Polar Studios, Recording studio in Stockholm, Sweden
The Polar Studios occupied a former cinema theatre on the ground floor of Sportpalatset building in central Stockholm, featuring a modified Harrison mixing console.
Established in 1978 by ABBA members Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and their manager Stig Anderson, the studio operated until its closure in 2004.
The studio recorded the final three ABBA albums and attracted international artists including Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Ramones, Roxy Music, and Roxette.
The recording facility contained two sections, with one part using analog tape machines while the other implemented digital equipment for various recording needs.
The studio marked a technological advancement in 1981 when ABBA's album The Visitors became the first project recorded on their new 3M digital recorder.
