Console

With reference to the high quality tradition of the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s, we are creating a console from scratch and without compromise. The entire modular unit was designed and made by hand in cooperation with Gem Audio Labs. This analogue construction, full of character and quality components, comprises both classic sounds and a good deal of innovation.

In order to retain the quality of the created signal, we offer various types of iconic preamps, which are mounted in the studio spaces, just off the microphones. Control occurs at console level in the control room. This unique solution means that the very low signals that are prone to distortion are amplified at the very beginning of their signal path, to allow for the registration of quality and sound in its best form.

Microphones

The studio is equipped with top-quality microphones. Our collection includes such items as tube U47 and tube pair of M49 microphones – custom made by Flea manufactory, a pair of FET 47 microphones made by David Bock (Bock Audio), a pair of Earthworks QTC-50, a pair of Soyuz SU-013M. The list of microphones is supplemented by ribbon pairs Coles 4038, Royer 122v (tube) and AEA R88 as well as essential dynamic Electrovoice RE20, Sennheiser 441 (4 pcs), Shure 545 (4 pcs) and SM7 (2 pcs).

Outboard i DAW

Among the other external devices are the tube Retro Instruments 176, Empirical Labs Disstresor EL8X, Crane Song STC-8, Thermionic Culture Rooster, Thermionic Culture Snow Petrel, Gem Audio Labs Preceptor or a variation on the Pultec- Retro Instruments 2a3 tube equalizer.

Digital audio processing is done on a stable AVID Pro Tools HD Native system and a high-end Apogee Symphony II converter that is a perfect complement to the studio’s analog setup.

Monitors

The main monitoring function is met by the ATC SCM50 ASL pro studio monitors with subwoofer. They are complemented by the AURATONE near-field monitors.

Connections

For signal routing we use equipment from the Swiss company Ghielmetti. All the internal connections between the studio spaces and signal cables are made by Mogami. In order to organise and separate the electrical connections in the studio, we have made separate power circuits to supply the lighting, studio equipment, instruments and amplifiers, as well as personal devices.
