Mark Ronson Reveals ATC SCM25A PRO Set-up
MARK RONSON has installed a pair of ATC SCM25A PRO three-way compact active loudspeakers in his new Munro Acoustics- and Steve Durr-designed studio space at London’s Tileyard Studios complex. Inspired by a visit to a new
Nashville studio built for The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, Ronson recruited the studio
Midas/Klark Teknik, 10 of which he spent as Marketing Manager for both brands. Ferriday, who brings years of experience in the live sound production industry to the role of Cadac Brand Development Manager, has spent over 10 years with Midas/Klark Teknik in the same role. “Cadac is one of the
longest established and most respected brands in our industry,” said Ferriday, speaking on behalf of both men. “With the superb new digital CDC Four now shipping and the larger CDC Eight digital series consoles shipping imminently, there will be a considerable workload for us in putting in
place a gamut of initiatives and objectives, with the aim of achieving for Cadac the industry-leading position that these terrific new products potentially afford it. James and I are hitting the ground running.” Patrick Almond, who was
previously responsible for Cadac marketing, as Soundking Europe Marketing Manager, is now appointed Assistant General Manager for Studiomaster and Carlsbro, focusing on the re-establishment of the UK and Ireland sales and distribution of these brands and their marketing activities.

MILOCO HAS launched Toast Studios in west London. The new mixing studio is the reincarnation of two recording studios that producer Craig Silvey has worked in extensively during his career: The Garden Studios in Shoreditch, east London, where he worked between 2009 and 2012, and the original Toast Studios in California, which Silvey
founded. Both of these classic studios were renowned for their large and eclectic range of vintage equipment and much of this gear is now in use at ‘the new’ Toast – including a Neve 8026 console circa 1972. The new studio is split
between a large, day-lit control room and a good- sized recording booth.
