Let‘s face it, it‘s hard not to feel short-changed when you show up at a full-service rehearsal studio to find their tried-and-trusted brand backline gear is coupled with a sub-par afterthought of a vocal PA, a mixed bag of no-name mics, mixers and speakers that will take you at least an hour to tweak together to an acceptable level–and all while the clock ticks away your cash …

However, not all rehearsal facilities are created equal. Highway Sound Studios in Queens, New York City, offers music rehearsal rooms, recording, rentals and showcasing facilities with a difference–their Electro-Voice PA systems were spec‘d with the same uncompromising attention to detail as their premium quality backline inventory. The idea is simple: with high-performance EV equipment in the house, Highway Sound‘s customers can spend more time playing and less time fiddling with knobs.

“While a lot of other studios in the area focus on collecting half stack guitar amp rigs, we placed our priority firmly on good, clear-sounding PA systems,” says Jim Baron of Highway Sound Studios. “ Our EV-equipped rooms feature Zx5 mains and plenty of Zx1 monitors, all powered by Q66 amps, along with a pair of Sb122 subs and a complete compliment of EV vocal and instrument mics, including N/D967, N/D767A, N/D478, N/D868, RE410 and RE20 models. We’ve even got a vintage Fender combo amp with a classic EV Force 12” woofer in it! And, to complete the top-quality package, we have a Midas Venice 240 console in our “A” room.” This is professional quality equipment that reliably delivers warm, concert-quality audio, whatever the style, with all the headroom anyone will need.”
