For 25 years AKA Design has designed and manufactured custom studio furniture desks for the post production, broadcast, recording studio and editing facilities and media environments worldwide. We liaise system integrators, acoustic architects, main contractors and installation companies to supply modern and stylish tailored technical furniture solutions for all studio environments.

AKA’s design and manufacturing process is run from the company’s North London premises. Unrivalled knowledge of studio ergonomics and understanding of both the operators’ and clients’ needs has enabled AKA to supply edit desks, broadcast consoles, grading desks and audio furniture desks for mastering, gaming, mixing and composing facilities.

AKA has worked with virtually all technical equipment available, and has CAD templates of most audio desks, grading panels and mixing consoles. Extensive experience of working with different brands has given AKA a great understanding of the working configurations, ventilation and cable management needed for integration into a facility.

AKA can supply a full custom technical furniture package including control room furniture, composing furniture, radio desks, producer’s desk, editing desks and voice over desks. An individual look and feel is created that throughout the facility, and a custom reception desk, boardroom and meeting areas can be integrated into the package.

AKA has used this concept to furnish many educational institutions including Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts, Royal College of Art, Newcastle Academy and the Royal College of Music. These educational workstations have been used for editing, mixing, composing, training and teaching areas.

Whether you have a home setup, recording studio or a large broadcast facility, AKA can equip you with all technical furniture needed in an ergonomic, stylish and individual package, tailored to each budget and time line.

The ability to add numerous configurations of worktops and equipment racks gives this system a flexibility which enables the operator to design the workspace to their individual needs while working in a perfect ergonomic and acoustic position.

The AKA PRODUCT range also includes three edit desk solutions: the ProEdit, ProLite and ProMedia. These edit desks have been designed to meet the requirements and budgets of various editing environments and can be used for Avid, Adobe, Final Cut Pro and other platforms. The ProEdit desk integrates fully with the ProWave range to create larger working areas by adding additional worktops and racks for individual requirements. The ProLite desk is a slightly cheaper version of the ProEdit which does not integrate with the ProWave products but includes an optional 12U bottom rack. The ProMedia is a compact edit desk designed to create an editing studio in restricted spaces such as home studios, media areas and gaming studios.
