Compass is a renowned recording studio originally based in Nassau, Bahamas. Founded in 1977 by Chris Blackwell and directed by Alex Sadkin, the studio quickly gained popularity thanks to its relaxed tropical setting and talented session musicians. Artists such as Grace Jones, Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club, Robert Palmer, and Joe Cocker have all recorded at Compass Point Studios.

After Sadkin's passing in 1987, the studio faced a period of decline. However, in 1992, on Blackwell's commission, the studios underwent a complete restructuring led by Terry Manning who also took over management responsibilities. Following this restructure, Compass Point operated with increasing success until September 2010.

In response to local "socio-political" incidents that made it untenable to continue doing public business in The Bahamas, Blackwell and Manning announced via the now-defunct studio website that they were relocating due to these circumstances. They emphasized that anyone claiming to be part of Compass Point Studios after their departure was using the trademarked name inappropriately.
