The Hagar Room of The Magic Shop recording studio is a unique environment for mastering music CDs as well as final film soundtrack sweetening. The room was designed and built by Dennis Stearns who has built some of the finest audio facilities in the world, including Skywalker Ranch, Fantasy Studios and Steven Speilburg's private theater.

Speaker designer Paul Vella collaborated with Dennis Stearns to optimize the physical characteristics of the room for his speakers. He then modified his speaker design to perfect their performance in the room. The result is immediately apparent to visiting engineers and producers. All of The Magic Shop's equipment is mounted in isolation rooms so that the Hagar Studio is extremely quiet. It is an all-digital environment with the following hardware and software features:
