STUDIO OVERVIEW
In early 2006 TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik began a major expansion to their facility in South Windsor, CT. With the expansion came a new technical production lab and clean room for capsule and microphone assembly and new office and warehouse space.
The company also began the complex project of creating a state of the art Research, Test and Development Studio for use in developing new microphone technology. The new recording studio environment is also a major step forward in upgrading TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik's quality control, microphone design, and testing processes.
The studio is based around a modest sized control room situated directly next to the manufacturing and assembly laboratories. While the central location of the control room and isolation booth makes for a positive work flow between the assembly and testing technicians, audio tie lines connect the main assembly area to the control room as well.
This main assembly area can also double as a full on sound stage as it has the massive dimensions of 49' x 52' with 35' ceilings. The space has been acoustically designed with non-parallel surfaces through out, complete with a 625 sq. foot dance floor. In addition, there is a ground level truck loading bay into which a full on semi-trailer can be backed and unloaded (in case someone decides to drop off a full sound reinforcement system, piano, etc.).
The studio houses both new and vintage equipment from the former Talcott Mountain Studio facility, originally located in Simsbury, CT, as well as its new center piece, the API 1608 console, along with Pro Tools HD and a selection of excellent nearfield monitoring.
In addition to a veritable cornucopia of hardware from the ages, the studio also employs TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik's rather extensive collection of benchmark vintage microphones from which historic accuracy for the company's Diamond Series is derived.
TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik is not your typical "for rent" sound hotel; the facility offers an extensive selection of premium microphones and mic pres that can suit the needs of any project. The facility also provides the resources to research and develop our different microphone lines that help us ensure that our products stand as a benchmark for quality and excellence. By having both state of the art and vintage outboard pre-amps and processing gear, the development team at TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik is able to keep in step with the needs and desires of the modern recordists.
Microphones
The major element that sets TELEFUNKEN Studios apart from the rest of the recording studios in New England is the vast collection of both historic and newly manufactured microphones. Not only are the entire line of TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik microphones available for use, a massive collection of original European Neumann, AKG, Geffell, Schoeps and TELEFUNKEN tube microphones are available along side the latest and greatest from manufacturers like Royer, Brauner, BeezNeez, Shure, Audio Technica, Electro-Voice, Sennhieser, Bock Audio and many others including one off and custom pieces from the Custom Shop.
The control room and isolation booth at TELEFUNKEN Studios are designed with the premier vocalist in mind. Choose between ALL the classics including the U47, C12, ELA M 251, U67, M49, etc.: the list is endless.
