_Studio 1

Our largest studio, studio 1 is our most equipped space.

Complete with a 5.1 full ATC speaker array, Dante (audio over IP protocol) connectivity and a choice selection of vintage outboard effects, tape machines, guitars and synths, this room is a creative playground and sound design paradise perfect for all aspects of recording, production and mix.

With direct line of sight onto live room 2, our master studio can comfortably seat up to six clients plus our engineers.

_live room 1

The larger of our two live rooms, this versatile space can be used for anything from podcast round table recording to tracking bands and ensembles.

Boasting natural light, twin screen video feeds, flexible sound-dampening panels, and CAT 6 as well as XLR connectivity, this space is all about capturing the perfect performance.

_Studio 2

Studio 2 is our Dolby ATMOS enabled room. 

With 3m ceiling height, direct line of sight into live Room 1, this space can comfortably cater up to 5 clients plus our engineers and is ideally suited to film projects, larger voiceover record sessions and immersive spatial audio work. 

_Live room 2

Live room 2 is replete with an enviable array of sound making toys. From our beloved 1970s Chappell upright piano and Ludwig drum kit to Gibson, Rickenbacker and Fender guitars, this space is geared to recording voices, Foley and instruments of all kinds.

_Studio 3

Studio 3 is the cosiest of our four control rooms, perfect for music composition, songwriting and smaller client attended sessions. With active PMC speakers and modular audio interfacing, this colourful space is great for collaborative, hands-on exploration.

_Studio 4

Studio 4 is our newest space, added in 2022.

Benefiting from a fully isolated floated floor, natural light, 5.1 Genelec surround speaker array running into flagship UA hardware and tuned bass trapping, this room is perfect for voiceover sessions, sound design, mixdown and transfers.
