Atlantic

Atlantic Studios is the recording studio network of Atlantic Records, associated with a long-running in-house recording operation that began in New York City. The historic Atlantic studio was located at 1841 Broadway, and earlier facilities operated under the Atlantic Recording Studios name at multiple Manhattan addresses as the company expanded its recording footprint.

Atlantic Recording Studios was initially located at 234 West 56th Street from November 1947 until mid-1956. By August 1956, when Shorty Rogers and His Giants’ album Martians Come Back! was issued, the studio address shown had moved to 157 West 57th Street. The studio is noted for being the first to record in stereo, an advance credited to the efforts of engineer Tom Dowd.

In its current form, Atlantic Studios is described as a network of label-operated studios spanning New York, Atlanta, and California. This multi-city structure reflects a broader, label-run approach to recording facilities rather than a single flagship room, while maintaining the Atlantic identity across locations.
