Russ Berger

Russ directs all the firm's activities which involve the design of audio recording, broadcast and television studios, as well as home theater and entertainment facilities. As president of RBDG, Inc., Russ enjoys being involved in every project. His past experience in the studio as musician, engineer and owner gives him unusual insight as a consultant into all aspects and phases of facility design. Russ is active in several professional organizations, and presently serves as President-Elect of the National Council of Acoustical Consultants (NCAC).

Russ has over 2,500 design projects to his credit. National Public Radio headquarters, Whitney Houston's personal studio, Sweetwater, NFL Films headquarters and Sony Music are but a few of his more prominent designs. In recognition of his work, the industry has presented him with eight TEC Awards for technical excellence and creativity in acoustics and studio design. In addition, he has been asked to lecture nationwide on facilities planning, studio and small room acoustics, audio electronics, audio monitoring, and microphone technique. He has also published numerous articles on studio acoustics and the application of computer techniques in the design of acoustic and electroacoustic systems. Russ is one of the original licensees of the TEF measurement system. When time permits, Russ is a cyclist, scuba diver, reader and chef.
