MOON MUSIC STUDIO A

The 80m² live room is at the heart of Studio A. With a high ceiling, mostly wooden surfaces and a lively natural response, it is designed to bring out the best of acoustic instruments. The room is large enough to record a full band at once, and is suited for all kind productions — from jazz ensembles and indie bands to full drum kits and heavy guitars.

The room has character, but it doesn't lock you into one sound. A large selection of movable absorption panels and carefully placed room microphones allows us to shape the acoustics from tight and controlled to open, spacious and natural. This gives us the flexibility to capture anything from a dry, punchy drum sound to a huge, room-filling performance.
An iso booth provides a separate space for vocals, upright bass, guitar and other instruments when isolation is needed.

Our grand piano is a Gotrian-Steinweg from 1865, which has just been fully restored in 2024. The sound is dark and warm and has a nice vintage feel to it. It's perfect for jazz recording and can be heard on many of our productons. For upright piano we have a beautiful old Hiller, which has lots of character and sounds especially beautiful when played with felt over the strings. Other keys include our C3 Hammond with Leslie, Wurlitzer 200A, Rhodes 73 and an original Minimoog.

The mic selection is something we are truly proud of. With over 120 mics in our locker, including Neumann tube mics and rare RCA ribbon mics, we always have the right tool for the job. With both modern and vintage options, we can really pick something that suits your voice or instrument, and the production style of the music.
