In the summer of 2016, through funding from a Learning Environment Grant, the CLEAR Lab will be updated with a Carl Tatz Mixroom™ and Phantom Focus Speaker System™. This system pairs a specialized-speaker system with an acoustically isolated listening environment. Also this summer, students in both the Engineering Technology and Music and Arts Technology departments will participate in the Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Research Institute (MURI) to build and design 8 Fet Hardware Compressors that work with the modular analog SSL mixing console.

In addition, the CLEAR Lab serves as a critical listening environment for the process-based recording practice of the Janus Recording Project. The Janus Recording project aims to develop new and innovative recording techniques for New Music.
