The refurbishment is part of general expansion of the audio facilities at BBC Post Production in Bristol, where there are now two main dubbing theatres with Foley facilities and a third, smaller, dubbing theatre with a commentary booth. The complex also houses three track lay areas. Both the large dubbing theatres are equipped with AMS Neve MMC consoles, while the smaller theatre has an AMS Neve Logic 3 console.
Andy Munro, head of Munro Acoustics, adds: "The acoustic refit was planned and pre-fabricated in one month and then completely installed over a three week phased period, alongside the BBC team."
BBC Bristol was recently designated a centre of excellence for documentaries and is now the permanent home of the award-winning Natural History Unit. The audio facilities at BBC Post Production are used to post produce leading dramas and documentaries such as Natural World and Casualty.
