Sonic Scoop features Bunker SSL install
Sonic Scoop wrote a feature on the recent install of the SSL 4040E in Studio A. There’s a bunch of pics shot by our good friend David Mason. We’ve been loving working on the SSL and it’s proving to be great for large mix and tracking sessions. The flexibility of the routing, the sound of ...
SSL 4040E installed in Studio A
We’re very happy to have made a major upgrade to Studio A with the installation of a SSL 4040E console. This console comes from Sony Toronto and was fully refurbished by Sonic Circus. Known as one of the best mixing consoles ever made, the SSL takes Studio A from an amazing tracking space to a ...
Pair of Blackspade UM17 mics added
We just added a pair of the new Blackspade UM17 large diaphragm tube microphones to the collection. We tried them out on a drum tracking session for The Netherlands and fell in love with them. In the last few days they were used as drum overheads again on a film date, and then as piano close ...
