We implement professional quality audio gear in our recording rigs. We have spent countless hours comparing the musical quality of the devices we choose to put to work for you. We have also used them in real world world situations and carefully listened to the sonic signature that each preamp or microphone puts on a vocal or instrument. Instead of choosing the latest "buzzword" piece of gear or blindly putting the hottest new item into use, we actually test what we use.
