Avon Recording Studios, recording studio in Kowloon, Hong Kong
Avon Recording Studios is a recording facility in Kowloon established in 1983 and designed by acoustician Tom Hidley. The interior features wood paneling, cork board, and brick walls that manage sound reflection, with Studio A dedicated to vocal recording, Studio B equipped for music production, and a rest area for staff.
The studio opened in 1983 and became prominent during the 1980s and 1990s when major Cantonese musicians recorded there regularly. A fire at a competing facility in 1996 increased its importance as a primary recording hub for major album productions.
The studio holds deep meaning for musicians and music professionals as a space where creative work unfolds with focused intensity. Its reputation as a place of artistic dedication has drawn generations of performers seeking to capture their work with care and precision.
The studio occupies space in a Kowloon building accessible by public transport and local roads. Advance contact is necessary as the facility primarily serves recording and professional production work rather than casual visits.
Singer Desmond Tan purchased the studio in 2015 and prevented its closure, ensuring it remained active as a production center. The facility hosted recording sessions for significant benefit songs including the Earth Song in 1987 and other charity productions from that era.
