This is a partial list of gear that we own and use. If you require different or additional equipment it will be rented and billed to the client at cost + 10%.

We have several rigs for various projects. Our "A" rig consists of a 24-track recorder with either a full mixer or 24 quality preamps. The "B" rig consists of 8 channels of excellent preamps direct to a hard-disk recorder or laptop. We have multiple "C" rigs for small projects, including simple two-track recorders and a ProTools rig. With all of our rigs we use the best and most appropriate microphones for the job.
