What We Use forPerfect Sound

Highfield Studio pride ourselves on using the highest level of equipment available to us.

To get a more comprehensive idea of the gear found in Highfield Studio, please see below for our full recording studio equipment list. Every piece of equipment we own can be found here on this list, and we update it regularly for new additions (we’re always re-investing and evolving as a studio).

Our wide range of equipment covers all types of recordings, whether you’re looking for a vintage drum sound, or modern pop production we have you covered.  We hope this list gives you some clarification. If you like what you see, please get in touch to book in some studio time at Highfield.
