Is the space suitable for audio recording?

We've installed 12 x Class A sound panels on the ceiling as well as floor to ceiling curtains. Together these make the space suitable for recording audio.
However, there is a music studio in the building, and on occasion drums can be heard faintly. Please enquire, and we will do what we can to help you.

Where are you located?

Meriton Foundry, Meriton Street, Bristol, BS2 0SZ. It's a orange painted warehouse, with plenty of parking. If you've driven to the National Grid, you're on the wrong street!

The space is 5.69 metres x 2.96 metres.
The ceiling height is 3.08 metres.
Floor space is 180 square foot (or 17 metres squared).

A full list of equipment available for hire / use can be found on the homepage of this site, under 'Pricing'.

What power sockets do you have available?

Do we need to know how to use the equipment before hiring?

The base setup of the studio, is a well lit continuous lighting cove, and a key light for a subject. If you require anything beyond that, you must have someone there that has some technical knowledge on how to work with lighting. We can provide a technician who can help throughout the day. This can be booked / priced upon request.

We have a large item we'd like to bring, is this possible?

There's a large shutter for unloading into the building. The hallways around the studio are a little narrow, so please enquire if you wish to bring something into the studio that is larger (of course bear in mind it's a small studio anyway!).
