Some available skills and equipment

Since this is, first of all, a mastering facility, all cabling is of the highest quality with the shortest possible signal paths. The studio operates on one filtered and isolated circuit. All digital equipment is further protected by high-quality UPS. Every inch of the mastering lab is custom designed to create the highest quality audio product.

 

Primary monitoring for mastering is with highly-tuned bi-amped Tannoy PBM 8s with the PS110B Studio Powered Subwoofer and crossover, insuring accurate reproduction of the full audible spectrum. Secondary monitoring is via DBX speaker/subwoofer and Auratone systems with instant switching between primaries and secondaries. Two high-quality computer-based sound systems and boom-boxes are available for reference.
