Raindirk Symphony LN2
Our control room is based around a Raindirk Symphony LN2. It was initially ordered by Decca recordings as a location recording desk, with various custom features to suit their needs. In late August 2012 it became ours and we have since brought it to 100% working order. It is dead quiet and very clean, but not boring clean. It has a lush sound to it, probably because of Cyril Jones’s attention to detail in all stages of the production. Highly flexible routing, one of the best EQs we have ever heard and great sonics make it a top choice for recording and mixing.
