Being a brand new room with natural light and double height ceilings, our studio holds a unique position among mastering facilities in the UK by offering a very accurate and open listening environment with the very latest advances in analogue and digital design. We offer the only mastering and vinyl cutting console in business today, worthy of a 24 bit signal, designed by the legendary genius engineer/producer/designer Leif Masses, the Maselec MTC2. This totally analogue stereo and 5.1 mastering monster utilizes the best relay signal routing and direct equipment selection removing the need for a patch bay and unnecessary cable runs.
At a touch of a button monitoring and metering can be achieved at any stage of the mastering chain with additional unique features like the elliptical equalizer, the stereo width adjustment and the sum and difference processing option. On the other hand, in the digital domain we managed to avoid the use of routers and patch bays by implementing direct only connections, avoiding unnecessary signal degradation by the sample rate conversion mechanism that digital patch bays employ and we word clock all digital stages with the latest and majestic Antelope Isochrone Trinity Atomic Clock.
Finally the design of the mains distribution is another area of the studio, which contributes to a phenomenally quiet noise floor by employing "star point" mains installation and "buss bar" distribution using LAT silver cable throughout.
