Unfortunately, we have a rather large problem. Before I met this
gentleman, he decided to place the electrical box for the whole
operation _inside the studio space_. Now it's up to me to figure out
what to do with the damn thing. Besides the electromagnetic shielding
(which I suspect will be required in order to keep the current from
playing merry hell with the microphones) I imagine this thing will
destroy room acoustics. Not to mention, any treatment I do come up with
needs to be movable to allow access to the damn thing. Do I have any
reasonable options besides begging him to move it?

1. It's just a metal box. In the big picture it is easily treated by
putting something absorptive over it.

2. It's just a metal box. And it's grounded. You could alomost think of
it as being shielded.

3. It's just a metal box. Have you put up any mics in the room to test
your theory that it will be "playing merry hell with the microphones"?

My reading tends to imply that any protrusions from the walls obviate
any other acoustic treatments.

As for 3, won't that destroy the microphone if you're wrong?
