Location: 12 Old Charlotte Hwy Suite 10, Asheville, NC
RadHaus Studios is a unique, Asheville based, audio and video recording studio and broadcast facility with a full studio complex and a fully featured mobile unit.
The RadHaus Studios squad is a very talented team of audio and video recording, mixing and mastering engineers, and highly experienced and capable videographers and camera operators. It’s an exciting group, offering commercial and audiophile recording, live broadcasts, music video creation, educational, and corporate projects. While we welcome people from all demographics, we intentionally focus on hiring and training women, female-identifying, and non-binary staff, who still represent less than 10% of the overall audio and video tech industries.
Whatever RadHaus can do at a studio or venue, we can do pretty much anywhere — all of our gear is portable, and as long as we have access to sufficient electrical power, we can bring multiple cameras and recording devices for all kinds of productions, from live concerts to session recording to music videos, corporate events and beyond. We can broadcast live streams from any location with sufficient broadband internet.
The same gear we use in the studio goes on the road with us: cameras from Canon and BlackMagic Design, an array of studio and stage microphones, and Yamaha TF-series mixers with Yamaha Tio stage boxes.
We also offer live sound for outdoor events, with multiple high-powered speakers and stage monitors, microphones, and more.
All studios claim to use “state of the art” gear — and the state of the art includes both current art and all that has gone before. Though we count on state-of-the-art equipment to achieve the best possible results, what sets us apart is our innovative thinking, our custom, one-of-kind gear, our audiophile approach to recording and mastering, and our constant drive to challenge the status quo through unique collaborations with all types of artists.
