Top Gear to Expect When You Rent Music Studio London at Ten87

When you rent music studio London space, the equipment you find inside can shape your sound as much as your own creativity. At Ten87, we built our Tottenham complexes to give artists access to industry-leading gear the moment they walk in, no compromises, no last-minute rentals. Whether you’re booking a single writing session or setting up a long-term home for your next record, here’s a closer look at the standout kit that makes our studios a favourite for more than 150 resident and visiting artists.

Legendary Consoles and World-Class Outboard Gear

The heart of our flagship day-hire room, the club, is a vintage SSL E-Series console. Loved for its unmistakable warmth and punch, this large-format desk is integrated with modern recall systems, so you get classic analogue character without sacrificing today’s digital workflow.

Around the console, you’ll find a carefully curated collection of industry-leading outboard gear, compressors, EQs and preamps chosen for their colour and reliability. For producers and engineers, it means you can shape every detail of a track with tools trusted on countless hit records.

Iconic Keyboards and Classic Instruments

Our Studio B space is designed for intimate writing sessions and features a lineup of instruments that inspire at first touch:

• Roland Juno-106 – A vintage polysynth famous for lush pads and classic 80s bass lines.
• Rhodes Mk1 – The unmistakable electric piano that’s graced everything from jazz to hip-hop.
• Yamaha U3 Upright Piano – Renowned for its balanced tone and dynamic range, perfect for both solo performances and layered arrangements.

Whether you’re scoring a film, cutting a soul record or sketching new ideas, these instruments bring instant character and depth.

Monitoring and Acoustics You Can Trust

Great gear deserves an accurate listening environment. Every Ten87 room, from long-term studios at Markfield Road and High Cross to our day-hire spaces, features advanced acoustic design, precision monitoring and 300 Mbps Wi-Fi for seamless collaboration and remote sessions. You hear exactly what your audience will hear, making mix decisions faster and more confidently.

Comfort and Creative Flow

Technology is only half the story. To keep artists comfortable during long sessions, both complexes include:

• Air-conditioning and anti-viral fresh-air systems for a clean, breathable environment.
• 24-hour access, CCTV and secure entry so you can create whenever inspiration strikes.
• All-inclusive rates covering electricity, internet and business rates—no surprise costs.
• On-site listening bar and restaurant at Markfield Road, ideal for breaks or informal meetings.

These details matter. When you’re free from distractions, you can focus entirely on the music.

A Community of Creators

Ten87 isn’t just about renting a room; it’s about joining a vibrant network of artists. Our studios are already home to more than 150 creators and have welcomed clients including Laura Mvula, AJ Tracey, Biig Piig, Goldie and Universal Music. Shared hallways become collaboration hubs, and our partnerships with Izotope, Roland, Spitfire Audio and SX Pro mean residents enjoy exclusive discounts on software and hardware.

Long-Term or One-Off: Flexible Options

If you need a consistent base, our long-term studios offer flexible leases with all bills included. Prefer a single-day session or a multi-day writing camp? The club can host everything from a ten-piece ensemble to a live-filmed set, while Studio B provides a more intimate writing space. Both are equipped to the same high standard, so you can move between them without missing a beat.
