Gotham Sound Atlanta's Saturday hours are changing for the season! After 10/24, Saturday hours are by APPOINTMENT ONLY. Please contact us during the week at [email protected] or 404-855-2255 to arrange appointments for sales, service, and rentals on Saturdays.

We'll keep this one short and sweet! If you're seeing this, we're safely ensconced at our new digs* at:

35-10 36th Avenue
Second Floor
Long Island City, Queens
11106

Come see our new spacious office with more stock, more demos, more rental inventory, free parking, bike storage area, video studio, and the same great service! You can even grab a FREE new Gotham hooded sweatshirt while supplies last - available exclusively at the Long Island City shop! It's easily accessible by car or subway (N/Q to 36th Ave or the M/R to 36th St)! Or if you can't come by, let us know and you can try out our brand-new delivery van!

Our phone number remains (212) 629-9430, but remember to send all mail to and make all returns and pick-ups at the above address from now on! We look forward to seeing you!

*or things have gone so badly that no one remembered to turn this email off, in which case you should come console us.

You've probably gathered that we're looking to schlep the absolute minimum of inventory from one location to another, so here's another way you can help out: we're offering 25% off any audio rental order that picks up at our current Manhattan location before end of day on this Friday, October 23rd and returns to our new Queens location on or after Monday, October 26th.

Won't you give us a hand by emailing [email protected] or calling (212) 629-9430?

The moving sale is in full-effect! Many people have already walked away with great stuff at great prices, but there's still stacks and stacks of racks and racks at 330 W. 38th Street, not to mention the mixers, speakers, recorders, Pelicans, cases, snakes, cables, and what have you! It's amazing what one stockpiles in thirteen years of operation, so we're begging you, come make us an offer - buy it so we don't have to move it!

A small sampling of the current selection can be seen after the jump.

I was saddened to hear about Gunther Kortwich's passing.

I met Gunther when I was working on a TV pilot in Berlin. The producer of the show, Piet Lessnick, told me that every sound person working in Berlin needs to visit Gunther's shop Kortwich Filmtontechnik. Being a foreigner that in theory was taking work away from his customers, I was nervous walking into his shop, but of course he gave me a warm welcome that instantly made me feel like I had a home away from home.

We talked a bit about the job, but instead of talking tech, he asked me who the caterer was. When I told him who it was (MovieCat, if I remember) he smiled broadly, eyes beaming, and declared "Ah well! Then it will be a good job! If there's good food, it will be a good job!"
