Equipment List

This is a selection of our current inventory of equipment. Even with a collection of high end tools such as this one, we are continuously searching for ways to improve the sound of our clients’ projects, and continuously adding new equipment.

Successful recording projects begin with great music, great musicians, and equally great room acoustics and musical instruments. We use the world’s finest audio recording technology to capture the precise details and nuances of musical expression, and transfer the emotion of your music to the listener’s ears. Our technology systems are an essential factor in the musical process.
