Created after 
a lifetime spent listening

Listening came first.
Building came naturally.

BUILT FROM EXPERIENCE

Over the years, my passion and knowledge in electronics have naturally become an extension of my work as a sound engineer.

Decades spent recording artists, searching for truth, solving problems, and listening with obsession.

​

I decided to build my own microphones.

​

What began as a personal pursuit has become something I am proud to share with fellow recording engineers and artists around the world.

BUILT BY HAND

Every microphone is assembled

and tested by hand in France.

NO COMPROMISE

Only the highest quality components,

chosen for sound, not for cost.

MADE FOR RECORDING

Designed to capture the truth 

and reveal the emotion.

BEFORE BUILDING,

THERE WAS LISTENING.

Decades of recording music 

have shaped each microphone.

FROM RECORDING 
TO DESIGN

Electronics became a natural
extension of listening.

CRAFT DESERVES CRAFT.

For the presentation cases, I turned to Lorenzo,
designer and maker of BRICK in Italy.

We shared the same belief:
quality leaves no room for compromise.

Built to protect what was built to last.

AN INSTRUMENT DESERVES A CHOICE.

Every microphone comes carefully protected,

with its dedicated shock mount.

The custom BRICK presentation case
is available as an option.

Six microphones.

Six different path to sound.

BUILT IN SMALL BATCHES.

Every circuit is assembled by hand, in small batches.

​
