Monom Records

Monom Records drops you into a straightforward lane if recording live music is the goal. In the building at 120 E 89th Street, Suite 6A, the studio quiet hums behind a discreet door in Carnegie Hill territory. Services lean toward 24-track analog and digital capture, post-session editing rooms, on-site mastering, and reel-to-reel tape transfers; they also lease short blocks for project bands and solo artists who need the gear without the overhead. Tracking, overdubs, and final mixing ride the same console chain, so the signal path stays smooth from mic to master. If you’re aiming for a place that skips the lobby noise, it’s worth sliding the studio a call first. Response tends to be quick on weekdays 10a–6p, and they’ll walk through rates or lock a date. The route there is simple via Lexington or Third; park once or ride the 4/5/6 to 86th and walk east one block. Directions and curb-side marking are mapped right here.
