Equipment that supports your recording
reliably.
For vocals, rap, songwriting, podcasts, voice over, instruments and creative audio projects, I use high quality, practice proven equipment in my studio. Six top class Neumann microphones, high quality preamps from Focusrite and Avalon, an acoustically optimized recording room, professional monitoring environments and reliable production setups create dependable conditions for clean, controlled results.
What this equipment means for your project.
Release ready instead of needing repair
Reliably clear, release ready audio results. No later repair due to noise, poor levels or distracting room sound is necessary.
Redundancy and control
Redundant hardware, calibrated signal paths and secured sessions. Your recording should focus on performance and feeling, not technical problems.
Result instead of a device list
You are not booking a studio because of a device list, but a reliable result. You will find the detailed equipment overview further down as a transparent insight.

Professional conditions for focused recordings.
Especially for vocals, rap, podcasts, instruments, voice over and other creative audio formats, calmness, structure and controllable recording conditions matter. My studio is designed precisely for that.
Pleasant working atmosphere
A calm, well kept and professional setting makes focused recordings easier and supports structured workflows, even during longer sessions.
Breaks and on site discussions
The location gives you space for short discussions, breaks or intermediate reviews during production.
Drinks and infrastructure
Water, coffee and additional drinks are available. A kitchen is also available. This makes longer sessions pleasant, calm and easy to plan.
Accessible without barriers
My studio is accessible by elevator and fully barrier free. Access is therefore straightforward with a wheelchair, stroller or technical equipment.
Flexible production options
In addition to vocals, rap, podcasts and voice over, individual sound elements, creative textures and additional extensions for your project are also possible.
Acoustically optimized room
The recording room is professionally measured and acoustically treated. This creates reliable conditions for high quality vocals, podcasts, voice over, instruments and other audio formats.
Complete studio equipment.
Neumann microphones, high quality preamps from Focusrite and Avalon, professional monitoring environments, 2 DAWs and an extensive plugin selection are available. The equipment is not just present, but used daily and designed for reliable creative production work.
For voice, vocals and instruments, I use Neumann microphones exclusively, an international reference standard in broadcasting, film and studio work. The U 87 Ai serves as a large diaphragm condenser microphone for speech and vocals, the M147 Tube adds a warm tube character, the KM 184 stereo set provides precise small diaphragm recording for instruments and room recordings, and the KMS 104 is a robust vocal and stage microphone. Each microphone is selected for its specific use and permanently available in the studio, so your recording can be created at a consistently high quality level.
The analog signal chain is deliberately high quality and versatile. The Avalon AD 2022 dual channel preamp in pure Class A design delivers a transparent, open sound with generous headroom. The Focusrite ISA 430 MKII as a classic channel strip and the Drawmer 1968 MK II as a tube FET bus compressor provide musical dynamic control for Mixing and Mastering. The Schippmann Ebbe und Flut adds character as a German analog filter. Together with RME conversion at reference level and Furman power conditioning, this creates a stable, low noise working environment for your recording, mix and monitoring.
For music production, vocal recording, podcasts and post production, 2 leading digital audio workstations are available in parallel. Ableton Live 11 is used for music production, creative work and live applications, while Pro Tools Studio is an industry standard for voice recordings, dialog editing and audio post production. Sonarworks Reference 4 calibrates monitor and headphone playback by measurement, and TotalMix FX manages the RME signal routing in real time with low latency. This creates a flexible and reliable foundation for your production scenario.
Monitoring takes place through KRK VXT 8 active 2 way nearfield monitors with 180 watt bi amping, an 8 inch Kevlar woofer and silk dome tweeter, complemented by the KRK 12S2 subwoofer for low frequency control. For detailed headphone work, Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO closed headphones are available for recordings with spill protection, Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO open dynamic headphones for Mixing and longer editing sessions, and the HIFIMAN Sundara with planar magnetic drivers for particularly precise transients and linear low end reproduction in critical Mixing and Mastering. This combination helps me evaluate the frequency response, stereo image and dynamics of your project across several independent monitoring systems.
For music production, performance and expressive playing, several controllers are available. The Doepfer LMK 2+ is an 88 key master keyboard with weighted hammer action and a piano like feel for software instruments. Ableton Push 2 offers direct hardware control for Ableton Live with a tactile workflow. Faderfox MX12 and Novation Impulse 49 complement Mixing, parameter control and MIDI functions for specialized workflows. This makes playing, arranging and DAW control ergonomic and precise for your project.
In addition to the electronic technology, a collection of acoustic and electronic instruments is available and can be spontaneously integrated into your production. An approximately 100 year old piano, the Dave Smith Prophet as an analog synthesizer, an Elektron drum machine and various hand played instruments such as accordion, acoustic guitar, kalimba, violin zither, bongos, cajón and melodica expand the sonic possibilities. This makes it possible to add real textures, atmospheres and overdubs at short notice without additional rental or appointment costs.
Plugins and software tools.
Beyond the hardware, an extensive collection of professional plugins is used. Every tool is selected for its specific purpose and has proven itself in daily recording, editing, Mixing, Mastering and post production work.
For vocals, rap, podcasts, voice over, music productions and audio post production, 172 plugins with about 220 active licenses are available. The tools are grouped by area of use and can be expanded on demand, so the section stays clear while still showing the available technical depth for editing, restoration, Mixing, Mastering, sound design and instrumentation.
