Recorders include Pro Tools HD3 as well as Studer A827 2" 24-track and Ampex ATR-102 1/2" 2- track machines. An excellent array of outboard gear, including Neve, API, Calrec, GML, Lexicon, Bricasti, Eventide, TC, etc. more than satisfies clients. Dynaudio M3As, Chord SPA1032 amplifier, and Avalon crossovers make up the active main monitor system. Impressive yet relaxing, Studio A’s control room is the ideal space to record and mix sound.
Past a wall of guitars is the 700 sq. ft. live room, home to a 6’-11” Yamaha C-6 grand piano. Shades of light blue-gold acoustic panels line the walls in a neat, puzzle-like formation, giving the room a neutral sound so any instrument or voice will reproduce truly in the recording. With a unique array of absorbers and RPG diffusors on the sidewalls, extensive bass trappings and a set of four large custom gobos (two with vision glass), this live room exceeds most standards. A large, diffusive Iso-booth and a smaller, more absorptive one each face the control room and live room, allowing band members to feel more connected while recording.
