Prestigious recording establishment announces closure.
Doppler Studios, “Atlanta’s flagship recording facility since 1970,” has announced plans to close.
The Piedmont Heights establishment shared the news that no new work will be taken on beyond June 10 in a Facebook post Tuesday, May 31.
Kind comments from followers have been pouring in ever since.
“Let me be the third to offer gratitude for helping generations of audio professionals get their start in the business. Including myself. Good luck to Bill and Joe and the Doppler family as they move forward,” one commenter wrote.
City of Atlanta records indicate that plans for zoning verification were filed for the property at 1922 Piedmont Circle this March, so redevelopment could very well be in the property’s future.
Studio Manager Bill Quinn told What Now Atlanta Wednesday that the property has a new owner whose identity cannot yet be disclosed. Quinn also could not confirm that the property will continue to be used as a recording studio.
Doppler Studios has maintained a reputation of being one of the most prestigious audio recording facilities in the Southeast since its inception, having offered a very wide range of audio services including music recording, advertising and audio books.
Past clients include everyone from the likes of Aerosmith, Stevie Wonder, and Kanye West to Cartoon Network, Home Depot and former President Jimmy Carter.
Less than a mile away on Cheshire Bridge Road, another longstanding Atlanta icon, Alfredo’s Italian Restaurant, recently shuttered to make way for new apartments.
