Studio

Acoustics

  • The studio has been designed and built by Mischa Jacobi, who has created monitoring systems and studios for some of the biggest artists in the business. Acoustic treatment, desk and 19" rack spacing has all been integrated into this design, to ensure as little reflections as possible and proper bass trapping.

Monitoring

  • Neumann KH310 A monitor speakers.

    These are some very precise monitors. The speakers have a closed cabinet (so no porting involved), which enables a fast transient response.

AD/DA Conversion

  • Lynx Hilo

    As the manufacturer says, their most transparent interface ever.

Analog chain

  • TKAudio TK-lizer 2 equalizer.

    A great equalizer for broad strokes and doing low and high shelving, with very usable Mid/Side processing.

  • GSSL custom built compressor.

    Self built compressor based on the kit by PCB Grinder. Kits aren't available anymore, only the PCB's. It's very useful as a glue compressor and also has HF sidechain.

  • Sontec style mastering EQ.

    Also a self built project, this is a very transparent five band equalizer based on the DR-MQ5 kit on DIY-Racked. It's a DIY GML/Sontec inspired project, it's not an exact clone of the Sontec 250ex as there are many more steps than the original 250ex and fancy stuff like m/s and l/r.
