  Gold Star Studios - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gold Star Studios was a major independent recording studio located in Los Angeles, California.
Gold Star is best known as the home of Phil Spector's famous "Wall of Sound" recordings, which utilised the studio's custom-designed recording technology, hand-built by Gold, and its famed echo chambers.
Another of Gold's innovations was a small transmitter that allowed him to broadcast mixes so that they could be picked up on a nearby car radio, which was especially important to recording artists in the era when AM radio was the dominant broadcast medium.
