RCA Studio B, Recording studio in Nashville, United States
RCA Studio B is a recording studio in Nashville, Tennessee, with paneled walls and specialized acoustic treatments in a compact space. The central recording area is surrounded by control booths and technical equipment designed for professional sound production.
The studio opened in 1956 as part of the city's growing recording industry. It operated for two decades before closing in 1977 and later reopening as a museum.
Musicians originally performed together in a single room, instruments blending their sounds with one another. This approach is preserved as part of the era when softer arrangements and string instruments brought pop audiences to recordings from this region.
Tours begin at the Country Music Hall of Fame, from where buses bring visitors here. The small size of the room means groups move through the booths and recording area at a quiet pace.
A system of colored lights once helped the engineer signal singers when to start and stop without speaking into the microphone. Artists often referred to the room by nickname, citing the street corner that distinguished it from other locations in the city.
