In early 1928, after decades of recording in various locations, the Victor Talking Machine Co. in 1929, the company became RCA Victor, and the studio became RCA Victor Studios. The facilities consisted of Studios A and B (also referred to as Studios 1 and 2), designed by Victor Co. employee John E. Volkmann. Studio A was the larger studio, with space to accommodate up to 35 musicians. Studio B was smaller, and used for piano and chamber music recordings. The shared control room was equipped with a simple RCA mixing console designed and built by its own engineering department, as were the studio's most popular microphones, the RCA 44 and RCA 77. Recordings were made on hot wax, so musicians had to wait a week for test pressings in order to hear what they recorded.

Many notable recordings were produced at the studio in the 1930s, including Audio Engineering Society was held at the studios, as was the first AES technical hip meeting held on March 11, with RCA engineer Harry F. Olson as guest speaker.

By 1969 RCA felt its 24th Street studios were too small, obsolete, and no longer competitive, and opened new recording studios within a new building at 1133 Avenue of the Americas. The 155 East 24th Street building was later sold to the City College of New York, who used building until 1998, after which it was razed to facilitate construction of the Baruch College Newman Vertical Campus. RCA closed its Sixth Avenue Studios in 1993, with the space later becoming offices.
