Just finished recapping, installing and testing our EMT 140TS plate reverb! First time hearing it and really impressed with the depth and transparency! You can turn the reverb very loud and it won’t get in the way of the vocals. Next step is building a remote, for now you’ll have to walk up the stairs to change the reverb length 🤓

Some months ago we designed and built our own nearfield studio monitors. A design where the chosen components and the dimensions of the cabinet work together to create a very tight and very detailed studio monitor. This speaker has absolutely transformed the recording and mixing experience in our Studio A control room in the past months and we, as well as our clients, were incredibly pleased with the result. So much so that some of our clients requested a pair for themselves and we wanted to have the same comfort and detail in all our other studios! That’s why we are currently building 5 more pairs of these. Here is a glimpse of the construction process of the cabinets!

Very big news!! We are constantly upgrading and investing to deliver the highest quality of recordings we possibly can and this is our next step in our quest for sonic greatness! End of july we are expecting the delivery of a Steinway D concert grand piano for our big studio! It is a 1980 Steinway D that spent his whole life in the concerthalls of De Singel in Antwerp and is currently being restored to brand new condition by , who is one of the greatest piano technicians in Belgium and beyond. No compromises are being made in the restoration and this piano will be an absolute joy to play and record music on!
Our current piano, Yamaha CF concert grand, will find its new home in our smaller recording studio and will receive a complete revision of the mechanics in October, by Ortwin as well. This way we will be able to offer a high quality of piano’s in each of our studios!
