Unique Capabilities in Recording
Leaders in Binaural Recording
We use the Neumann head named Hermann to capture a "You Are There" listening experience. Perfect for headphone listening. And everyone listens to headphones these days.
Awarded Tube and Tape Supremo in 2014, 2015, 2017 and again in 2019!
We use vacuum tube equipment such as the ANALOGUETUBE AT-3 (SOHO, London) mic preamp to offer a sparkle-y and beautifully liquid tone to your recordings.
Advantages of working with HudSonic
House of Nagra and SADiE
Nagra-Kudelski and its successor,
Audio-Technology Switzerland, make highly desirable recorders. We have owned one of every machine made since 1981.
We use the Nagra Seven. The British music editor SADiE v. 6.1 from PrismSound has been our companion for many decades.
We rely on MAGIX Sequoia editor for multi-track mixing and editing.
Sonosax provides the High Dynamic Range at 135dB.
Sonosax (Swiss) supplies mind blowing sound recorders and mic preamplifiers. Here we use the Sonosax SX-R4+ recorder,
and the SX-AD8+ eight channel mic amp and a/d converter.
Rens Heijnis Custom Built
The Dutch electronics genius, Rens Heijnis, builds incredible sounding microphones and preamps. His 60 volt designs offer more nuance, more detail, more dynamics, and better defined bass in our recordings. We run his tube microphones, his custom modified Bruel & Kjaer mics, as well as his custom modified Schoeps microphones.
We know all the best locations to record in.
Great musicianship and innovative programming sound best in the best halls. We know all of them and have business relationships with all the managers.
