Utopia’s large live room

(40’W x 44’L x 32’H) offers the best of all worlds.

We have an API AXS Legacy recording console, arguably the best new recording console available.

The acoustically treated control room is a pleasure to work in for engineers, producers and artists alike.

Comfort and sight lines.

Our EMT 140 plate reverb, outboard gear, and microphone collection set Utopia Studios Bearsville atop the list of operating recording studios internationally.
