Multi-platinum music producer and songwriter Ronnie Jackson has made a Neve® Genesys Black G16 console the centrepiece of a new five studio facility he recently opened in Georgia, USA.

Jackson, who is known in the music industry as super producer Lil’ Ronnie, chose a Genesys Black console for the main audio studio because he wanted a Neve as the facility’s centrepiece. As the remaining four studios are equipped for ‘in the box’ workflows the Neve console, which was supplied and installed by pro audio specialist Vintage King, gives producers and artists access to a hybrid workflow as it offers 24 faders, 8 analogue channel and an integrated DAW display.
