Playback: Triplanar arm with various cartridges (ZYX Universe, Grado Statement, Transfiguration Orpheus) mounted on an Atma-Sphere model 208 turntable, Atma-Sphere MP-1 preamp, Atma-Sphere MA-1 amplifiers and Classic Audio Loudspeakers model T-3.3 or High Emotion Audio Bella Twins. We also have a set of High Emotion Audio Bella 7s.
Record: We have a variety of mics in the studio, as well as a variety of multitrack analog recorders. 2-channel machines are the Studer A-80, Ampex 300 transport (1/4" half track) with 351 electronics, Ampex AG-440 (1/2" tape path) with 351 electronics and we have a Sony that allows for rapid replacement of the head stack for 1/4" and 1/2" tape. The lathe is a Scully manual system, modified with variable speed lead screws using an Arduino to calculate the lead screw velocity. The cutterhead is a Westerex 3D cutter, driven by our M-60 amplifiers, otherwise the rest of the system is refurbished Westerex series 1700 electronics for pre-emphasis, high frequency limiting (if needed) and feedback/monitor. We have an in-house low frequency limiter that is based on a Neumann circuit, that detects out-of-phase bass and will temporarily cause mono operation below a certain frequency we can set, in case we are working with a sloppy recording.
