At the heart of the studio there is a brand-new SSL Duality Fuse 48ch, equipped with SSL δelta control and Fusion colouration processor. Described as the best of both worlds, it integrates the amazing sounding electronics that made SSL famous back in the ‘80s with the latest generation DAW controller, making switching between analogue and digital instantaneous and practical.
As an alternative to the SSL preamps, we have 24 channels of Neve pre’s, 12 Montserrats and 12 1081s, 8 Millennia, an AEA RPQ2 and 1 Chandler REDD.47. This allows you to tailor every aspect of the recording around your preferences. DAD converters take care of translating your sound into digital, feeding Pro Tools Ultimate HDX-3 system.
The Bricasti System 3 with remote controller gives you access to some of the best reverbs ever created.
