Centred around a rare 1970s Studer 189 console formerly owned by Ian Broudie (The Lightning Seeds), the studio offers top end monitoring including Telegrapher Rhinos (a UK first!), Kii Audio THREE and Yamaha NS10 nearfields, and a collection of vintage and modern synthesizers.

The booth houses a Wendel & Lung upright piano with a clear line of sight to the mix position and exterior window for daylight. Instruments are placed across the room, including acoustic and electric guitars, Fender Rhodes, congas and various toys and a turntable (and loop library vinyl collection) to find ideas on the shelves.

An 4K projector shines behind the mix position for picture reference, two options of screens (centre of console and right side on for sight-line to booth). A 32 I/O Pro Tools HDX2 system with an exhaustive list of plugins runs tirelessly on a Mac Studio M2 Ultra via Antelope Galaxy. The outboard racks feature oodles of classic compressors, EQs a custom Strongroom 1073 and plenty of effects including EMT, UREI, Tubetech, Dolby, Roland, Lexicon and more.
