123 Studios features a spacious live room, a large control room with fully soundproofed programming and writing rooms.

The main studio makes use of a great selection of high end preamps, along with a mix of vintage and modern microphones to record to the very highest standard. The computer set up is also second to none, with a state-of-the-art HDX rig, running Pro Tools 10 on an 8 core mac pro with 32 channels of the new Avid HD I/O converters.

123 has a choice of summing and desk options for recording and mixing. An SSL X-desk and X-panda gives up to 40 channels of the more modern/clean SSL sound. The all-valve "Fat Bustard" offers 14 channels of pure tube bliss. It is also possible to insert all the Neve and API clones across any of the channels for that vintage transformer saturation sound. It's modern studio set up that is extremely simple to use. 

The range of 500 pre amps can now be moved from the rack in the control rool to the rack in the live room to insure the highest signal path quality. A technique for getting the best possible signal from the microphone to the recording source with minimal loss.

All the studios XLR leads are either Mogami, Canare, Belkin or handmade quad cores cable made with the highest spec componants as we consider every step of the signal path as being vital.

The programming and writing rooms are all tie-lined to the impressive acoustics of the main room.

The live room acoustics are easliy changed by an adjustable ceiling drop to cater for the type of room sound needed (up to 5 metres high). The mix room was purpose-buiit with minimal parallel surfaces and Auralex foam for optimum monitoring.

There is a large selection of backline available for use at no extra cost. Including many vintage and modern guitars, basses and amps as well as many keybaords including a lovely sounding Piano a Fender Rhodes, Juno 60, Korg, Jupiter 6 , and much more. 

The studios are available for hire at flexible and affordable rates.
