The Relic Room is a boutique audio production facility with a uniquely adaptive and artistic identity. Located on the border between Manhattan’s Flatiron District & Chelsea neighborhoods, The Relic Room features classic hardwood floors, high ceilings, open neutral space, and plenty of natural light. Our beautiful 1500 square foot studio harkens back to the kind of space once common in New York City, and now quite rare to find. As well as maintaining one of the largest live rooms in Manhattan, The Relic Room offers some of the best tools available for analog and digital audio production, along with a highly knowledgeable staff. We aim to provide a haven of creativity and casual comfort in the midst of Manhattan’s busiest and most commercially productive area.
