Saal3 is part of the Funkhaus Nalepastrasse recording complex, a unique broadcasting facility built in Berlin in 1956.

This particular room was designed to host chamber music groups and ensembles of any size and turns almost any imaginable source into a wonderful recording.

The studio is featuring a main recording room of 140 m2, a small recording room of 26 m2 and a mixing room of 30 m2. Additionally, the original Funkhaus reverb chamber can be used. An audio workshop provides the tools to repair and fix instruments, recording gear or the old furniture on site.

We designed the workflow in Saal3 around a Berlin made, fully modular custom Neumann console, which can handle up to 48 inputs. The board feeds a 8-track 1“ studer a80, also driving a parallel digital rig of 56 channels I/O, using the best microphones to feed them.

You may choose between different esoteric microphone pre-amplifiers, lots of different EMT reverbs, a range of wonderful upright pianos such as a custom made giant piano called the Kavins m450 (yes, it really is 15 feet high). Choose from all types of tube amps, tape delays, guitars and synthesiser classics such as the Funkhaus made Subharchord alongside all type of other analog synths. If you are looking for something without a cord, you should try our concert harmoniums or simply record that Glass Armonica.
