Our Estudio

In our ZIPSPOTS Studios, we utilize state-of-the-art production equipment and software. The microphone is

the most important element in the equipment and software chain. In our studio, we use the very high quality

Audio-Technica AT4047 and Rode NT mics as well Sennheiser and Shure. To complement the voice, we lightly process audio with a Symetrix 528E and and Aphex 204 Aural Exciter.  Audio is recorded and reproduced

with one of the best professional sound cards in the industry, the LynxOne. Audio recording, playback and distribution is mixed with the 16 Channel Allen & Heath MixWizard 16:2. Sound quality is monitored with Tannoy Reveal Active Nearfield monitors. We record and mix on-screen with Adobe Audition 1.5. Yes we have

Pro-Tools but for radio production, we still prefer Adobe 1.5.

Once a session is recorded and mixed, the 32 bit audio .WAV file is converted to a Fraunhofer MP3 file at a

CBR of 256 kBit/s at 44,100 hz stereo. (Higher or lower bitrates or formats such as AIF 48k are also

provided to TV production clients).
