Peal Sound - Mobile Studio
Peal Sound Mobile is fully equipped for audio pre-production, recording and editing live shows. We specialise in radio comedy and jazz music. We offer full 48 track recording.
It's effectively a mobile "control room" - we can travel anywhere and turn a venue into a recording studio.
The van is a Renault Master “LoLoader” conversion. This means you can step in an out the back door easily (no slippery steps). The internal work space is 4.5m long and 2m wide so there’s plenty of room for people in the back. There are two large double glazed windows for lots of natural light and fresh air.
We have 150 metres of fibre optic cable which runs between stage and the van, providing 48 mic lines and 24 returns. The fibre also carries video camera feeds and a gigabit network. This enables sounds sourced from the van to be triggered from stage using keypads, push buttons or midi keyboards.
Sound FX / music cues etc. are played in from SpotOn which runs on a PC.
We have every major sound fx library, and with “Logic” I can make up music on the spot if required.
