Equipment

Studio SQ has been acclaimed for not only having a large collection of top audio gear, but also having an extensive collection of classic instruments including guitars, bass guitars, amplifiers,synthesizers & keys, and percussion (see our list below).

Essentially, we have just about everything you might need to lay down your record. In fact, many of our clients simply show up with a few small accessories in hand. Mix this was our huge 1,000 square foot tracking room and you've got that classic SQ sound.

*NOTE: All of our instruments are available to our customers. We only ask that you respect the gear as if it were your own. Also, please double check ahead of time to make sure that a particular peice is available (our gear goes through routine maintenence and we want to ensure that it is in house for your session).
