Roundhead Studios

Roundhead Studios is a recording studio on Newton Road in Auckland, housed in a former Auckland Friendship Lodge building. The facility has two main studio spaces with large live rooms, isolation booths, and features both vintage equipment and modern recording technology alongside Steinway pianos.

The studio opened in 2007 and includes a Neve console that was originally built for The Who. This connection to the legendary band reflects the quality of professional equipment that has been in use since the studio's opening.

The studio was founded by Neil Finn, the musician from Crowded House, and draws artists from around the world. It has become a place where international and local musicians come together to create their work.

The studio sits within easy walking distance of Auckland's central area, making it straightforward to access. The spaces are designed so that musicians and engineers can work together comfortably during recording sessions.

Between Studio A and the Brick Room sits a special construction: a 10 centimeter concrete pad floats on rubber mounts to achieve complete sound isolation. This innovative technical detail is crucial to the recording quality and shows the careful planning of the studio's acoustics.
