Driven by a need to capture film soundtracks performed by their newly instituted Alumni Session Orchestra, Guildhall School of Music & Drama recently added 20 AUDIX A231 large diaphragm condenser microphones and a DP5A five-piece professional drum microphone kit to their production arsenal.
Guildhall School of Music & Drama is a vibrant, international community of musicians, actors and production artists in the heart of the City of London. Established in 1880 and ranked number one in Arts, Drama & Music by the 2024 Complete University Guide, the school offers training in all aspects of classical music and jazz along with drama and production arts.
Impressed by their great sound, simplicity, utility, and build quality, Guildhall soon found the AUDIX microphones to be their go-to choice for everything from student projects and recitals to groundbreaking live Dolby Atmos capture. Former Prince FOH engineer and now Guildhall’s head of recording and AV, Professor Julian Hepple, and audio operations manager, Mimi Hemchaoui describe how they came to choose AUDIX microphones and the ways they’ve become central to nearly everything they do.
