Boutwell Studios is an audio recording and post-production company located at 2917 Central Avenue in Homewood. It was started in 1961 by WAPI engineer Ed Boutwell in his house. In 1974 he partnered with radio personality Greg Bass and moved to a larger building in Homewood. In 1986 Bass bought out his partner and secured a Small Business Administration loan to move the business to the former Homewood Church of Christ on Central Avenue and Mayfair Circle, constructing new offices and five separate recording studios in the 12,000 square foot space.

Boutwell Studios have been regional pioneers in recording and production technology. They have led the way in video-synching, recording distant talent by digital phone, creating a dedicated multi-media audio facility, and monitoring and mixing 5.1 channel surround sound.
