A comprehensive collection of raw cannon sound recordings, offering unlimited creative freedom for designing explosive, realistic artillery audio.

This cannonade of 15 different cannons with is the most comprehensive cannon library ever to be released on the market. High-quality, 26-channel recordings of fort-smashing bombards, high-angled mortars, 16-pounder frigate loads, and more, these cannon blasts, impacts, and flybys are indispensable components of any sound design for any film or game action sequence set in the late medieval to early modern periods. Not just for cannon blasts, they can also be used to give trailer sound design and general explosions a much heavier punch.

CANNONS CONSTRUCTION KIT

MATERIAL IMPACTS

Included in the Construction Kit is the entirety of the cannons action, from blast to impact. There is a huge variety of Foley recording for impact materials that could be needed in any cannon battle scenario, including water, sand, stone, rock, wood, sails, dirt, and more.

The sounds were captured on a hill-top near a forest; the natural outdoor reverb providing ultra-crisp and full tails. With our array of modern mics including shotguns to omnidirectional mics in AB, XY, ORTF configurations plus Ambisonics and ORTF 3D spatial audio setups we were able to capture every sound in their full, rich intensity.

A FULL CANNONADE

Across the smoky battlefield, cannons reign supreme. These high-quality sounds dont include just the 26 channels of raw blasting power, but also the mechanical noises, impacts, and flybys (group shots) everything you need for total audio realism in your production, whether its a film, game, or podcast. With the Construction Kit there are 8 variations for each cannon, and a sampling of a range of cannons of different sizes and types.

LET FREEDOM RING

Recorded at a military base and an archery range, the hillside settings provided the perfect natural reverbs for these cannon blasts. Though with many sounds you might want a dry recording, with cannons (and other firearms) a nice, appropriate tail ensures it has a measure of realism.
