Recording at 80 hertzRecording at 80 Hertz

Primarily we operate with Steinbergs Nuendo 4 and Pro Tools (in conjunction with re-wire applications). We are compatible with all sequencers, making session translation a breeze

We only use the most sought after vintage analogue microphone pre amplifiers & analogue processing

The Focusrite ISA 428 Pre Pack is an ideal multi-channel front end, we have eight classic Focusrite transformer-based pre amps with switchable impedance and direct instrument inputs with sixteen channels of 192kHz ADC, preceded by the all new proprietary Soft Limiter circuit, this provides the perfect audio path into Nuendo 4. The pre amp design is the cornerstone of Focusrite's signature 'warm-yet-transparent' sound and is a point of reference for any discerning audio professional.

Other pre amp channels include the classics such as the Neve 1073 & 2 Chandler Limited Germaniums. In addition we can insert the valve based Manley Variable-Mu Valve Compressor and Massive Passive Valve EQ into any signal chain to achieve some of the best signal paths money can buy.

Our comprehensive monitoring

The Westlake BBSM Series offers a high accuracy and high sensitivity reference monitor that provides wide bandwidth, low I.M. distortion, great power handling, pinpoint imaging and coincident driver outputs. The BBSM Series incorporate steep slope using extensive electromechanical dampening and point to point wiring. Westlake monitors are broadly used by the finest high-end recording and post production facilities across the UK and US. We also have the familiar the Yamaha NS-10s powered by Bryston amps.
