The Equipment Waiver

Read before you book. This protects both of us.

A full broadcast kit is already in the room, powered and patched before you arrive. You are not hiring a list of boxes, you are walking into a room that is ready to record. Every booking is signed off with an Equipment Use Waiver, and a Junior Studio Operator inspects and photographs the kit with you at both ends of the day.

    How it works

    Why Somerset West

    Flying a crew in from the Cape Town CBD costs time and money before a single word is recorded. We sit in the Helderberg, minutes from the wine estates, with the same professional kit at a working rate.

    Corporate teams record their learning and development content here. Founders record their podcasts here. You get a proper studio without the city-centre overheads, an overnight kitchen for when the day runs long, and a quiet car park while you work.
