Siren Studios by Malekpour Design Partners
Designed by Malekpour Design Partners in collaboration with Pro Audio Design, Siren Studios New York is located on 25th Street in the heart of Chelsea. This is the second studio MDP has created for producer Chris "Chi" Sanders, reflecting a deep understanding of what today’s creators need — technically, acoustically, and aesthetically.
The studio offers generous space for both work and downtime, including a lounge, kitchenette, and a dedicated area for artists and teams to relax. At the core is a large control room, paired with a well-sized live recording space and a private producer’s lounge.
Large windows bring in natural light and views of the city, while an internal glass panel connects the control room to the lounge — offering flexibility between privacy and a more open, collaborative workflow.
Siren is built for producers, engineers, and artists who want the power and luxury of a world-class studio with the comfort of home. Malekpour Design Partners shaped the space with expert acoustic tonality, precise diffusion, and bold visual appeal — with all gear and integration supplied and installed by Pro Audio Design.
"This is the second studio I've worked with Malekpour Design Partners on, and I love their approach to combining great-sounding spaces with beautiful aesthetics —while making sure everything is technically top of the line. There's no comparison when using Augspurger monitors in the studio. Our clients love the sound and the feeling they getfrom Augspurger, and we wouldn't have built the room without them."

So what else is put into play?
The control room and ISO booth at Siren Studios NYC were engineered to meet the highest standards of acoustic performance and technical integration, centered around a powerful and precise monitoring environment. The system is anchored by a soffit-mounted Augspurger Quattro 415 + dual Sub218QT system, paired with a Grace Design m905 monitor controller, AMS Neve 1073DPX, API 3124mb+, Tube-Tech CL1B, and a Universal Audio 1176LN — all installed and tuned by the team at Pro Audio Design.
To complement the technical infrastructure, a comprehensive acoustic treatment plan was executed in partnership with Jocavi Acoustics, featuring Squarydiffusors®, Walltraps, and LightWalltraps, all finished in black suede to integrate seamlessly into the studio’s aesthetic. The result is a refined space where sonic accuracy and visual design converge — a private creative hub built for focus, inspiration, and professional-level performance.
“One of the core goals with Siren was to create a space that felt completely isolated — both sonically and emotionally — from the outside world,” says Dave Malekpour. “Even in a high-rise location, true isolation is non-negotiable. We used a fully floated construction system to decouple the floors, walls, and ceiling. That allowed the control room and ISO booth to achieve an exceptionally low noise floor and highly accurate room response. That acoustic shell is the foundation everything else is built on.”
