STUDIO ACCESS POLICY

or Dolby Atmos Room, Production Rooms, Live Room & Editing Suites
Respect the space. Respect the craft.

​​

1.1 STUDIO ACCESS PHILOSOPHY

Kkala Studio is a professional, production-grade learning environment. Every room, every mic, every cable exists for serious artistic work—not casual use. To protect the space and ensure fairness for every learner, studio access is always supervised, structured, and scheduled.

Studio access is controlled to ensure:

• Safety of high-end equipment

• Fair access for all batches

• Smooth class operations

• Studio readiness for external clients

• Cleanliness and proper maintenance

 

Studio access is a privilege—not an automatic right.
 

Any misuse of the space may lead to suspension or permanent loss of access.

​

1.2 TYPES OF ACCESS

A) Class-Based Access (Guaranteed)

All students receive full access to studio spaces during their scheduled class sessions, under instructor supervision.
This applies to every course.

Only available for:

• 3-Month Programs
