STUDIO NEVE - CONTROL ROOM
The Neve Control Room features the largest vintage Neve in the world, with 80 channels of 31105 mic pre/eqs and Neve flying faders.
This one of a kind console has an extensive history. The left-hand side of this vintage 8078 was the original west coast Motown console. It later resided in Madonna's "Brooklyn" studio. Yoshiki Hayashi then acquired the studio, which became Ecstasy.
The console was then combined with another 8078 by Pat Schnider and Wess Dolly into its present form.
This Vincent Van Haaff designed control room is comfortable and spacious. With beautiful woodwork and fabrics from around the world, it's an inspirational place to work.
The monitoring features George Augspurger designed mains with dual JBL 18" subs on each side. Near field, monitors include NS-10's, ProAcs, PMC's, Adams, Genelecs, and many more. The Control Room is slightly elevated, looking down into the large tracking room. Having two ISO booths in the control room open up convenient possibilities. They can be used for overdubbing, vocals, guitars, and percussion, but they are also large enough to accommodate a drum kit. There are two Studer A27 24 track analog tape machines at Sonic Ranch.
