Sound City Studio A Control Room Men's t-shirt

Step behind the glass and into history. The Sound City Studio A Control Room t-shirt pays tribute to the beating heart of one of the most iconic recording studios in the world — the control room of Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, California. This is the current control room with Neve board similar to the one featured in the Sound City documentary.

Design Story
The back of this vintage brown tee features a rich photograph of Sound City’s legendary control room, where generations of artists shaped the sound of rock and roll. Subtly woven into the fabric is the impression of a master reel, a nod to the hundreds of sessions that ran through the studio’s analog gear. On the front chest pocket area, the Sound City logo stands proudly — a simple mark of authenticity from one of music’s most storied spaces.

From the Archives
The image on this shirt comes directly from the Sound City archives, capturing the warmth and character of a real working studio — complete with its glowing meters, worn faders, and lived-in energy. This is where albums by Fleetwood Mac, Nirvana, Tom Petty, Metallica, and Rage Against the Machine took shape, in a space built for creativity and imperfection in equal measure.
