STS Analog

Premium High-End Recording Label from the Netherlands. 

STS Analog Label is one of Europe's leading audiophile recording and music production studios, still using the analogue reel tape medium wherever possible for the best musical sound and dynamics. STS Analog based in Holland, has been used by several leading component manufacturers such as Marantz, to produce CDs of exquisite sound quality. Over the years, they have developed their own unique 'MW process' to make their recordings sound as good as possible from studio masters for CD and LP. 

In STS Analog 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.

If you listen to STS music productions remember that they did their utmost best to get for you all the benefits of our effort to go far beyond the best of the best.
