All the small practice rooms plus the Amplified Music Room, Recording Room and Live Room have Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB soundcards and microphones. Please see our demo video of how you can use soundcards for making recordings or video calls (by plugging your using your own laptop for instance).

Dante networked audio is available throughout the building as described in our How to use Dante video. This technology can be used for many purposes such as studio recordings of music, band practices across several rooms, live streaming and podcasts.
