STS Digital

STS Digital are one of Europe's leading audiophile recording and music production studios, still using the master audio tape medium wherever possible for the best musical sound and dynamics. Over the years, they have developed their own unique 'MW process' to make their recordings sound as good as possible from studio masters.

Who said CD was dead!?

Not us, nor STS Digital. The best-sounding CDs ever? Hi-Fi News Album Choice, sound quality 95%, the best ever rating in Hi-Fi News magazine for a CD we believe.

In STS Digital CD Recording, you will find:

1. The warm sound, that acoustic instruments possess on their own but is often not captured by sound technicians.
2. Acoustic placing and recognition of the musicians in the recording space.
3. Phase purity of a recording, both the electric phase (good cable/fibre connections etc), and the acoustic phase must be acquired through proper placement of the microphones.
4. Symmetry in the recording; this means always placing the microphones in such a way that on both the left and the right side there’s an equal division of signal, and not placing mono support microphones on the extreme left and right.
5. Transparency and clarity in a recording. This does not mean an overly sharp recording, but one of softness in tone and clarity, in which especially the 3-dimensional recording space is being displayed.
