The tools we use to get our sound

Majestic Music Studio was conceived by founder Angelo Montrone, built and co-designed with acclaimed studio designer Frank Comentale with additional acoustic treatments and wiring by Pro Audio Design. Final tuning and treatments were done by Montrone using comparison recordings he had made in world renowned studios. The studio features 2 live rooms, a keyboard room and a booth/amp room, each with their own unique acoustics. The gear list includes some of the best audio equipment ever made from the 1950's through current times, in some cases modified to take them beyond their specifications.
