Building Better Studios Since 2012

Calm-cedar began in a modest Brisbane workshop where a shared passion for sound and light brought together a small group of audio engineers and lighting designers. What started as occasional consulting work for local recording studios gradually evolved into a comprehensive service offering.

Over the years, we have worked on projects ranging from boutique podcast rooms to major broadcast facilities. Each installation taught us something new about the interplay between acoustics, illumination, and creative workflow.

Today, our team spans multiple disciplines — from certified electricians to acoustic engineers — unified by a commitment to delivering systems that genuinely improve how our clients work. We measure success not in units sold but in studios that operate smoothly day after day.

What Guides Our Work

Honest Assessment

We tell you what you actually need, not what generates the highest invoice. Sometimes the best recommendation is a minor adjustment rather than a complete overhaul.

Technical Excellence

Every cable run, fixture mounting, and acoustic panel placement follows industry best practices. The details matter when reliability is essential.

Collaborative Approach

Your input shapes the outcome. We listen carefully to how you work and what you hope to achieve, then design solutions that fit your actual practice.

Our Technical Capabilities

We maintain in-house expertise across the full spectrum of studio technology:

  • LED and tungsten lighting systems for film, video, and photography
  • Multi-channel audio routing and mixing infrastructure
  • Acoustic treatment design including absorption, diffusion, and isolation
  • Control system integration for seamless operation
  • Power distribution and backup solutions

Our technicians hold current certifications from leading manufacturers and undergo regular training to stay current with evolving technology.
