolve.
3. Streamlined Permitting: In many regions, our studios are considered equipment rather than real estate, often simplifying the permitting process and saving you time and effort.
4. No Retrofitting Needed: Our custom solutions adapt to your space with fully integrated utilities, eliminating costly retrofitting and simplifying installation.
‘’If there comes a time where LAAMP is ready to expand and we want to move, or we want to build something in another location, a bigger warehouse, we can always disassemble all of our studios and take them with us’’

Take the Next Step in Creating Your Recording Studio
Modular or Pre-Assembled System?
We offer two assembly options: the prefabricated modular panels can either be shipped unassembled on-site, or fully preassembled at MECART’s plant and delivered in a single module for a plug & play option.
Field Install: Modular Studio Panels Assembly On-Site
1. The prefabricated panels are delivered on skids at your site
2. Easy install by our install team or 3rd party thanks to our panel interlocking system
3. Ideal if the pre-assembled studio cannot fit through your building doors. Discover how we delivered SiriusXM Nashville studio through their 2nd floor windows
Plug-And-Play Install: Prefabricated Studios
1. Recording studio is assembled at MECART’s plant
2. The design includes a reinforced structure with lifting rings, allowing the prefab studio unit to be easily lifted, loaded onto a truck, and shipped to your location
3. Just power up the pre-assembled studio and it’s ready for use

Features of MECART Studios
HVAC System
In the restricted space of a studio, the heat generated by equipment, combined with that of its occupants can make it a pretty uncomfortable room. This is why it’s important to design a good HVAC system, equipped with efficient acoustic silencers if you want to keep employees happy without compromising acoustic performance.
MECART maintains acoustic performance while providing optimal comfort for studio occupants. We will design an HVAC system that meets your needs.
Panel System and Service Integration
Because MECART modular panels are built of hollow panel galvanized steel they can incorporate electrical, lighting and mechanical components in the wall cavity as the panels are being manufactured. Audio connection ports, which are frequently used in studios, are also included in the design to avoid compromising studio acoustic quality. Incorporating these components into the product makes studio installation faster, reduces the likelihood of unexpected problems or errors, and eliminates the need to hire an electrician. All of which reduces installation costs!
A Unique Look
In addition to being practical and effective, MECART modular studios will impress your clients, sponsors, producers and visitors. This can be particularly important if you rent out your studios. You can decide on interior and exterior wall colours, and choose from a wide range of doors and windows, with many other options available.
Testimonial

We needed several soundproof studios for our post-production department. Delivery and installation were incredibly quick. Our teams like to work in the MECART studios, which have a very state-of-the-art look to them.

I can’t believe we are moving already. It’s a good thing we can take our studios with us! Purchasing MECART studios was one of the smartest things I ever did! Let’s just say that I’m in management’s good books at the moment.
