Swedish independent record label and audiophile recording specialist, associated with Bo Hansson and Jan-Eric Persson, is dedicated to recording timeless acoustic music such as jazz, blues, folk and classical music. Opus 3 recording philosophy remains unchanged!

Opus 3 is a record label founded in the late 70s by recording engineers Bo Hansson and Jan-Eric Persson at Firma Ljudinspelning, Sweden. Their philosophy was to make recordings of music in acoustic surroundings direct to analogue tape. To find the proper balance between the direct sound and the ambience in the recording setting, the Blumlein technique uses two Figure-8 microphones at a 90-degree angle.  This microphone technique was chosen and used for their entire line of productions. The Opus 3 repertoire includes recordings of Classical music as well as Folk, Blues, Pop, Rock, and World music. The albums from Opus 3 rapidly became reference standard recordings for audiophiles all over the world.

Opus 3 is an independent Swedish record company dedicated to recording timeless acoustic music such as jazz, blues, folk and classical music. Opus 3 Records aim is to reproduce voices and instruments as naturally and accurately as possible. To attain this we chose recording environments with good natural ambience. The positioning of the musicians is planned to give the best possible musical communication between them and 
the most favourable interplay between them and the environment. 

Opus 3 Records aim is to provide the listener with the closest possible recreation of the feeling and atmosphere that everyone experienced at the moment of recording. Opus 3 Records unique in offering quarter-inch tape copies of their analogue tape masters, with around 50 titles available spanning solo piano, wind ensembles, orchestral, classical guitar, jazz (classic, modern and swing) and world music, as well as four ‘sampler’ compilation albums. That means analogue die-hards finally have access to some high-quality analogue reference material, free from any of the pops, crackles and other distractions that become inevitable with vinyl records. The master tape dubs are recorded at 15ips in the half-track format, with CCIR equalisation. No noise reduction is employed, and each tape is dubbed individually and directly from the original master tapes.

We are excited to bring these reference standard analogue recordings to OpenReelToReel Hub listeners in audio high-fidelity magnetic tape.
