Our studio
Where sound becomes art.
The space
Nestled in Baarn — a quiet, wooded town steeped in history — our studio lives within the legendary Polyhymnia complex, where Philips Classics once shaped the sound of an era. In these acoustically isolated rooms, surrounded by ancient forests and unhurried calm, our team transforms raw recordings into finished works of art. Every session is a pursuit of the most expressive takes, the most natural balances, the truest representation of each performance.
It is a setting that suits the work: precise, deliberate, and far from distraction. We share the space with like-minded engineers and partners from across the globe, united by a love for high-quality audio and music.
Our dedicated 5.1.4-channel immersive monitoring setup allows us to produce in every format: from hi-res stereo up to DXD 32-bit, to fully immersive Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Auro-3D — alongside Hybrid SACDs and vinyl.
