Own a piece of record-making history!
For thirty-five years, Schnee Studio was recognized as one of the best recording studios in Los Angeles.
In addition to recording dozens of gold and platinum records, the studio was home to multiple Grammy Award Winning and nominated albums, including several in the Best Engineered Category.
Bill Schnee, the legendary engineer who designed and built the studio, started his career learning on Three Dog Night but went on to make history by recording all four Beatles by age 26, a feat that few can claim. His other notable projects include the Sheffield Labs Direct-to-Disc projects, Steely Dan's Aja, Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You, and many, many more. This culminated in him ultimately receiving 135 gold and platinum records. In his constant pursuit of great-sounding recordings, he has been personally nominated 11 times for the Best Engineered Grammy. That same desire had him focus his utmost attention to detail when designing the electronics of the console that would define his studio's sound.
Schnee Studio Console Modules

Now, you can experience the pure sound of the Schnee console with a pair of the original modules, meticulously packaged, recapped, and ready to record. These modules, offered for sale by Teegarden Audio, embody Bill's belief that in analog electronics, less is more. With only two amplifiers in and out and an extra amplifier added in for higher gain requirements, these modules stand out from the rest. Unlike Neves, the console was single-ended, resulting in a unique sound profile. With no transformers in the modules other than the mic preamp and minimal electronics of the highest order, these modules deliver the ultra-clean, uncolored, and transparent sound Schnee Studio was known for.
