Capturing magic

To achieve exceptional mallet sounds, we recorded meticulously detailed samples in a state-of-the-art facility in the Netherlands, renowned for its acoustic profile.

The spacious 150 square meter hall featured premium microphones including Neumann M150 tubes and Schoeps MK-series, capturing both intimate close-miked and ambient room sounds to deliver rich, resonant, and lifelike mallet textures.
