The Mothership
Amsterdam
The second studio built at Armada Music’s headquarters in Amsterdam.
Studio 2 is designed to provide an inspiring environment for writing, producing, and mixing, with a cozy atmosphere that’s ideal for focused sessions.
Equipped with Barefoot speakers delivering a powerful, deep bass response, this room is especially perfect for crafting basslines and dialling in the low end of your mix with precision.
Inside the studio you'll also find the Waldorf Iridium Synthesizer, that offers a super versatile digital and analogue sound. It's basically Serum2 in a keyboard. For vocalists, we provide a world-class recording setup featuring a Manley Reference Microphone, Neve 1073SPX preamp, and a Lydkraft Tube-Tech CL1B compressor, delivering a wonderful professional polish.
Just like all our studios in Amsterdam, Studio 2 has access to our collection of floating gear, including electric, acoustic, and bass guitars, a fully loaded pedal board, and a wide range of additional synthesizers. See the full list below.
Need a break? The chill area next to the studio features an acoustic piano, big recliner chairs, a pool table, and a DJ setup. It's a great place to reset and stay inspired.
Barefoot Footprint01 speakers – Offering pronounced definition with precision in the sub frequencies. Preferred by many bass heavy artists that need good clarity to create and mix dancefloor bangers.
Drawmer MC2.1 Monitor Contoller – Allows you to select multiple input and output sources.
RME FireFace UCX II – The RME Fireface UCX II is a super reliable and compact audio interface with clear, high-quality sound, ultra-low latency, flexible inputs and outputs, built-in recording to USB, and powerful software for mixing—making it a top choice for serious music creators who need pro features in a small setup.
Manley Reference Microphone – Known for delivering bold, warm, and exquisitely transparent vocals—even before EQ or compression—earning its nickname as a “Just‑Add‑Talent” mic with a polished, larger-than-life sonic character that excels across vocals, sax, guitars, and drums.
