The Mobile Unit at GB’s Juke Joint
GB's Juke Joint is much more than just a recording studio complex in Long Island City – they've got many years of experience recording live shows all over New York. To up their mobile recording game, they designed this amazing mobile rig made up of a scalable analog Rupert Neve Designs front-end (capable of over 96 channels!) coupled with a robust Dante network for simplicity, adaptability, and performance.
Watch as their in-house engineer / producer Colin Mohnacs talks us through the genesis of this amazing mobile unit.
