The Wysing Polyphonic Studio was established in 2017 to support new music and sonic works to be created at Wysing Arts Centre. The studio emerged from Wysing’s annual festival of art and experimental music which has been operating since 2010, and it is the HQ of the Wysing Polyphonic record label. The festival and artistic team at Wysing is female led and the studio is managed by majority female technical staff. The studio, festival and label have been established to create a safe space for music and sonic production, within an atmosphere of inclusion and support. 

The Wysing Polyphonic Studio has been designed with input from sound engineers and offers:

An enclosed, wooden, acoustically-treated Control Room (dims: l 3.3m x w 2.4m x h 2.4m). The control room features a Midas M32 digital mixing desk, an iMac with Logic and Ableton and two sets of monitors calibrated for the room through an KRK Ergo system. The room also includes a sofa and tea/coffee making facilities

A separate, enclosed, wooden acoustically-treated Vocal Booth (dims: l 2.3m x w 2.4m x h 2.4m). We have a range of microphones available including an SE Electronics Z5600a II Condenser Microphone, a Sennheiser e609, Shure SM7Bs and Shure SM57s. 

Additional facilities include:

A connected live room (dims: 37.5 square metres) with natural daylight that can accommodate larger set-ups and which includes a basic backline.
