Our Equipment (listing of a few of our production/recording equipment)
Rode NT1
It features a wide 132 dB dynamic range and a maximum Sound Pressure Level of 137 dB to cover the quietest cymbal chimes to the boomiest bass parts with equal clarity and presence. The full-range frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz is capable of reproducing whatever you record with spot-on accuracy. Use it as a room mic for rhythm and instrument tracks, then prop it up on a boom stand for rich, warm vocals.

M Audio Studiophile BX5
The Studiophile BX5a Deluxe monitors update M Audio's bestsellers with new waveguides and enhanced driver integration for a cohesive and refined sound. The 5-inch low-frequency driver cones are crafted from Kevlar, an extremely resilient material. Curved cone design coupled with high-temperature voice coils and damped rubber surrounds deliver excellent fidelity and durability. The 1-inch waveguide-loaded, high-frequency drivers are made of magnetically shielded silk domes for a crisp top end that’s gentle on the ears. 70-watt bi-amped power and expertly tuned crossovers round out a first-rate pair of reference monitors with a footprint small enough to fit just about anywhere.

Presonus Eureka Pre Amp Channel Strip
The Eureka is a professional recording channel strip containing a discrete class A transformer-coupled microphone preamplifier, FET compressor, and three-band parametric equalizer. The microphone preamplifier features variable input impedance so that the Eureka can be matched and "tuned" for all types of microphones and recording applications.
The Class A transformer-coupled microphone preamplifier also features "SATURATE" which adjusts the drain current on the input FET amplifier to simulate of the effects of tape saturation and tube "warmth". The Eureka's ultra fast FET compressor has both soft and hard knee compression as well as a separate make up gain stage and hi-pass side chain compression to deliver hard pumping to ultra transparent compression and everything in between.
The Eureka's 3-band fully parametric EQ gives you variable Q (bandwidth) on each band as well as an EQ pre COMP switch to put the EQ before the Compressor in the signal path. The equalizer has overlapping frequency selection on each band for total tonal control and shaping.
