Purple Sound Recording Studios uses high quality professional equipment, ensuring that you get professional results.
Console and Mic PresAt the helm of the studio is the Mackie D8B 72 Input Console and RME interface. Feeding the console are TLAudio Classic Series Mic Pre's and compressors all with valve signal paths to ensure your recordings have that "sounds like a real record" touch.
High end TLAudio Classic gear is considered one of the boutique brands of audio equipment. Don Bartley (former mastering engineer of Studios 301, and responsible for the sounds you hear on many of Australia's charts hits) swears by his TLAudio gear. So you know you are getting the best of the best.
MicrophonesOur mic collection is constantly growing. Here's the current list of beauties we have:
Cabling - The unseen heroThe cabling and multicores used throughout the studio are Mogami and Canare professional cabling. Audio professionals know the importance of high quality cabling when it comes to achieving professional results.
We have a total of 24 balanced channels of cable runs between the studio and control room with another 36 currently being installed. That means up to 60 microphones for recording, should any of your recording projects require that many mics.
Most sessions would never need that many mics, but we thought we'd cater for it just in case.
Each area of the studio has it's own 12 input patch facility with dedicated headphones output.
There are also midi lines between the studio and control room for keyboards, drum triggers or anything else midi related.
A bit of trivia: The multicore used between the studio and the control room is the actual cable used in the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

Studio Acoustics and ConstructionAll walls are double studded, isolated and treated with acoustic insulation. Door entries are double solid core doors, and the viewing window is double isolated saftey glass angled to enhance the acoustics of the rooms and to reduce reflections.
Professional diffusion and absorbtion panels by Auralex are used throughout the studio.
Some more trivia: The acoustic panels are a deep purple colour; this is where the studio got its name.
