Goldcrest Post London: Theatre 2 - Mixing & ADR

Built in 2010, Theatre 2 has been designed and constructed by Munro Acoustics and is a world class dedicated ADR theatre which is completely isolated and floated, making it probably the quietest ADR stage in London.

A large recording space, clear projection, a wide selection of top of the range microphones and comfortable surroundings make it an ideal room for any type of voice recording from single artist to large crowds.  We have a selection of quality microphone preamps from Focusrite, Millennia and Neve and these are at the front end of a high quality recording chain with a 16 fader DFC Gemini at its heart.

ISDN (Dolby Fax or APT), iChat/Polycom, Phone Patch, Skype and Source Connect are also available.

Client Feedback

"My working experience with Soho's Goldcrest Post began several years ago, and it has given me enormous personal and professional satisfaction. From 'The Tudors' into 'The Borgias' and 'Camelot', there was always a great attention to efficiency, concern for the client and their projects, and the highest level of technical performance. This extends from the runners, through its administrative brain, and into the heart of the place: its theaters, engineers and operators.
 
I miss Goldcrest, the people and the facility, when working somewhere else and I count the days until another job brings me back.  It's the jewel of Soho."

 - Dale Sheldrake, Supervising ADR Editor, 'The Tudors', 'The Borgias', and 'Camelot'

"Thank you so very much for all the marvelous work you've done on the past series.  Anvil have been absolutely delighted with the quality of the ADR that you've recorded...... These days good ADR is a rare thing, when money rather that quality rules, and all the care you've taken has been gratefully received!  I'd like to think, that despite my occasional memory lapses, we've had great fun in the midst of acres of cues!"
Sarah Morton, Dialogue Editor, 'Lewis VI'
