STUDIO A

1978 Trident 80B desk with 2" tape machine
Pro Tools can be patched in via the versatile patchbay

This legendary console was built by Malcome Toft in 1978 for Utopia Studios in Camden, London. David Bowie, Queen, George Michael, Roxy Music, Duran Duran and Japan have all worked on this actual desk. It’s been recapped and still sounds powerful and lush.

LIVE ROOM 1

600sqft, beautifully acoustically designed room. Versatile, meaty drum sound, no nasty high end reflection. The same model of Bechstein Grand Piano that Trident Studios, London famously had and it sounds the same. As many organs, synths, instruments, amps, pedals and percussion as you could dream of.
