Why Studios Choose High Path

Recording studios demand absolute silence. Standard air conditioning simply won't do — even the quietest commercial units produce noise and vibration that microphones will pick up. That's why studios worldwide trust High Path.

Over the past two decades, we've refined our designs to achieve some of the best results in the industry. Our systems are imperceptible to the human ear and completely draft-free — essential for vocal booths and live rooms where air movement can affect microphone performance and musician comfort.

We provide full working drawings and 3D designs before installation, ensuring complete integration with your studio's acoustic treatment and workflow.

Recording Studio Air Conditioning Specialists

High Path Air Conditioning is the UK's only air conditioning company with extensive worldwide experience in designing, installing, and maintaining climate control systems specifically for recording studios, mixing rooms, mastering suites, and broadcast facilities.

Over more than two decades, we have continuously refined our designs to achieve some of the best results in the industry. Our systems operate at noise levels imperceptible to the human ear — typically NR20 or below in the listening position. Combined with completely draft-free air delivery, our installations meet the exacting standards demanded by world-class recording facilities.

Every studio project includes full working drawings and detailed 3D designs, ensuring complete integration with your acoustic design, studio layout, and workflow requirements. We work closely with acoustic consultants, studio designers, and architects to deliver seamless installations.

Why Silence Matters

In a recording environment, even the slightest noise or vibration can ruin a take. Standard air conditioning units — even those marketed as "quiet" — produce fan noise, compressor vibration, and air turbulence that sensitive microphones will capture. Our systems are engineered from the ground up to eliminate these issues:

• Remote compressor placement — outdoor units positioned away from sensitive spaces
• Anti-vibration mounting — spring isolators, rubber pads, and flexible connections
• Oversized ductwork — lower air velocity means lower noise generation
• Acoustic attenuators — inline silencers to eliminate breakout noise
• Low-velocity diffusers — custom grilles designed for imperceptible air movement
