Inside Kingsize Soundlabs with Dave Trumfio
Dave Trumfio has been a fixture in professional recording for nearly four decades—from engineering Chicago house music and Midwest death metal in the late ’80s to producing OK Go, Wilco, My Morning Jacket, and countless indie records that defined the ’90s and 2000s. In our latest video conversation at Kingsize Soundlabs in Los Angeles, Dave shares his journey from Chicago’s burgeoning electronic and indie scenes to building one of LA’s most respected producer studios. Twenty-five years after opening Kingsize LA, Dave recently completed a major studio overhaul with Providence Sound & Vision—replacing his beloved Neve 8068 with an SSL Origin console, curating a “greatest hits” outboard rack, and rethinking what a commercial studio needs to survive in the modern era.
Building An Audiophile-Grade Meyer Sound System At Stephen Curry’s Bourbon Bar
When Stephen Curry was looking for a Bay Area space to feature his award-winning bourbon, Gentleman’s Cut, he created The Eighth Rule – an intimate bourbon-driven bar with only 40 seats, hidden behind an unmarked door below the historic Westin St. Francis.
The construction management team renovating this historic hotel came to us with a very specific goal: “The client desires a high-fidelity sound system that creates an inviting atmosphere for conversations over cocktails and transitions to nightclub-level volumes for parties hosted by Stephen.
We turned to Meyer Sound, whose compact yet ultra-powerful line of speakers would exceed the client’s expectations and make for a low profile and clean installation.
