Our primary focus is the design of high performance environments for audio production and recording.

OSW is available to consult on any project that requires the unique expertise necessary to create exceptional studios that not only look and feel great but acoustically perform as intended.
OSW prides itself on its diversity of designs, and ability to integrate a client’s unique personality and requirements with the realities inherent in the physics of sound. The requirements for accurate monitoring, low noise and uncolored sound are the same for the personal and professional studio, and OSW exists to provide the best environments for all clients.
Translation has less to do
with the particular monitor with which you are working,
and more to do
with the room in which that monitor is placed.
