Neve Genesys Black Recording Console

World Class Equipment

At the center of the studio sits a Neve Genesys Black Recording Console.  The console utilizes the vintage analog Neve sound that has shaped thousands of hit records over generations, while allowing engineers to control and recall analog settings through digital control.  This work flow creates efficiency for the artists and producer, and provides a more consistent sound from song to song.  There's a reason hit records are recorded in studios with Neve consoles.  It's just the magic they create.  

"Arch Audio has most of the most sought after gear there is"

- Chris Wallace

  Multi-Platinum Artist, Producer, Songwriter

The Mic Locker

Arch Audio has the most extensive, pro quality mic locker of any studio in the scenic city.  Pristine sound starts at the source.

Ethen Martin, Discusses the "Secret Sauce" Behind Arch Audio

The Telefunken U47 Tube Mic

Possibly the post revered microphone of all time, the Telefunken U47 stands among the best in the world.  Arch Audio is possibly the only studio in the city that has one in its very own mic collection.


Chandler Limited REDD Tube Mic

The Chandler Limited REDD microphone is one of the most unique  microphones in the Arch collection.  The technology hails from the EMI  circuitry of the recording consoles from the 1960's at Abbey Roads  studio in London.  Chandler Limited partnered with Abbey Roads to  produce a small collection of mics, preamps, and compressors from the  historic electronic age that produced some of the greatest recordings of  all times including the Beatles, Pink Floyd, etc.


It's tonal characteristics are very similar to the U47 but this mic includes a built in EMI REDD preamp in the microphone, a feature in no other mic in the industry can boast.


AKG C12VR Tube Mic

AKG created one of the most sought after mics from the 50's & 60's,  the C12. Only 2,500 were manufactured from 1953 to 1963 and has been  considered by some engineers to be the "holy grail" of microphones.    Handcrafted in Vienna, today's C12 VR uses the original 6072A vacuum  tube and dual-diaphragm design but incorporates an updated,  edge-terminated CK12 capsule and state-of-the-art componentry for lower  noise and distortion and reliable operation.


The Neumann U47 FET Microphone

The Neumann U47 FET; Arguably one of the best mics in history.  Arch Audio is one of the few IF not the only studio in Chattanooga that has one for clients to record on.

The Shure SM7B

The Shure SM7B, a mic made Iconic by Michael Jackson, when he used it on the Thriller album.

Royer 121 Ribbon Mic

 This week's Secret Sauce video features the Royer 121 Ribbon mic. Oh  Yea!  This classy mic is world renown.  Take a look at the video and  schedule a session to record through it! 

Neumann U87 Condenser Microphone

The Neumann U87 microphone is most likely the most used microphone in the world.  It has been used on countless records in every genre.  Arch Audio has 3 for you to use when you record with us!

Telefunken AK-47 Tube Microphone

The Telefunken AK47 is a go to for all the Engineers at Arch Audio. It's airy high end and warm low end make it perfect for vocals in almost every occasion. 

Interesting note about this particular mic...(it is NOT a clone); This is the ONLY orange AK-47 in the world. It was painted orange when Telefunken was trying to determine the color of the mic. When they decided to go with black, this mic was sold to a studio in LA, and it made its way to Arch Audio...


Sennheiser 421 Dynamic Mic

The Sennheiser Dynamic mic is one of the most used mics in studios around the world.  Used on toms, horns, etc, it is a "go to" in almost every session.


Telefunken ELAM 260 Tube Mic

The Telefunken ELAM 260 Tube Mics are among the best in our locker.  Ethen discusses them in detail in this video.  We used them in almost every session...


Unboxing a Stereo Pair of Coles 4038 Ribbon Mics

The Coles 4038 was created in 1952 and remains largely unchanged to this day.  It's made it's way into studio history as one of the most used studio mics in the world.
