For a full equipment list for each room, refer to the studio descriptions on the Bookings page in the Qube app.

Tech guides

For instructions on how to get started in our podcast, DJ and production rooms, please refer to our tech guides below.

Still stuck

Chat to Quinn in the Qube app or Member Portal. If Quinn can't resolve it, your query goes straight to the team and someone will follow up as soon as possible.

Studio quick checklist+

Three things first — they fix most problems in under a minute.

—Cables. Everything plugged in snug — XLR, USB, power.
XLR, jack and USB cables seated in the SSL interface
—Power. SSL interface, monitors, computer and USB hub all switched on.
—Software. DAW open with the SSL interface selected as the audio device.
Logic audio settings with Output and Input Device both set to SSL 2+

Production rooms

Find your problem and work down the list — most things clear by step two or three.

Setting up and controlling volume+

On a Mac it's plug and play — connect your laptop to the hub in the middle of the desk and you're away. On Windows or Linux, download the SSL 2+ driver first (or SSL 12 if you're in Studio 1 or 3).

Volume is the big blue Monitor Level dial on the SSL interface — right for louder, left for quieter.

The Monitor Level dial circled on the SSL interface
No sound from the microphone+
1Check the XLR is snug in both the mic and the SSL's mic input.
2Turn on phantom power — the 48V button on SSL+, or activate it on SSL 12.
The +48V phantom power button circled on channel 1 of the SSL interface
3Make sure the Line button is off for that channel.
The LINE button highlighted on channel 1 of the SSL interface
4Speak into the mic and watch the level meter. If it stays dark, nudge the gain up.
5In your DAW, check the right input is selected and input monitoring is on.
A DAW channel strip with Input 1 highlighted
6Set your laptop's sound output to SSL 2+, and the top-right SSL dial to USB.
No sound from the monitors+
1Monitors plugged in, powered on, volume up?
2XLRs should go into Output 1 & 2 — not the headphone jack.
3Turn up Monitor Level (SSL+) or Output Level (SSL 12).
4Check your DAW's master output is routed to the right SSL channels.
5If there's an A/B switch, set it to the correct monitor pair.

Sound in headphones but not the monitors means a monitor or cable issue. No sound anywhere points at the SSL or the DAW.

Interface or USB hub not showing up+
1Check the USB link — good cable, hub powered, not overloaded with devices.
2Restart everything: unplug, restart the computer, reconnect.
3Update the driver from Solid State Logic (Windows) or check firmware (Mac), and set the SSL as your default input and output device.
4Give the SSL its own dedicated port. Still nothing? Grab a spare hub from the front desk.
Crackle, latency, buzz or dead headphones+
—Crackle or delay. Buffer size 64–128 for recording, 512–1024 for mixing. Close browsers and streaming apps, and use a USB 3.0 port with a short cable.
I/O Buffer Size highlighted in the DAW audio settings
—Buzz or hum. Use shielded cables, plug everything into the same power strip to avoid ground loops, and unplug gear one at a time to find the culprit.
An XLR cable seated in the base of a studio microphone
—Headphones silent. Check they're in the SSL headphone jack, turn that volume knob up, and confirm headphone routing in your DAW.
—Nothing at all. Restart in order — USB hub, SSL, computer, DAW — then message Quinn in the Qube app.
Mics, moving furniture, and switching off+

We have a Shure SM7B available on request, subject to availability — let the team know ahead of your session so we can check one's free.

Rearrange the room if it helps, then put everything back the way you found it before you leave.

Leave the equipment on — someone may be coming in right after you.

DJ rooms

Prep before you arrive and you'll be straight on the decks.

What to bring+
—Your tracks on a USB drive or laptop.
—Headphones — a wired pair with a 3.5mm or quarter-inch jack. No pair? Ask a community assistant.
—Three cables if you're on a laptop — USB Type B to whatever your laptop takes. Both CDJs and the mixer use Type B. We can sometimes lend these, subject to availability.
—A USB hub if your laptop has fewer than three USB inputs.
—An SSD if you're recording or streaming video — we don't carry spares.
Prep before you arrive+

Use Pioneer's free Rekordbox software to prep in advance — it lets you make full use of the CDJs.

—Format your USB stick in FAT32.
—Process your tracks through Rekordbox.
—Keep your firmware updated, in case the room isn't on the latest version.

On a laptop, your machine connects through a USB hub or splitter to both CDJs and the mixer. Setup tutorials for Rekordbox, Serato and Traktor are all online.

