20 Consoles for 20 London Recording Studios

In 2013 we have bolstered our offering of London recording studios with another seven terrific rooms. We’ve got everything covered in the capital – studios North, East, South and West for all projects and budgets.

Of course with all of our many recording studios in London comes a fantastic array of recording and mixing consoles: the highest-end Neve and SSL desks; rare, vintage boards with rich histories of their own; as well as some great desks for writing and smaller scale projects, such as the acclaimed Audient series of consoles.

Here we are giving you a rundown of 20 different consoles we provide across 20 London recording studios…

123 Studios in Shoreditch, London offers this SSL X desk with the SSL X-panda desk expansion.

The Bridge Writing Studio in London, SE1 boasts this great Audient ASP4816 console in its luxurious control room.

We have an Audient Zen 16MPMF with Mic Pre’s and moving faders in The Bunker programming studio in London’s Bermondsey. A great little desk for the smaller space.

There is another Audient Zen 16MPMF in The Cabin writing and recording studio in North London (Kings Cross).

This SSL 4056G+ console in The Engine Room mixing studio in London used to live at the legendary but now defunct Olympic Studios.

This is the Neve 5305 24 Channel console based at Perry Vale Studios in South East London. Hard to come by these days…

Producer Ben Hillier picked up this rare EMT A100 30 Channel desk in Germany and drove it back to The Pool recording studio in London where it now resides.

Legendary producer Hugh Padgham has long been associated with SSL, so it makes perfect sense for this beautiful SSL 4064G+ 64 channel console to live at his Sofa Sound recording studio in West London.

The less common SSL 4044 E Series console at Soho Sound Kitchen, a new 5.1 recording studio based in Kings Cross, London.

The original Miloco studio in Hoxton, The Square has had many desks over the years. It currently houses one of the early Olympic Studios SSL G Series desks.

A real gem – the vintage Neve 8026 console at producer Craig silvey’s Toast Studios in Ladbroke Grove, West London. It contains 24 vintage Neve Mic Pre’s/EQs and has recorded the likes of Nirvana, Neil Young and REM in its long history.

They pop up all over Miloco’s London recording studios, mainly because they are so darn popular! Here’s another SSL 4048 G Series console with G+ computer which lives at Westpoint Studios in West London.

Lastly, something completely different – the Digidesign C24 Control Surface at The Yard, a specialist Live Mixing Studio in Highbury run in partnership between Miloco and DMZ Live.
