GEAR

The Grand Hôtel Mastering offers an unusual working philosophy, it combines a mastering studio and an audiophile lounge. The union of these two universes gives an almost metaphysical priority to the sound. Nothing distracts attention between the engineer and the speakers. In addition, the absence of a desk greatly reduces reflections which harm neutral listening.

This configuration allows an augmented critical approach. The engineer is no longer just an artist-technician but he can also put himself in the place of the customer, the listener, the audiophile. Indeed, from the smallest listening system to the most expensive Hi-Fi system in the world, the sound engineer must be able to satisfy all listening situations.

 

In this quest to bring the professional studio and the audiophile lounge together, Grand Hôtel Mastering has not only focused its attention on its acoustics and its high-end equipment. He also paid particular attention to the entire electrical circuit as well as all the audio cables in order to obtain optimal quality and transparency, without removing the organic nature that listening should retain. Some people don't know it, but the electricity in an audio system is comparable to the blood circulating in our body. Like it, it ensures significant operating quality. Lines dedicated to analog and digital, Gigawatt electrical circuit breakers and cables, Furutech sector sockets and cables, Vovox analog and digital cables, Grimm audio, Curious cables, Melco, PS AUDIO power regenerator, the best has been selected to offer you an optimal experience of your music.
