The four studios are coming along nicely. Particularly impressed by the old kitchen which is going to be amazing!

Hello strangers! We are thrilled that work has just begun on the SOTA building. We are due to become 4 studios with a new build studio, kitchen and bathroom in the garden. It’s going to be an amazing place. Watch this space! .

Hard to believe that an all original Neumann U67 from 1962 can actually look like it has never left the box. Truly unbelievable in Mint condition! James Brown can be included in the sale as he scares my kids when he screams. www.stateofthearkstudios.com/gearlist [email protected]

After much debate we have decided to part with our long body Neumann U48’s. Both are fitted with AC701 valves and have been with us for over 20 years. These look and sound a dream. If you know any interested buyers hook us up! These have been used on pretty much every record that has come out of SOTA for decades! www.stateofthearkstudios.com/gearlist.

We have these two vintage Neve 1073 modules in a delightful Vintage King rack for sale - pictured with a magazine to match their age! Lol. Contact the studio if you want to make them yours or check www.stateofthearkstudios.com/gearlist as we are adding phase two of the clearout!

We are thrilled to welcome the TMS London production team into the studio for the near future. We have exciting future plans to re-open in a different way. Watch this space!

It’s a very different looking studio today. Just releasing a load of new gear onto the gear list. Found an extra U87 and a GML 8200 etc that weren’t even on the list! Still amazing mics left U67, KM54a, AEA44c’s etc still available. Loads more guitars and amps coming on too! www.stateofthearkstudios.com/gearlist and e mails to [email protected] .