Before you start your set+
1Power on for both the CDJ-3000s and the Pioneer DJM-900NXS2 / A9.
2All mixer dials at 12 o'clock.
3FX and filter buttons off.
4Pioneer mixers sleep after a while — press WAKE UP.
5Red light on the wall-mounted speakers? Turn the plug off and on again.
Recording or streaming your set+
Recording

Plug your SSD into the computer at the right of the desk. In OBS, go to File › Settings › Output, find Recording Path, press Browse and pick a folder on your SSD. Play something and check for signal in OBS's Audio Mixer panel — the mixer's Booth Monitor knob controls this. Then press Start Recording, and Stop Recording when you're done.

OBS recording output settings
Streaming

In OBS, go to File › Settings › Stream, pick your platform, then connect your account or enter your Stream Key. Check signal, press Start Streaming — and log out or unlink your Stream Key before you leave. Qube isn't responsible for accounts left signed in.

Always do a test recording first — files that didn't record properly can't be recovered.

Computer & OBS troubleshooting+
—Computer locked. Choose Other Login Options › Pass Pin, then enter 124578 or 123456.
—OBS closed. It's on the desktop — just open it.
—No picture. In the Sources panel, double-click logi camera and set the device to Logi Rally Camera.
—No audio in OBS. Double-click Audio Input Capture and set the device to Line (2 - AudioBox USB 96), then turn up Booth Monitor on the mixer.

Recording your DJ set

Capture your set with EvermixBox5 — connect your mixer and phone, check your levels, and you're ready to record.

Downloading the app+

Search for Evermix in the App Store or on Google Play, and install it on the phone you'll be recording with.

When the app asks, allow microphone and storage permissions.

Connecting your mixer and phone+

Two things plug into the EvermixBox5: the DIN cable, and the RCA cables from your mixer.

DIN cable

Go carefully with this one. The DIN connector has 8 delicate pins that need to line up exactly with the socket.

1Hold the plug so the 3 pins sit in a horizontal row at the top.
2Line them up with the 3 horizontal holes at the top of the socket.
3Push it in straight and gently. Don't force it or twist it, and don't go in at an angle — that's how pins get bent.
The Mini DIN socket on the EvermixBox5 beside the Mini DIN plug, with a line across each showing how the pins line up

Take your time. Lined up properly, the connector is sturdy.

RCA cables

Run the RCA cables from your mixer's REC OUT or BOOTH OUT to the EvermixBox5. Push them in firmly until they feel secure. If the fit is loose, try the other output on the mixer.

Checking your recording settings and levels+
1Open the Evermix app — the box should connect on its own.
2Pick your recording format: WAV for a single stereo input (lossless, studio quality), or AAC 320 kbps if you're using both inputs.
3Play a track and adjust the output volume on your mixer.
4Watch the level meter in the app. It should sit around –3 dB and stay out of the red.

Hitting red? Bring the mixer's output down before you record.

Recording and saving your set+

Hit Record in the app, then play your set.

Your mix is saved to your phone, in the format you picked.

Always do a test recording first — files that didn't record properly can't be recovered.

Sharing your recording+

You can edit or share your mix straight from the app — to SoundCloud, Mixcloud, Dropbox, Google Drive and more.

Power and phone charging+

The box runs from your phone and uses very little battery, so it doesn't need a power supply of its own. Its micro USB port is for power only — it doesn't carry audio.

—Lightning iPhones. Your phone can charge while you record, through the micro USB port.
—USB-C iPhones and Android phones. No charging through the Evermix. If you'll need a top-up, use a MagSafe battery pack or a USB-C adapter.

Access

Your phone is your key at Shoreditch.

You can use the Qube app to unlock the doors at these locations. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on, then return to the Dashboard (home page) using the button in the bottom-left corner of the app and tap Unlock Door. Hold your phone close to the door reader and the door will unlock.

Your first visit

Come during staffed hours the first time, so the team can welcome you, show you around and make sure you're set up.

Studios themselves are bookable 8am to midnight, every day. The building is closed from midnight to 8am.

Out of hours

Outside staffed hours, get into the building through the rear courtyard door with your access card.

Security alarms set automatically — close doors fully behind you on the way in and out so you don't trigger them.

Can't get into your studio?

0161 509 4561

Have your session time, the name on the booking and the room number ready — our offsite service needs all three to grant access.

Getting help

Our Community Team is on site to help with any questions you have, seven days a week.

Staffed hours & lounge opening
Mon, Tue, Fri

8am – 7pm

Wed & Thu

Technical issues in the studio

If you experience a technical issue in the studios outside of staffed hours, simply scan the QR code displayed in the studio to access our out-of-hours technical support and troubleshooting guides.

