Cambridge, UK: Prism Sound, manufacturer of premium-quality interfaces and converters for the recording and broadcast markets, has supplied three of its
Award-winning ADA-8XR multichannel converters to Gospel Oak Studio, a new private recording facility near Birmingham. These were installed by the company's new dealer Kazbar Systems.

Owned by musician and composer John Kelly and located in a converted barn in the grounds of his home, Gospel Oak Studio has been equipped to the highest specification. Alongside the Prism Sound converters the equipment list also includes a Solid State Logic AWS900 console, Focal and Genelec monitoring and Logic with a vast array of plug-ins.
Kelly, who until recently was running highly successful construction and development companies, says: "I'm a reasonable musician with some decent playing and writing experience but because of my other business interests I haven't always had the time to fully explore music properly. However, now that I've stepped back from the day to day management of my companies, I have found myself with time to do my own thing - namely writing and composing, hence the decision to build the studio."
Kelly's collaborators in the studio project are producer Barry Bayliss, who has worked with artists such as Carlito, The Satin Dolls and Coppernine. The latter went on to support The Cranberries at the NEC, and studio manager/sound engineer Alfie Manhaw.
"Barry and I have been friends for years, so he was the obvious person to turn to for help with setting up the studio," Kelly says. "Barry is currently producing his own music with James Mitton-Wade (aka Carlito) in their own small studio. They produce a pretty good sound but Barry felt that an acoustically better studio and higher quality gear would help them to obtain a better mix with greater degrees of accuracy due to the mixing environment. Therefore he basically specified all of the equipment that he would have if he could, pretty much no holds barred and all budgets blown."
