Carlos Fuchs at Tenda da Raposa
Brazil - Tenda da Raposa in Rio de Janeiro, one of Brazil's premier recording facilities, recently installed South America's first Rupert Neve Designs 5088: A 32-channel system featuring four Portico 5032 Mic Pre/ EQs, four Portico 5015 Mic Pre/ Compressors, eight 5033 Five Band EQs, a 5043 Stereo Compressor, and 16 channels of Shadowmix Automation.

Although it started as a personal project studio, Tenda da Raposa quickly began to attract independent musicians, producers and singers due to its atmosphere, gear and design. After 10 years of non-stop operations, having recorded the biggest names in the independent music scene in Brazil, and after over 300 CDs, it was time for a major upgrade - an analogue console.

For musician, producer and owner of Tenda da Raposa, Carlos Fuchs, the 5088 is a great step forward: "Being a fan of Rupert Neve's gear for so long, it was an easy decision to go with the 5088. Even without listening to the desk - none were available in Brazil - it was a no-risk operation, and results have gone beyond our expectations."
