STUDIO B

Studio B, "The Tracking Room"  hosts a Neve Custom 80 Series 26/8/24 mixing desk with Flying Faders automation that was originally commissioned for Pete Townsend's Eel Pie Studios. We have lovingly and completely restored the desk to its original condition featuring a new and versatile patch bay using Mogami oxygen-free cable to Elco connectors. This desk has impeccable sonics and is referred to as the "creme de la creme." Multitrack machines include the impeccable Studer A827 2" 24 track and a 24in/out Pro Tools HD system, or ask about our RADAR 24 with Super Nyquist converters. All of our near field monitors, converters, and most of our gear floats between Studios A and B. The Furman HDS16 headphone system enables each artist to mix his own headphones with totally independent EQ, panning, and level controls. Studio B is also connected via audio feed lines to our world famous live echo/tracking chambers, as well as studio A.
