Neumann U 47 (Vintage)
The undisputed king of vocal mics. Our vintage tube U 47 delivers unparalleled warmth, presence, and intimacy. Perfect for lead vocals that need to sit authoritatively in a mix. Its rich low-mids and smooth top end make it a classic for a reason.
Neumann U 67 (Reissue)
The workhorse of versatility. The U 67's balanced, smooth character shines on vocals, acoustic guitars, piano, and as drum overheads. With its three polar patterns and low-cut filter, it's a sonic problem-solver.
AKG C414 XLS (Matched Pair)
Precision and clarity defined. These are our go-to for stereo applications like piano, drum overheads, and string sections. The nine selectable polar patterns offer incredible flexibility for capturing any source in any space.
Royer R-121 (Matched Pair)
The modern standard for ribbon microphones. The R-121 beautifully tames harsh high-frequencies, making it essential for electric guitar cabinets. It captures a warm, natural, and punchy sound that feels like the amp is in the room with you. Also incredible on brass instruments.
Shure SM7B
A dynamic legend for aggressive vocals, broadcasting, and high-SPL sources. Its built-in pop filter and rejection of off-axis sound make it ideal for capturing powerful performances in any environment. A must-have for rock, metal, and hip-hop.
Coles 4038 (Matched Pair)
The iconic BBC ribbon microphone. Known for its incredibly smooth and natural response, it delivers a larger-than-life sound on drum overheads and room mics. The 4038 provides a dark, velvety texture that is instantly recognizable and classic.
Urei 1176LN (Rev F)
The sound of punch. This FET compressor is lightning-fast and perfect for adding aggression and presence to vocals, bass, and drums. The "all buttons in" mode is a legendary effect for explosive drum room sounds.
Teletronix LA-2A
Silky smooth optical compression. The LA-2A is revered for its gentle, musical leveling on vocals and bass guitar. It effortlessly glues a performance together without audible artifacts, adding a subtle warmth and weight.
Pultec EQP-1A
The "magic" EQ. This passive tube equalizer is famous for its unique ability to boost and cut the same low frequency simultaneously, creating a solid, powerful bottom end without the mud. It adds air and sweetness to any source.
Neve 1073 (Preamp/EQ)
The most famous preamp in the world. The 1073's Class-A design delivers a thick, harmonically rich, and slightly saturated sound that has defined rock and pop records for decades. The 3-band EQ is incredibly musical and intuitive.
Empirical Labs Distressor
The modern Swiss Army knife of compression. The Distressor can emulate a wide range of classic compressors (from 1176 to LA-2A) and create unique sounds of its own, from subtle leveling to full-on destruction. Its distortion modes add character and grit.
Lexicon 480L
The definitive digital reverb. The 480L's lush halls, rich plates, and iconic ambiences have graced countless hit records. Its sound is deep, expansive, and instantly recognizable, providing the ultimate "glue" for a professional mix.
Studio A: SSL 4000 G+ Console
The sound of 80s and 90s hits. Our 48-channel Solid State Logic G-Series console is known for its incredible punch, flexible routing, and the legendary G-Series bus compressor, the "glue" that holds mixes together.
Studio B: Neve 8078 Console
The pinnacle of analog warmth and character. This vintage Neve console is a piece of history, imbuing every signal that passes through it with rich harmonics and a larger-than-life sound. The 31102 EQs are simply legendary.

A/D & D/A Conversion
Pristine conversion is key. We use Burl B2 Bomber and Apogee Symphony I/O MKII converters to ensure that the integrity of our analog gear is perfectly captured in the digital domain, and vice-versa.
Guitars & Basses
Our house collection includes a Fender '62 Stratocaster, a Gibson Les Paul Standard, a Martin D-28 acoustic, and a Fender '75 Precision Bass. All professionally set up and ready to play.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our standard booking frames are for 8-hour days, typically from 11 AM to 7 PM. However, we are flexible and can accommodate different schedules, including evening sessions or longer lock-out bookings. Please contact us with your specific requirements, and we will do our best to find a solution that works for your project.
Yes, all our studio rental packages include the services of one of our highly skilled in-house engineers. The specific engineer is assigned based on availability and the needs of your project. If you wish to work with a specific engineer from our team, please mention this at the time of booking. You are also welcome to bring your own engineer, but one of our assistants will still be present to ensure a smooth technical workflow.
Please bring your instruments (guitars, basses, pedals, etc.), any specific lyric or chart sheets, and a hard drive with ample free space to back up your session files at the end of the day. For vocalists, it's always a good idea to be well-rested and hydrated. Most importantly, bring your creativity and a clear vision for what you want to achieve!
Absolutely. At the end of each session, we will consolidate and transfer all the raw, high-resolution multitrack files to your personal hard drive. We recommend bringing a drive with USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt for faster transfer speeds. We maintain our own backups for 30 days post-session as a courtesy, but the client is ultimately responsible for their own data.
We require a 50% deposit to confirm your booking. The remaining balance is due on the first day of your session. We understand that plans can change, so we offer a full refund on your deposit for cancellations made at least 14 days in advance. Cancellations made within 14 days of the session date are non-refundable, but we are happy to reschedule your session to a future date based on availability.
Yes, we have a comfortable artist lounge with complimentary tea, coffee, and filtered water. You are welcome to bring your own food and drinks, which can be enjoyed in the lounge area. To protect our sensitive equipment, we kindly request that food and open-top drinks are kept out of the control room and live room. There are also several excellent food delivery services that deliver to our location.
