The Gear
RadHaus uses Yamaha TF series digital mixers and stage boxes across a digital audio network, which allow us to create clean multi-track recordings over long distances, and send a great broadcast of your performance or event to video and audio feeds. And for audiophiles, we offer custom binaural recording and mastering, designed by our own LFF and unique to RadHaus.
Our mic locker includes outstanding vocal tube microphones from Peluso Microphone Lab, boutique large diaphragm condensers from Roswell Pro Audio, and an array of shotguns, pencil mics, headset, and dynamic mics from Miktek, Sennheiser, DPA, Electro-Voice, and Shure, as well as our own custom binaural head and custom large diaphragm condensers.
Our cameras are from Canon and Blackmagic Design, and are all 4K capable or better. We use Panasonic Lumix and Canon lenses.
We have even gone above and beyond with our mic stands — we use Triad Orbit stands that, while more expensive than standard stands, suit the needs of the studio and our artists amazingly well. They’re heavier and sturdier, and with quick-release heads and advanced flexibility, making stage setup faster and more reliable.
The Mobile Studio
Whatever RadHaus can do at a studio or venue, we can do pretty much anywhere — all of our gear is portable, and as long as we have access to sufficient electrical power, we can bring multiple cameras and recording devices for all kinds of productions, from live concerts to session recording to music videos, corporate events and beyond. We can broadcast live streams from any location with sufficient broadband internet.
The same gear we use in the studio goes on the road with us: cameras from Canon and BlackMagic Design, an array of studio and stage microphones, and Yamaha TF-series mixers with Yamaha Tio stage boxes.
We also offer live sound for outdoor events, with multiple high-powered speakers and stage monitors, microphones, and more.
