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.

THE GEAR IS ONLY PART OF IT
Great equipment matters, but the most important thing is how it’s used. Sessions at Styles are relaxed, collaborative and focused on getting the best performance and finished track.
