Gear

Digital audio has made recording more convenient, affordable, and accessible than ever. But even though software has replaced expensive tape machines and mixing boards, there is still no substitute for high-quality microphones and pre-amps.

When you book a session at Streetlight Sound, you are using truly professional equipment, much of it hand-made in the US by boutique manufacturers. Streetlight Sound competes with the biggest studios in town, at a fraction of the cost!
