Our Gear
Professional recording equipment we bring to every session. No consumer-grade shortcuts.
Every session gets the same professional gear. We don't cut corners with budget equipment or consumer interfaces. This is the rig we load up and bring to your location, whether it's a garage in Las Cruces or a venue in Albuquerque.
Interfaces
Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 (3rd Gen)
18-in/20-out USB interface. The backbone of our mobile rig. Clean preamps, solid conversion, reliable drivers.
Behringer ADA8200
8-channel ADAT preamp. Expands our channel count to 26 inputs when we need full band coverage.
Microphones
Shure SM7B
Dynamic broadcast mic. Vocals, guitar cabs, snare. Flat response with a presence boost that cuts through a mix.
Shure SM58
The workhorse vocal mic. Nearly indestructible. Sounds good on everything from vocals to guitar amps.
Shure SM57
Instrument mic standard. Snare drums, guitar cabinets, horns. If it makes sound, an SM57 can capture it.
Shure Beta 52A
Kick drum mic. Tight low end with enough click to cut through dense mixes.
Shure Beta 91A
Boundary kick mic. Sits inside the kick drum for a punchy, focused sound. Often paired with the Beta 52A.
Shure PG DMK6
Drum mic kit. SM57 for snare and toms, Beta 52A for kick, plus overheads. Covers a full kit.
