Equipment includes a high-end Windows workstation, a synthesizer, digital audio importing and editing hardware, access to a number of audio sources providing both digital and analog import capability, and sound editing software.

Media Presentation Lab (101Q) - A room equipped with computer and video projection facilities that can accommodate up to 15 people for viewing and evaluating presentations developed in the Studios.
