About

More Than a Studio – It’s a Sound Philosophy

At Cyrius MediaWorks, we combine creativity, craft, and commercial know-how to help businesses, brands, and change makers bring their stories to life.

Whether you know exactly what you need, a recruitment video, a podcast series, a campaign soundtrack, or you're just exploring what's possible, we make it easy to start.

We’re not just technicians. We’re collaborators. With over 30 years of experience in media, marketing and production, we deliver content that’s made to perform, from the first idea to the final file.

Our studio is purpose-built for serious production. Tucked away in Sydney, it’s fully equipped with pro audio gear, cameras, lighting rigs, live-stream tools and a huge library of digital instruments and analogue classics. Whether you’re recording voiceovers, filming content, producing music or editing video, we’ve got the gear and the environment to do it right, plus the talent to back it up.

We shape stories that stick, with the tools, team and technical finesse to make every detail count.

We partner with organisations to develop and produce strategic content, from concept through to delivery. Recording may take place in our studio based in Ryde, on-site, or through partner facilities depending on the project such as 2RRR. We don’t offer ad-hoc studio hire or engineer-only bookings.
