A Room of Legend

The flagship room of Power Station is the most famous recording space in New York City, Studio A provides a spacious tracking room featuring an innovative and flexible system of isolation that offers musicians excellent sight lines.

The signature sound of Studio A is unmistakeable and has graced countless legendary recordings since it’s doors opened. From rock bands to 60 piece orchestras, all the way to Broadway cast albums and beyond, this room has seen it all.

Studio A is centered around a classic 40-input Neve 8088 console, the last of its kind produced by Neve. It was custom built for Power Station Studios and provides impeccable vintage analog tone with the flexibility in routing needed for modern recording sessions.
