Fundis, a producer through the years of such extremely successful artists as Trisha Yearwood, Keith Whitley and the New Grass Revival, was well aware of the depth of history at Sound Emporium. The studio, built by pioneer Nashville publisher and producer Jack Clement, was where Fundis' career as an engineer began in 1972. As its main client through the 1980's, Fundis was intimately aware of the potential of the studios. Since the purchase, he has led the studio into yet another era.

Sound Emporium retains the magic that made it one of Nashville's longest continuously running recording facilities. A complete refurbishment by Mike Chappell & Associates combined the sites two buildings into a single, more efficient and spacious two-room facility. The B Room was redesigned for optimum use, and the entire facility is designed around the idea of client comfort. That includes a full kitchen, conference room, a full-service staff, door phones and security cameras. Musician and artist comfort are provided for with special technical features like Formula 8 cue system, allowing individual headphone mixes.

The B room studio was sculpted with live tracking dates in mind. A cathedral ceiling was included in the remodel. The redesign was structured to retain the best acoustical properties of the room while maximizing efficiency of the facility as a whole. Studio A, which retained its own live chamber and was virtually untouched acoustically during the renovation, remains one of the largest tracking rooms in Nashville, Both studios now have custom Mogami wiring.
