WGN Studios Case Study - QuietLite Windows and QuietSwing Doors
PROBLEM
Within the walls of WGN Studios, nestled in the bustling urban landscape of Chicago, a pressing challenge emerged: separating noise from the busy control room Operations Center from the Broadcasting Studio Room. Additionally, WGN needed the entire wall to be a window that could be as close as possible to being an entirely unobstructed view.
With WGN-TV (channel 9) serving as a prominent television station delivering essential news, talk, and sports programming, maintaining pristine audio quality was paramount.
