Insider Mastering was meticulously designed from the ground up by renowned acoustician and audio specialist Gerhard Westphalen. Purpose-built for mastering, the space features state-of-the-art acoustic treatment, including custom panels, membrane resonators, and precision-tuned ceiling clouds, crafted to deliver an ultra-accurate listening environment.
Every detail was carefully considered to preserve a musical, real-world character that ensures your masters translate seamlessly across all platforms and playback systems. At the heart of the room is the perfect trifecta of sound: PMC monitors for unparalleled precision and depth, Lynx Hilo conversion for pristine clarity, and a finely curated array of high-end analog gear to add warmth, character, and analog soul to any record.
The aesthetic blends clean Japanese Zen with refined Italian design, creating a boutique space that feels as elevated and timeless as the records crafted within it.
