The Centrepiece

1973 Neve 8068

Fully restored and immaculately maintained, our 1973 Neve 8068 console is the beating heart of Salvation Studios. Built in the golden era of British audio engineering, every one of its modules has been serviced and optimised to perform at its absolute peak. 'We pushed up the faders on the immaculate Neve 8068 and it was all there' — Mike Horner (Hot Chip, Placebo, Jess Glynne).

ATC Monitors

Our ATC SCM200ASL monitors are soffit-mounted in a room purpose-built for them by world-renowned acoustician John Flynn — the man who designed the control rooms at both Olympic and Abbey Road Studios. The result is a monitoring environment of almost surgical precision, allowing engineers to hear every detail of a recording with total confidence.
