Euphonic Masters is outfitted with
the latest in analog and digital technology.

At the heart of the analog signal path is a custom Euphonic Masters designed mastering console utilizing the shortest possible signal paths. This console is incredibly clean, with no coupling capacitors or transformers and employing only teflon coated stranded silver wiring throughout. All controls to insert our top-shelf and custom-built analog processors are built with mil-spec switches - no relays. A sonically neutral monitoring section provides control to the main stereo speakers, Bowers & Wilkins Nautilus 802's, powered by Pass Labs amplification and augmented by dual Velodyne DD-12 subwoofers. Analog-to-Digital and Digital-to-Analog conversion is handled by Crane Song and dB Technologies, and all digital signals are connected either point-to-point or routed through the sonically invisible Little Labs digital audio router.

Analog tape playback is provided by a custom built Studer A80 mastering deck. Utilizing highly modified A800 repro electronics, it is one of only two machines hand built by Studer.

This mix of premium and custom built equipment is housed in a room designed by Brad Blackwood with acoustic upgrades by Thomas Jouanjean of Northward Acoustics.
