Distillery II

This is Distillery II – A space for creation and innovation, complete with state of the art and vintage equipment for music, film, and TV services.

Situated midway between Bristol and Bath lies Distillery II-a high-tech, top-spec studio. Designed for the artist, musician producer or performer. Distillery II offers a fully rigged, wholly private, entirely adaptive environment in which creatives can rehearse, record, perform and produce.

Control Room

The perfect combination of vintage and modern equipment set in a sonically pleasing room that also offers a spacious and comfortable working environment. 

The centre piece, The Rupert Neve Designs console, is only one of few currently installed in the United Kingdom. This is perfectly complimented by a more compact 1970’s ex-broadcast Neve 53 series. A fine selection of permanently installed outboard dynamics, equalisers and effects units along with mobile rack options provide an endless array of tonal possibilities. 

A vast glass frontage provides a panoramic line of sight into the live performance space allowing seamless communication and visual contact between the rooms. 

Our PMC 8-2 XBD mid-field speakers have been impressively soffit mounted within the glass, offering crucial monitoring of the highest quality. 

See equipment list for further details.
