The sound equipment installation, primarily supplied by RCA, was designed by Howard Tremaine, author of the famed Audio Cyclopedia, who moved from Hollywood to live in Sunset Beach/Lions Bay area just northwest of the studio.
Tremaine had installed large wiring troughs of shielded audio cable, running from the stages to the machine room, presumably to allow recording and playback.
He had also designed a control booth, never used until PBS installed the first Ampex MM-1000 eight track one-inch recorder in Canada at Panorama.
PBS's custom-built console included input channels made by Neve, Altec studio monitors, Dolby-A units plus an EMT plate reverb.
The film projection facility had fallen into disrepair and was modernized by Brent Jaybush of PBS Studios for use by the productions of the Carnal Knowledge and McCabe and Mrs. Miller, which were being shot roughly simultaneously.
McCabe and Mrs Miller was shot at nearby Cypress Bowl, not at Panorama, but rented the projection facility from PBS Studios to run dailies.
