The Studio

Loading…

The purpose-built, acoustically-treated studio features 192khz 24bit+ digital multi-track recording via Motu 896mkIII and Focusrite interfaces and Steinberg Nuendo. At the system’s core is a high-spec hex-core workstation (designed and built in-house).

Monitoring comes in the form of both mid and near-field stereo and 5.1 surround/2.1 solutions from Focal, Avantone, NAD, and Tannoy.

A relatively recent and exciting addition to the studio includes a dedicated mastering suite/reference system boasting Martin Logan electrostatic speakers driven by Nord Acoustics monoblock power amps, twin Anthony Gallo subwoofers, coupled with an Audiolab MDAC+ and 6000 series CD Transport. This system is driven by a dedicated passive-cooled workstation (also designed and built in-house).

Monitoring comes in the form of both mid and near-field stereo and 5.1 surround/2.1 solutions from Focal, Avantone, NAD, and Tannoy.

There’s also a separate 7.2.4 Dolby Atmos system matched with a curved 65″ QLED UHD display with offerings from Bowers & Wilkins, Samsung, Pioneer, and Oculus Rift, all driven by a high-spec VR/gaming machine (designed and built in-house).

Hands-on control is provided by 24-track Penny & Giles automated-fader Mackie control-surfaces, plus additional controllers from NI, TC Electronics, Nektar, Behringer Akai, Wacom, Leap Motion, and Korg.

Visual monitoring is delivered via a high quality Samsung LED array consisting of 4 x 24” curved widescreen displays plus 46” main-screen. The mastering system utilises twin ultra-wide 4k displays.

There’s a compliment of microphones from AKG, Shure, Sennheiser, and Rode, location recording gear from Sound Devices, Rode, Edirol, and Rycote, plus hardware from Proel, Norstone, Gautier, Klaus & Meyer, Quiklok, and Atacama.

The climate-controlled space boasts full professional internal acoustic treatment including 6mm laminated acoustic double-glazing and acoustic-grade insulation and materials throughout the build itself. Combined with ergonomic layout and RGBWW LED lighting, this is a wonderful space within which to work, assess, and create.

It’s also super-efficient with modern build materials and utilises the latest automation and security technologies from Philips Hue, Ring, Canary, Yale, and LightwaveRF.
