About SALTBOX Studios

Established in 2022, SALTBOX Studios is located on St Asaph Street, in the SALT District, Central Christchurch, Ōtautahi, Aotearoa. There are 3 studios within SALTBOX Studios, 1 large studio and 2 medium-sized studios. The central, medium-sized studio is the control room. This control room houses our audio recording equipment, audio mastering equipment, a vinyl lathe and a video suite to edit and produce video or audio content.

Our 2 rehearsal studios are equipped with guitar amps, bass guitar amps, full drum kits, a PA, and materials such as whiteboards and markers to help assist artists with writing and rehearsing.

Managed by local alternative broadcaster RDU 98.5FM, the studio was founded to assist our local community to learn, upskill, rehearse, record and perform.

In 2021, RDU 98.5FM successfully fundraised the final amount needed to open via boosted.org.nz. The space was refit and redesigned to make it fit for purpose. We thank every single person who donated to the cause and made Ōtautahiā€™s newest studio possible.

Two key supporters who helped kick start the facility opening and continue to support SALTBOX Studios are Three Boys Brewery and Little High Eatery. Local, legendary businesses who support the local independent music industry.Ā
