Wrenn House Studios adds API 1608
From the its instigation, Wrenn House Studios has regarded itself ‘API House’, with racks of API processors, 7600 channel strips, an 8200 summing mixer, 7800 master module and two API 2500 stereo compressors. Now the facility has complemented its collection of API outboard with a 16-channel 1608 console.
‘Clay and I have been working with music our whole lives,’ says John Morton, Wrenn House chief engineer and partner with owner Clayton Wrenn. ‘Years ago, I had the opportunity to hear an API preamp in an equipment demo, and I was struck by how different it sounded compared to everything else. It had a sonic quality that’s hard to describe – a richness and fullness. I knew it was what I was after.’
The Texas studio’s search for an analogue console led to the 1608. With news of the latest API gear spreading, local acts and other production facilities are seeking to make their recordings at Wrenn House.
‘There was clearly some pent-up demand for an API rig in Houston,’ Morton says. ‘Folks go to Austin when they want the API sound. As far as I know, we are the only API 1608 shop south of Austin at this time. I anticipate a lot of interest from local music and video producers. API has never let us down.’
