Before & After Sound Lab. Tampa's private vinyl lounge.
A private vinyl lounge, listening room and studio. Studio by day, lounge by night.
A room built
around the record.
Sound Lab is a private members' club on North Florida Avenue. Fourteen thousand records on a backlit wall, a VOID Acoustics system tuned for the room, three booths, two studios and a courtyard.
No bar. No walk-ins. Members and their guests, keyed in from the app.
