Recording room and direction
Caliber Club 2.0 was planned and built in spring 2016 by the Schornoz brothers. The recording studio of just 60 m2 is designed as a hybrid studio, the focus being on the connection and use of high-quality analogue and digital technology.
Recording room and control room are located in a cosy wooden building with daylight irradiation. The studio is easily accessible by public transport. There are also numerous parking spaces around the building.
Additional isolation work was carried out in summer 2019. Recording room 2 was completely expanded. In 2011, Julien Menth joined as an additional producer.
