We found this special room that we named Vatnehall Echo Chamber
Just for fun we set up a test to hear what kind of reverb sound we could get from it. We were blown away by how nice and lush the reverb was. Therefore we set it up permanently for our own use. We also added a delay to the signal chain going to the chamber so we can dial in the
preferred pre-delay.
Then we start thinking maybe other engineers will love the sound too…
You can now have the same special reverb vibe on your mixes using our online service. Send your signal to us and get the chamber sound in return.
What is a Echo Chamber?
Before the abundance of reverb options made available by plates, springs, digital effects, and plugins, the only way to give recorded music an extra sense of space was to amplify vocals and instruments in a special room called an echo chamber, then mix the reverberant result back in with the dry recording. This adds something unique to certain songs.

Facts about Echo Chambers
Universal Recording founder Bill Putnam is often credited with the first recorded use of artificial reverb. In 1947, Putnam used his Chicago studio's bathroom as a makeshift echo chamber on The Harmonicats' "Peg o' My Heart," an instrumental ballad from 1912 covered by a trio of harmonica players.
Because of this, many original echo chambers have retained a certain mystique—and the most famous of them are still used regularly, even in the current age of digital reverb.
