Years ago, when I was taking studio production courses at Hesser College in Manchester NH, I wrote a paper on Earthworks Audio. I interviewed with Mr Blackmer, who was gracious enough to take me on a tour of the facilities.
On the tour, we looked at the anechoic chamber where they test the designs. I was allowed to go into the chamber. It was a very eerie sensation. It was as if I had left the dimension we reside in and was stuck in some interstitial zone. I actually became physically disoriented and almost stumbled. I didn't stay in very long, just a few seconds and it was a relief to get back out.
Apparently it was not an unusual reaction for the uninitiated. I like peace and quiet, but the utter absence of ambient sound was disconcerting to say the least.
It is pretty cool to have a world class audio company practically in my backyard.
