Studio 1 is built around our Nautilus control room, planned and acoustically designed by German renowned studio expert Fritz Fey. It has a very flat response, excellent even in the very low frequencies and it provides a very natural and uncoloured sound.
Nautilus houses a 40-channel Raindirk Symphony which offers up to 132 channels during mixing. It’s an excellent console with an enourmous flexibility paired with an ultra-low level of mixing or inherent noise (-100dB SNR) and awesome preamps and EQs.
The console has over 200 patchpoints running to our sideracks which are equipped with a nice selection of vintage outboard gear and selected new stuff. You also can bring your own equipment or lunchbox and plug it into our guest lines using XLR or Sub-D connectors.
You can record fully analog to our premier league 1″ 8-track Studer A800 (24-track if desired), digital to Protools, Logic, Cubase or any other DAW using our 32×32 Focusrite RedNet Dante system or anything inbetween. If needed we can scale our system within 10 minutes to 128×128 digital in-/outputs. You can mixdown to our 1/4″ Studer master recorder.
