Originally built in 1970 by Jimi Hendrix and designed by architect and acoustician John Storyk, Electric Lady Studios in New York City hardly needs an introduction. Vintage King Audio Co-Owner Mike Nehra recently worked with the legendary recording space on the commission and Premium Vintage King Service of a Neve 8078 recording console.
Electric Lady Studios has worked with Vintage King on a variety of recording equipment for the past four years. Over this time period, Studio Manager Lee Foster and Nehra developed a kinship that led to their search for a vintage Neve recording console. The process was kicked into full gear in October 2010 when Nehra found the exact console to meet the studio’s requests.
"Studio A is a classic live room and naturally asks for 'classic Neve’ on its own,” says Foster. “We wanted to make it whole and give our clients what they would expect inside Electric Lady’s flagship tracking room.”
Replacing an SSL J9000 (Electric Lady still has two other J9000s in operation), Electric Lady was understandably concerned with how quickly the Neve 8078 could be completely refurbished and installed in order to eliminate downtime. Nehra had Vintage King’s renowned tech department on the case immediately, who began an ambitious VK Premium Service straight away.
"In this day and age, most studios are moving forward to mix in the box and rely primarily on computers with their artists,” says Mike Nehra. “In Electric Lady’s case, they’re reviving history and breathing life into the premium, classic and sonic perfection of the Neve 8078. They challenged the industry standard and purchased the best that money can buy with this vintage desk. We can’t wait to hear the musical history the continue to make in Studio A.”
