A Piece of Music History

The Basement Studio

Home of the Legendary Raindirk Series III

At the heart of The Basement Studio sits a rare treasure: a vintage Raindirk Series III mixing console from the 1970s — the same console that defined the golden age of rock and roll at Olympic Studios, London.

The Sound

Renowned for its warm, British tone with high-quality, low-noise microphone preamps and musical EQs. Often compared to vintage Neve consoles, yet with its own unmistakable sonic character that made countless hit records.

The Design

A modular, transformer-balanced, split-console design with separate track-laying and remix modes, allowing for a total of 62 inputs. Pure analog warmth that digital simply cannot replicate.
