Neumann AM131 Disc-Cutting Lathe<\/h2>\n

The studio is built around a restored Neumann AM131 disc-cutting lathe<\/strong> with its original Lyrec motor<\/strong>, a Neumann SA74 suspension<\/strong> and Ortofon DSS-series stereo cutterheads<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The cutting system uses a Neumann VG1 tube rack<\/strong> with two LV60 cutting amplifiers<\/strong>, an Ortofon STL-631 high-frequency limiter<\/strong>, and a modern FlokaSon Pitch18 system<\/strong> for precise pitch and groove-spacing control. The system is currently being prepared for professional vinyl mastering and lacquer cutting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

This includes a Yamaha U1 acoustic piano, Moog Subsequent 37, Dave Smith Poly Evolver, Prophet-8, Korg MS-20, as well as a pair of rare custom-built modular synthesizers from the 1970s.<\/p>\n

These instruments can be used to add organic character, analog texture, unique sound design elements and musical depth to a production.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Tore Seem Seesam2 analog mixer<\/h3>\n

The studio uses a custom-built Tore Seem Seesam2 analog mixer as part of the hybrid mixing setup. This special version has been built with an external Tore Seem power supply to reduce noise in the signal path and preserve clarity during mixing.<\/p>\n

Each microphone channel is fitted with additional Lars Lundahl transformers, in addition to the standard Lundahl transformers originally used in the channel strips. This makes the mixer a unique piece of equipment, adding depth, character and analog texture to the sound when needed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
