Our Control Room, the center of it all. It is built around a 32 channel Polygram console and two B&W 808 monitors. Special attention has been given to the signal path to ensure the highest quality. Both the acoustics and the design detail make it a relaxing environment to work.
At the heart of the studio is a unique 32 channel Polygram (Philips) mixing console from 1972. The console was originally constructed by Philips because they felt that the top consoles at the time weren’t good enough for their prestigious Polygram studios and therefore decided to build their own. In doing so they set a standard which, in our opinion, has never been matched since.
The desk can be completely disassembled and put in flightcases and because of that fact it has literally toured the world to recorded artists like Genesis.
The studio has a nice big live room (75m²/807ft²), with a perfect balance between reflection and absorption which ensures amazing natural sounding recordings in the full frequency range. The large space and how we've set everything up also allows musicians to record together in one room, thus capturing the energy of playing live on tape.
The Studio is located on the East side of the Amsterdam City center (15 minuts away from Amsterdam Central Station) and opened it's doors on the 10th of September 2010. Our studio complex is located in the historic building known as 'Loods 6'. The building is a former warehouse and passanger terminal in the old harbour of Amsterdam and was built by the Royal Dutch Steamboat Company, KNSM, at the beginning of the 1900’s. It was the first building in the Netherlands to be constructed entirely out of cast concrete.
The area has undergone a lot of turbulant changes throughout the years and is now a vibrant place with bars, restaurants, hotels and shops.
