Rent with Blackbird Studios
The team at Blackbird Studios in Nashville have launched a rentals service web site, where anyone can hire equipment from what they call “the finest collection of pro audio equipment anywhere”. (Looking at their inventory, it’s hard to take issue with that statement!)
With Blackbird Audio Rentals, you can hire everything from a cable tester to a Studer A827, from Yamaha NS10s to vintage mics, and all items are maintained by an in-house team of professional engineers, and available to view on-line.
The team offer regular special deals, where the price-per-day of certain items on the inventory is discounted, and there are some seriously rare pieces available for rent, such as the first ever AKG C24 put into production (pictured)! These rarities cost a bit extra, but for a decent front-end rig for a vocal session, comprising a Neumann U87 and a Neve 1073 preamp, Blackbird would charge $85 at full rates.
A shipping service is also offered, and they can apparently deliver “almost anything to almost anyone, almost anywhere in the continental USA”, and the team are on hand at weekends and during the night. Why not check it out for yourself?
