The Audio Studio, GML E271, was opened in 2018. Featuring up to four mic stations, a Tascam recorder and converter, and an 8-channel mixing board, the Audio Studio is ideal for professional, high-quality sound recordings. With sound-buffering panels, the Audio Studio provides an ideal environment for podcasts, oral history interviews, and other projects that require high-quality voice recording.
The Audio Studio is located on the second floor of the Golda Meir Library on the east side of the second floor bridge, in room E271. (You must enter the main, west wing doors, and cross the bridge on the second floor to reach the east side of the library.)