Ask Quinn

If you need support, you can chat with our AI assistant, Quinn, via the Qube app or Member Portal. Quinn can help with a wide range of questions and requests, and if your query can't be resolved, it will be forwarded to a member of the team, who will follow up with you as soon as possible.

If you contact Quinn outside of staffed hours, your query will still be logged, and a member of the team will get back to you as soon as they're back on-site.

Locked out of the building or a studio? That's the out-of-hours access line, not Quinn.

How credits work

Your monthly credits reload on the 1st of each month at midnight. They expire in two stages, so you get a little more flexibility.

50%

Expires at the end of the month it's issued.

50%

Expires at the end of the following month.

Booking window

While credits are active you can book sessions up to 10 weeks ahead. Once they expire, unused credits are removed and can't be used.

Off-peak

Studios cost fewer credits off-peak, 08:00–10:00 and 21:00–00:00, than at peak, 10:00–21:00. Every room is priced differently depending on the space and its spec.

Checking costs

Each studio's credit cost sits on its image on the booking page in the app.

Your balance

Open the Benefits section at the bottom of the app homepage.

Need more studio time?

Buy extra credit packs any time via the Shopping Basket in the Qube app. Packs are valid for three months from purchase.

07 · Your membership

Bookings & guests

Cancel a booking or move its start and end time in the Qube app up to one hour before the session begins.

Can't make the change yourself, or need a hand? Contact the Support Team via Quinn in the app.

Guests are welcome at your session. As the booking holder, it's your responsibility to make sure they follow Qube's House Rules.

Read the house rules
08 · Your membership

Overstays

Book the studio for the full time you need. If you need longer mid-session, extend the booking in the app before it ends where you can.

If you can't update it in time, or simply forget, we do monitor studio overstays. Your booking is adjusted automatically to reflect the extra time and the credits are deducted retrospectively.

We'd encourage everyone to manage their own bookings wherever possible, so your account and studio usage stay accurate.

Not enough credits to cover the extra time? The overstay is charged in £ at the applicable hourly studio rate — which can be up to twice the standard member rate — and collected in your next billing period.

09 · Your membership

Changing your account

Submit the relevant request form at least 30 days before you'd like the change to take effect.

Once submitted, your request goes straight to the General Manager of your home site, who'll review it and be in touch to confirm the change or ask for anything else they need.

10 · Your membership

Multi-site access

Multi-Site access is an upgrade on your Shoreditch membership — an additional 10% on your monthly fee, requested through the Membership Change Request Form. As a Multi-Site member, switch between locations by tapping the three dots in the bottom-right of the app, selecting your current location, then choosing where you'd like to go.

Switching location in the Qube app

House rules

Be considerate. Treat the studios and common areas as you would your home, and leave them as you found them — clean and tidy.

Be responsible. You're accountable for the safety and behaviour of everyone who comes with you.

No under 18s. We're a strictly 18-and-over venue.

Be respectful. Vacate the studio by the end of your confirmed booking. Set-up and pack-down are inside your booking window.

No food in the studios. The communal lounges are there for refreshments and hot food.

Be mindful. Close studio doors fully on the way in and out — for safety, and to keep sound bleed down.

Strictly no smoking or vaping inside the premises — please use the allocated smoking areas (the garden or in front of reception).

Report damage to a member of staff immediately.

Pets are allowed. Supervised at all times, and off the furniture.

We operate 24hr CCTV.

Leave on time. Overstay past your end time and your booking is adjusted automatically, then charged retrospectively.

Safety

Give the emergency procedure a read before your first session, and take a minute to find the exits on your floor.

In an emergency, dial 999 first, then let the Community Team know as soon as it's safe to.

If the alarm sounds

Leave

Stop what you're doing and leave by the nearest fire exit. Don't stop to collect belongings, and don't use the lift.

Take guests

You're accountable for anyone who came in with you — make sure your guests leave with you.

Office members

If you take an office at Shoreditch, a few things work differently to a studio membership — cards, keys, post and the printer.

Access cards

Your access card is issued on your first day. Carry it with you at all times. If you misplace it, tell the team immediately so it can be cancelled — replacement cards are £24 each.

Forgotten it? Within staffing hours, ground-floor reception is staffed and the team will let you in. Outside those hours, use the out-of-hours number below.

8am – 10pm — the bar is open for drinks.

Sat & Sun

Out of hours

To get into the building outside staffing hours, use the rear courtyard door with your access card. You'll also need a key to get into your own office.

Security alarms set automatically — just make sure doors are closed behind you on the way in and out, so you don't set them off.

