We have recently upgraded our recording equipment with the arrival of renowned Scottish Producer/Engineer Kenny Macdonald.

It's all very exciting, and you can have a look on Kenny's own site at www.cdonald.co.nz to check out the gear in addition to that listed below.

Our control room contains a Protools HD 192 system running on an G5 Intel Mac.

We have a great selection of Shure, Audio Technica, Avantone, Neumann and R0DE microphones.

Audio monitoring is on Genelec 1032a.

Our unique rehearsal and soundproof recording space remains the same as that used by Rikki Morris's Bus Recording Studio, which saw many great sounding recordings produced.

The rehearsal space measures 5.4m x 4.2m, and a control room which measures 4.2m x 2.8m. (These rooms are separated by a triple-layered window, so you can make sure the drummer isn't stealing your iPod.)
