MOBILE RECORDING RIGS & RECORDING BOOTHS
Need your recording to be more flexible? Hire our Zoom R16 Multitrack recorders and mics, straight from our rehearsal and practice rooms, then use our world-class performance booths to start producing and perfecting. Being connected with tie lines, you can even use one room for live recording and another as a control room, so you can step in and out of the action when it suits. Create something new, or import your audio files into the DAW to pick up where you left off. If you need to do location recordings, that’s no problem: just hire a MacBook and interface and off you go.
