Concentrating on the main section and central undercarriage of the Prowave facility, DCM provided initial engineering advice to AKA.
DCM then developed a light but sturdy central Prowave section, which mirrors the aesthetics of the rest of the suite.
Commenting on the relationship, Guy Wilson, Managing Director or AKA, said: "Our business is to provide innovative and design-led products to suit the individual requirements of our recording studio customers, throughout the world.
To ensure the best service, we work closely with suppliers involved - wiremen, acoustic engineers and architects".
"This same 'working together' philosophy has been a key feature of our relationship with DCM.
The company's attention to detail in the development stages - working to strict design constraints - as well as its ability to provide cost-effective design and manufacture have been impressive".
Managing Director of DCM, Nigel Stokes, comments: "When designing for clients, AKA tend to avoid utilising 'off the shelf' components, preferring to produce a unique take on standard objects and equipment, bearing acoustics and ergonomics in mind at all times".
"It is great to be involved with such a fresh-thinking company operating in such an exciting sector.
Prowave, along with all AKA's furniture solutions, is manufactured to the most exacting standards, to ensure the designs encompass ergonomics, durability, functionality and comfort.
We look forward to continuing to work in partnership with the AKA team".
