EQUIPMENT

ANALOG

We use a totally analog signal path but do not usually record to tape (but are happy to discuss the possibilities). Our converters are the latest AVID HD I/O capable of a maximum resolution of 32Bit/192KHz.  

The full list of equipment is listed below and many of the individual pieces are photographed and detailed in Simon's blog.
