What has Marshall got to offer you?

The Marshall studio has an incredible Neve 8048 - a classic 70’s desk, that provides warmth, clarity and that sought-after Neve sound. Our desk has been heavily modified and customised for Marshall by Neve specialist Blake Devitt. Blake has been integral in ensuring that his modifications have raised the frequency response and attack whilst maintaining the desk’s iconic sound and warmth. This is the classic Neve desk, customised to meet modern standards whilst remaining sympathetic to what made the original console so special. Full details of the desk can be seen on our equipment list.

The attention to detail is remarkable and means that a large-scale classic Neve like this will elevate the quality of recordings to the highest level.

As well as the state-of-the-art desk we also offer a huge range of pro quality Microphones that go beyond the normal studio mic lists. We record through Focusrite RedNet A/D converters on to the latest version of Protools Ultimate, while numerous relay points mean you can record anywhere.

Blake has spent years modifying and producing numerous authentic vintage outboards that have bought this Neve desk into the modern day while keeping the beautiful vintage sound.
