Pacifique Recording Studios
Pacifique Recording Studios is a mixing and recording studio based in North Hollywood, California that was launched by Joe, Ken, and Vic Deranteriassian in 1984.
In 1999, Pacifique installed its second SSL console, the 9000 J Series. In 2003, Pacifique housed two SSL K 9000 (96 input) consoles, which is still sought after by engineers and artists who prefer analog boards over digital ones. Pacifique has been featured in Billboard, Mix, and Audio magazines for its mixing and recording achievements over the past 25 years. The company sold to new ownership in late 2015.
