EQUIPMENT
Behind every great live recording are experienced ears and fine-tuned equipment. The Hanger Hill rig is based around the world's quietest preamplifiers and a carefully chosen selection of the finest microphones - the same as those found in the UK's top recording studios - to ensure the greatest level of transparency between musician and listener, blended with the colours that have come to be signature in British recording.
