A highly accurate listening environment is the most important feature of any mastering studio. Our Essex studio has exemplary time and frequency-domain responses all the way down to 11Hz (-3dB). The room also features a combination of both tailor-made and proprietary diffusion, all giving an incredibly accurate, involving and immersive presentation. The studio also features beautiful views of farmlandand flood plains; it is a wonderful place to listen to music.
