Sweetwater Airstream Studio Edition Trailer
Discover the first-ever fully immersive Dolby Atmos® mobile recording studio, custom-built inside a state-of-the-art Airstream
Built in partnership between Airstream, Sweetwater, and Russ Berger Design Group, the Sweetwater Airstream is designed to bring content creation experiences to new communities with state-of-the-art mobile recording and mastering capabilities.
For more than 95 years, Airstream has inspired artists, musicians, and travelers to create something new for themselves. Whether it's a song, a piece of art, or simply travel plans that maximize time on the road, Airstreams are symbols of freedom, exploration, and creative expression.
Likewise, Sweetwater – headquartered in Fort Wayne, Indiana, just two hours from Airstream's Jackson Center, Ohio HQ – has spent decades helping bring musical creativity to life. The number one online retailer for music makers, Sweetwater is trusted and beloved by millions of musicians, audio engineers, teachers, band and orchestra directors, and podcasters who rely on the brand to help advance their musical and creative journeys. When Sweetwater decided to build an advanced mobile recording studio, they turned to the iconic Airstream brand to help bring it to life.
“At Sweetwater, we love serving creators one at a time, and hearing about their musical dreams and aspirations. It inspires us as musicians ourselves. The Sweetwater Airstream honors our history and is built for our future. It gives us an opportunity to meet our customers, shake their hands and say thank you, while sharing stories about how music has impacted our lives." -- Mike Clem, Sweetwater CEO
With Airstream providing the iconic 25-foot riveted aluminum shell and building out interior comfort areas and Sweetwater providing the state-of-the-art equipment, the team turned to one of Sweetwater's most trusted design experts, Russ Berger Design Group to deliver a design that brought audio clarity, advanced technology, and a reference-quality 7.2.4 Dolby Atmos® mastering suite unlike anything that's ever hit the road. Drawing on unparalleled experience as a global leader in Dolby Atmos room design, RBDG worked with Airstream's design team to craft the interior space to deliver the same level of precision, performance, and creative freedom found in professional, fixed immersive studios like the studios and technical facilities they designed at Sweetwater's Fort Wayne headquarters.
The Sweetwater Airstream allows musicians to bring the recording technology to them, no matter where they are. No longer are musicians and audio engineers relegated to traveling to brick and mortar locations to bring their creative vision to life. Fully capable of recording live musicians inside the trailer or patching in to live recordings in music venues, the real magic is the Dolby Atmos mastering technology that is becoming one of the most sought-after services in the music world. With the advancement in spatial audio offered by many music streaming services, the world of high fidelity audio is progressing away from the longtime stereo sound standard into a world where the music envelopes you and listeners can hear more of what makes it special.
“Airstream has a deep connection to music and the recording industry, with musicians, producers, and songwriters requesting an Airstream studio for many years. The Sweetwater Airstream travel trailer offers a mobile studio format, supporting artists through the creative process wherever inspiration may strike.” -- Bob Wheeler, Airstream President & CEO
The Sweetwater Airstream will soon hit the road to capture live performances and host workshops, demos, gear exhibits, artist showcases, and immersive sound experiences. Content from select performances and recording sessions throughout the tour will be curated and shared online.
