About Us

about the studio montage

80 Hertz is a high-end recording/sound/music studio in Manchester, North West, UK. Founded in 2005, with the following mission statement.

“We’re committed to providing an exceptional output on time with sharp attention to detail.”

We have built up a strong regional client base over the years & have also amounted many International & European clients too. These clients respect the fact that we do not ‘cut corners’, ’slack on clients time’ or charge for petty services such as burning CDs… We look at things from an educated clients point of view, this ensures the client gets the best value for money whatever the project nature.

As you expect, we are great lovers of music and pull on a very diverse range of musical influences from bands/artists/producers of many genres & sub genres. We love to be on the pulse of new music too, particularly music that pushes boundaries in sound, arrangement & innovation whatever the genre/sub genre/sub-sub genre!
