Rehearsal Facility
Expanding our well-established Phoenix Sound studios, we have recently opened a rehearsal room at the Serentyaudio location just outside Chippenham in Wiltshire.
Fully equipped with sound and lighting, we offer a stage-like feeling to make it feel like a live gig. – Perfect for that crucial pre-show preparation – or just for fun!
The room has been acoustically treated to sound great. – Not too ‘live’ and not too ‘dead’.
We offer a full 4-way monitoring system (four separate mixes for individual needs), a selection of back line amplifiers and a drum kit. If required, additional equipment is available to hire for your session.
Owner Danny will be there throughout your setup to do a sound check and make sure you are happy with everything so you can concentrate on your music.
The studio was built during lockdown so a lot of thought was put in it to make it Covid-19 friendly. Up to 5 people can fit easily while maintaining social distancing.
All the equipment is sanitised before and after each session. For convenience, a hand sanitising station is installed by the door.
The Technical Stuff…
Sound equipment specification
We use a Yamaha digital mixing desk to store your settings ready for your next visit – saving you setup time.
We also offer multitrack live recording sessions for mixdown and mastering at our studios. Please ask for details.
“As a sound engineer myself, with many years of touring and live sound experience, I believe the best way to provide sound in a rehearsal situation is to have a clear individual mix.
For this reason, we do not have the standard PA system used in many rehearsal rooms.
Instead, we provide a four-way monitoring system with four individual mixes, EQ and FX plus all the necessary cables and accessories although, due to coronavirus, we ask you to bring your own mic. – It’s nothing personal!”
If you need to practice with a PA system, we do have various options available. Once again, please ask for details.
Drum kit
We have a full Tama kit. Drummers are expected to bring their own breakables, i.e. snare drum, cymbals, sticks and kick pedal although all of these can be hired for a small rental fee per session.
Back line
There’s a mix of Marshall, Laney, Orange and Fender amps for guitarists and bass players available to hire per session. – Ideal for musicians who like to travel light!

“After many years of using village halls or other multipurpose spaces for rehearsal when Danny asked if we’d be interested in a dedicated practice venue, I jumped at the chance! – And what a great decision that was.
W have made more progress as a band in a few weeks than we have in many months. A bespoke set up and excellent sound just inspires confidence and speeds up song development.
Danny is on hand to do any tweaking of the kit. We are blown away by the sound and have a load of fun every week! Try it for yourself.”

The Rusty Mikes
“As a busy, professional working band, the Serenityaudio studio is just what we’ve needed in Chippenham for a long time. It offers a perfect environment for live music rehearsals with drum kit, PA, mics & a few extras all provided upon request. Danny is very accommodating to ensure we get just what we require from our studio time and his communication is second to none.”
