Peal Sound Mobile
Peal Sound Mobile is fully equipped for pre-production, recording and editing live shows.
I specialise in radio comedy but with my background in music recording, I’m happy to work with bands too.
Here are the key features of the van.
*2 Yamaha DM1000 mixers with a digital stage box.
*Pro Tools for recording and editing.
*SpotOn for playing in FX cues.
*Backup recording to Nagra, SD card and Alesesis 24 track.
*Large selection of microphones.
*Plenty of space for producer and others.
*Two large double glazed windows for lots of natural light and fresh air when you want it, or blacked out for the actual recording.

For those who want more info, here’s some detailed spec.
It’s 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. Traditional mobiles have a lot of space dedicated to cabling, but with digital muticores, heavy space hungry cable drums are a thing of the past. I have 100 metres of digital snake which connects to a Yamaha SB-168ES stage box which provides 16 mic inputs and 8 line returns from the console (up to 64 inputs are available with extra units hired in). I also carry 50m 12 way analog multicore as backup. Sound FX are played in from SpotOn which runs on a Dell PC and has 4 stereo outputs via an Echo Layla sound card. Microphones include Shure SM58, AKG Blue Line hypercardiod and rifle condensers, Coles 4038 ribbons, AKG 426 stereo mic, Neuman U87, Audio Technica Stereo mic and a few more odd mics. My Mac laptop is fully loaded with every major sound fx library, a healthy selection of library music, and of course with “Logic” I can make up music on the spot if required.
It’s been going a year and I’ve been all over the UK. Highlights include:
“The National Theatre of Brent”
“John Richardson’s Edinburgh Fringe Show”
“I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue”
“The Museum of Curiosity”
