The Control Room

Our Spacious, recently acoustically redesigned control room, offers producers and engineers an ideal environment in which to ‘create’. 

At the business end of the control room is a 48 Channel Inline Neve V1 console (96 Channel on mix), with Martinsound Flying Fader automation and mutes on every channel. 

For monitoring, the studio boasts Quested HQ 410 active with 21” LF Drivers,  Genelec 1031A’s and Yamaha NS10’s for Nearfield Monitoring.  The Control Room acoustics were redesigned in December 2007 by Andrew Bolton and Nick Whitaker.

Loads of tasty outboard gear to try out on your tracks with lots of famous names like Universal Audio, Avalon, Massenburg, DBX, AMEK, Drawmer, Thermionic Culture, Bel, Eventide, Lexicon and Neve.  We’ve even got an EMT plate reverb to add some classic warmth.

We use GPO patchbays at Fortress because of their large surface area and reliability.  Patch panels above our racks make it easy to connect up your own outboard should you wish to.
