The arsenal
The equipment at Weddington Studios
Every room runs the same pro vocal chain: a Neve 1073 preamp into a Tube-Tech CL1B tube compressor. The Phantom adds the Sony C800G, the mic behind half the vocal records on your playlist. Here is everything, room by room.

Gear questions
Which room has the Sony C800G?+
The Phantom. It is the only room with the C800G, and you can add it to any Phantom session. Every other room runs the Neumann U87 as its standard mic.
Is the vocal chain the same in every room?+
Yes. All four rooms run a Neve 1073LB preamp into a Tube-Tech CL1B tube compressor with Pro Tools 2024. You pick a room for the vibe and the mic, not the quality.
What plugins are installed?+
The full suite in every room: Waves Mercury and SSL, FabFilter Pro, SoundToys, Antares Auto-Tune Unlimited, Plugin Alliance, Valhalla, Melodyne, VocAlign, and more.
