Housed in the former diesel tank of the ship, the control room is the beating heart of the studio. Front & centre is the Calrec S2 48 channel mixing console, powering ATC SCM45a monitors via a wealth of world-class outboard gear. 64 inputs are available to Pro Tools on the Mac Studio, or you can choose to base your session around our Otari 24 track tape machine - or use a hybrid setup for the best of both worlds. Generous portholes allow natural light into the room, and a large window affords communication with the live room.
