Studio Gear
Outboard Equipment: Our sessions are carefully monitored and tracked using a sophisticated 32-channel digital mixer from Presonus. This setup, designed for high versatility, allows us to record various instruments at once — a feature particularly beneficial for bands. Should you require any instruments, we also provide an assortment for rent to accommodate your needs during the session.
Microphones: At Play Talk Studios, we value quality and consistency in capturing vocals, which is why we use the industry’s gold-standard Neumann U-87 microphone. But our mic locker goes beyond that, housing a diverse collection suited for any sound objective or recording context. Our dedicated in-house engineer is always ready to walk you through our selection, ensuring you find the right microphone that resonates with your unique sound.
Instruments: If you require instruments for your session, we have a variety available for rent. Our current roster includes the Mitchell T333CE-BST Solid Top Acoustic-Electric Guitar, the Fender Player Stratocaster Black Solid Body Electric Guitar, the Roland JD-XI, and the Yamaha XF6 keyboard. We’re also adding drums to our rental lineup soon. Please remember to reserve and rent your desired instrument during the checkout process prior to your session.