Your office key

The first person in each day collects the key from reception. The last person out returns it to reception — or, if you're leaving outside staffing hours, drops it in the box by the rear exit door.

Your account & team

Always let the team know when someone joins or leaves, so your account stays up to date. To add someone new, email their first name, last name, phone number, email and preferred start date to your onsite team and they'll do the rest — hello@theqube.com, or speak to the team on site.

Post & deliveries

Parcels and letters are held in the delivery room by reception. You'll get an email when something arrives — head down and collect it from the team.

FAQs

How do I book a studio?+

Log into the Qube app, tap the basket in the middle of the bottom bar, and choose your studio and time.

How far in advance can I book?+

Up to 10 weeks ahead, on every membership tier.

House & Solo — 10 weeks Pro & Partner — 10 weeks
How do I cancel a booking?+

Open the booking in the Qube app, hit cancel and confirm. You can't cancel within an hour of the start time.

Will my credits be refunded if I cancel?+

If you cancel in the same month you made the booking, credits return to your account automatically. If the booking was made in a previous month, that month's allowance is no longer available, so there's no refund.

Can I get credits back if my session finishes early?+

No — bookings are final and can't be cancelled or amended once underway.

What happens if I overstay my booking?+

Let a member of staff know and credits will be deducted from your account to cover the additional time.

Where do I check my credit balance?+

In the Qube app — scroll to the bottom of your homepage to see what's remaining this month.

How do I buy extra credit packs?+

Tap the shopping basket in the app and select Buy a Product. Choose the pack you need and purchase — credits land on your account immediately and roll over for three months.

How do I register guests before a session?+

Add them via the Attendees section on the booking form. Tap Invite Attendees and enter their name, email and phone number.

How many guests can I bring?+

Our lounge and co-work space welcome up to 3 guests. For a studio, check the app for that room's guest limit.

Can I leave my guests at Qube if I go?+

No. You're responsible for your guests and should be with them at all times while on site.

What if we exceed the room capacity?+

You'll need to move to a studio that fits everyone, subject to availability — it isn't guaranteed. Plan sessions accordingly to avoid disruption on the day.

Can I book for a friend or client if I won't be there?+

No — your membership is for you alone. If you need multiple cards and access for clients, upgrade to the Partner tier.

What are the staffed hours across the sites?+

Qube Shoreditch is staffed seven days a week — 8am–7pm Monday, Tuesday and Friday, 8am–10pm Wednesday and Thursday, and 9am–7pm at weekends. Studios are bookable 8am to midnight every day; the building is closed from midnight to 8am.

Hours differ at the other sites. Check the guide for whichever location you're visiting, or ask Quinn in the app.

Does my membership work across all Qube sites?+

Not by default. Shoreditch members can upgrade to a Multi-Site membership for an additional 10% per month, requested through the Membership Change Request Form. Multi-site members then use their credits freely at any Qube site.

How can I put my account on hold?+

If you want to stay a member but won't use your monthly credits for 30 days or more, you can put your account on hold. Schedules change — this is designed to keep your membership wherever your career takes you.

Terms & conditions
—Available once you've exceeded your contract's minimum term. On a 3-month term, you can hold from the fourth month.
—To put your account on hold, you must fill out the Hold Request form via your portal.
—Holds always begin on the 1st — they can't start mid-month.
—A holding fee of £40 + VAT is payable on the 1st of each month the account is held.
—Payments are taken automatically via Direct Debit, unless an alternative is agreed with management.
—While on hold you can't access Qube sites unless registered as a visitor, and can't use monthly credits to book.
—There's currently no limit on how many months an account can be held.
I've lost my membership card — what now?+

Let a member of staff know. A £24 charge is added to your monthly invoice to cover the replacement.

How often are member events? Do I pay?+

Every site hosts at least one member event a month, included in your membership. Reserve tickets and see what's coming up in the Events section of the app.

Is there anywhere I can reach the community?+

Yes — post on the discussion board. It's a good place for site updates and for finding members looking to connect and collaborate.

How do I contact Qube staff via the app?+

You can get in touch via our in-app AI assistant Quinn. If Quinn can't resolve it, your query is passed to a member of the team, who'll follow up as soon as they can.

When is the bar open?+

Wednesday and Thursday, 8am–10pm, with happy hour 6pm–8pm. Those are the two nights the lounge stays open late.

I can't get in outside staffed hours — who do I call?+

The out-of-hours access line, 0161 509 4561. It's for access problems only — it can't give general support or technical help. For anything else, message Quinn.

Where can I see bookings, invoices and credits?+
