Across the room, an oversized red mural showcases Hello Kitty and her friends, anchoring the central cash wrap and establishing the signature look of the space. Clean white brick facades, bold red framing, and gingham patterns tie the entire installation together, creating a cohesive retail environment that feels nostalgic, modern, and perfectly on-brand for Hello Kitty fans of all ages.

Michael Way is a certified L-Acoustic Engineer since 2001, a V-Dosc Engineer, an IATSE LO-CAL 16 Systems Engineer with Master Electrician qualifications, and thousands of hours on stage and in production. He has been an Audio Video Engineer for more than twenty-five years with a hybridized background in music and technology, beginning at an IMAX Space Theatre in 1994. He grew up in Southern California and now resides in Marina Del Rey. He has contracted custom theaters and constructed audio video systems for Sony, Google, and Facebook, in addition to working on music videos and live theater productions. Mr. Way is the Owner/Operator/Engineer/Musician behind Sound Pressure Labs (SPL). He has designed a system to have discreet control over the sound field, and he calls the immersive experience "Spherical Music". The Spherical Music Emulator is a custom designed control package available to purchase and install in any sound system to up-grade it to an ATMOS music design studio for L-ISA touring rigs, "TrueSPL". It is a system linking multiple computers and signal processing equipment to create a three dimensional control of the space. Mr. Way has provided a quality controlled signal processing system that interacts with L-ISA, ATMOS, and any 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound format. SPL has succeeded in combining the digital and analog realm, and has bridged the gap between biological and mechanical transducers by utilizing advanced sound reinforcement control techniques. Sound Pressure Labs has just released this specialized music format for ATMOS and other Spherical Music endeavors. Spherical Music or "TrueSPL" is a licensed trademark of Sound Pressure Labs. We are looking for options on distribution, but more importantly, wanting to release this technology to other musicians and studios to develop content. We have released this new music on DVD and Blu-ray because the amount of data required and the new methods are so vast (8 gigs for one hour), that it gives the control back to the musicians for mastering rights. This gives them a brand new mastering platform. We are looking to acquire permission to use published materials for this new format. We think it will be an expansion project and has many different applications in the industry. Sound Pressure Laboratory's custom built sound system has been captured live on stage with methods created by SPL, and it has created a three-dimensional sound experience that is reminiscent of Pink Floyd's extremely psychedelic sound control. SPL has succeeded in producing a hexaphonic/octophonic sound field and has plans for a 128 channel distribution system, in addition to creating a real time live/interactive digital analog amalgamation that deserves its own music genre.

As the leaves start to turn and festival season winds down, the Studio Tech team has been busier than ever-delivering reliable internet and Wi-Fi solutions for some of Hollywood's most anticipated premieres, E-Sports events, and immersive activations. Here's a look at what we've been up to-and what's new in our rental lineup.

"Black Phone 2" Activation

For the chilling Black Phone 2 movie activation at Rolling Greens on Mateo, Studio Tech helped Universal's experiential team deliver a fully connected horror experience. Our crew deployed multi-carrier bonded internet, secure Wi-Fi 6 coverage, and on-site monitoring to power everything from video projection to streaming feeds and interactive effects. Rain or shine, spooky or spectacular-Studio Tech ensures every activation stays online, no matter how eerie the atmosphere.

THE RUNBACK: Presented by AT&T

"THE RUNBACK: Presented by AT&T" brought together two powerhouse teams-FaZe Clan and PSL-for a $100,000 Call of Duty showdown at the Hollywood Athletic Club in Los Angeles. The event delivered a high-energy, entertainment-driven format, with PSL ultimately defeating FaZe Clan 2-1 in a best-of-three series. Fans packed the venue and thousands more tuned in online to catch every clutch moment, highlight reel play, and creator-driven commentary that made The Runback one of the most talked-about COD exhibitions of the season. Studio Tech provided the mission-critical Internet and network backbone for the entire production, ensuring seamless gameplay, low-latency performance, and rock-solid connectivity for broadcast operations, talent, press, and AT&T's on-site activations. Our esports-grade infrastructure-built around high capacity firewalls, enterprise Wi-Fi, and redundant routing-kept every packet moving so players and producers could focus on delivering a flawless show. In an environment where a single dropped frame or lag spike can impact competitive integrity, Studio Tech delivered the kind of reliable, tournament-ready networking trusted by top-tier gaming events across California.

"The Chair Company" Premiere

When the production team behind The Chair Company hosted their world premiere at Hollywood's historic American Legion Theater, they needed flawless connectivity to support red-carpet media, live streaming, and on-site production communications. Studio Tech provided a turnkey internet and Wi-Fi solution, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity throughout the theater, reception, and press areas. From streaming interviews to guest check-in and production coordination, every bit ran smoothly-because in Hollywood, even one dropped connection isn't an option.

One 805 Live - 2025

On September 20, 2025, the One805LIVE! benefit concert brought together music, community, and philanthropy at Kevin Costner's oceanside estate in Summerland, California. The annual event raises critical funds to support Central Coast first responders, drawing high-profile guests, media outlets, and live audiences. For the third year, Studio Tech delivered a turnkey connectivity solution, acting as an extension of the production team from pre-planning through load-out. For events of this scale, supporting connectivity and network services is as mission-critical as the live performances themselves.
