"My goal is to realise a compact studio within an affordable budget, but without compromising the quality. The addition of the Audient Zen has gone a long way to help with this," says Minjauw, who is currently upgrading the studio - previously just a mixing room - by adding a recording booth for basic recording and overdubs.
Brussels-based Ohm Studio has also upgraded to an Audient Zen. "It has an incredible sound which makes a huge difference, especially compared to mixing 'in the box'," says studio owner Owen Replay, also an artist in his own right. "It has very effective routing, and I really love the bus compressor," he enthuses. "I am impressed by the faders' precision, too."
Installed by local audio dealer Orbit Pro Audio, Ohm Studio also doubles up as a demo studio in Brussels, giving potential customers in the region the chance to assess the sound of the Zen for themselves.
Juke Box Ltd is now handling distribution of Audient products in Belgium and Luxembourg. Manager Filip De Voscomments, "It's great to add Audient to our portfolio. We have great ambition for this brand and I'm confident that these sales indicate a strong interest in our territory, one that we intend to explore fully."
