Mwnci Studios (pronounced Monkey) is a purpose built residential recording studio set in stunning woodland grounds in the heart of West Wales. We specialise in live recording and mixing.
New Grand Piano - Grotrian Steinweg Concerto G-192
Custom built hybrid recording setup featuring x20 AML ez1073 (Neve) preamp EQ’s into x20 ez52F50 diode bridge compressors for unparalleled control and fidelity. The system was hand built in-house.
'Mwnci should be added to the list of great British residential recording studios. If you can't make a good record here it won't be the studio that's at fault. Excellent sounding live rooms, great monitoring and great mic preamps. Location and accommodation are the cherries on the cake. Highly recommended."

"Great place to record. The recording room sounds well balanced and has a great air to it. Not too live - not too dead!
Lovin the ATCs in the control room and nice analogue mic pre amps to get everything sounding sweet...
All in all a very rewarding experience. Great countryside to charge up the inspiration batteries."⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
We have a great selection of microphones from Neumann, Royer, MP, AKG, Sennheiser and many more.
Preamps from Neve, AML, Hairball.
"Absolutely loved working here, beautiful remote location, fantastic studio and engineer would 100% come back 👍🏽👍🏽." ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
