Studio 2

Studio 2 has space for up to 7 musicians, and is an ideal facility for projects that have to operate within tighter budgets. The API desk was installed in 1976 and has been maintained to the highest standard, giving both a unique working environment and a sound that cannot be duplicated elsewhere.

Get in touch

'I love the split level layout with the control room above the live area. You feel the history.

It’s a creative space in which musicians and clients feel very comfortable and private. If you want a dry, punchy 1970s drum sound then setting RAK’s Ludwig kit up in the corner on the stone riser will get you there’
