The never ending Van den Hul 500/1000 amplifiers for sale topic mentions that they were originally from the Bop Recording Studio. After googling I found out the BRS studios were built at a cost of R935 million in 1991 in Mmabatho of all places!?
And Focusrite says it has the finest console in the world bar none?
Their website says:
Three world-class studios, designed by Tom Hidley, all in one complex! All three studios feature control rooms that are identical in volume and layout. The difference is equipment selection and size of live rooms. Each control room is equipped with a set of flush-mounted Kinoshita RM-7V monitors by Rey Audio featuring T.A.D. transducers, capable of 130 dB. Bop Recording Studios is also the place where the first Infra-Sonic systems were installed by Kinoshita. This system is capable of reproducing 9 Hz at 105 dB - a World First!
Not a Mickey Mouse studio!!
Even the building looks pretty slick

And all this in Mmabatho, sounds like some government largess gone haywire?
Anyone know why/where/what?
