Trident 68 Console

The heart of the studio — analogue mixing, routing and character.

A professional hybrid studio built around great sound, not just a long gear list.

Styles combines analogue equipment, modern digital recording and carefully chosen monitoring to give artists a flexible setup for recording, production and mixing.

At the heart of the studio is the Trident 68 console, supported by a range of Neve, SSL, API, Sound Skulptor, AML and other outboard equipment, alongside professional microphones and monitoring.
