GEAR
The monitoring environment of a mastering room is what sets this profession apart from other audio specialties. In addition to absorption and diffusion within the physical space, every element of the listening signal chain is chosen for maximum transparency and dead-on accuracy. The analog signal processing path is designed to be minimalistic, surgical, and purpose-driven. The combination of all these elements is required to consistently deliver jaw-dropping masters, free of errors and oversights. A great engineer helps too.
