Touchdown Studios, situated in the Alpine village of Kranzberg about 45 minutes north of Munich, was at the time one of Europe's most technically advanced recording and post-production facilities. Business was mainly music recording and film post-production.

It offered two 48 track rooms both equipped with Neve VRP total recall consoles, Otari MTR100 analogue and Sony Dash digital multi-tracks, Audio Kinetics ES1.11/Motionworker synchroniser systems, NED Synclavier and Digidesign Sound Designer hard disk recorder/editor systems.

The mixing room was Dolby 5:1 surround equipped (one of the first studios to install such a system) and the company was also involved in the development of a soundfield microphone for digital ambisonic recording in conjunction with AGM Digital Arts of Cambridge, England (field-testing this system being one of my responsibilities).

Plans to build a much larger residential facility in Portugal drained the company financially however, and Touchdown closed in 1994.
