Music Gear & Audio Equipment
The Cat Mansion has a great selection of carefully curated, world-class outboard gear and plug-ins to ensure your song, album, voiceover, or video sounds absolutely fantastic. The studio space is fully acoustically treated for critical listening and clean recording, and the Yamaha HS8 monitors are precisely calibrated with the IK ARC system to ensure everything translates beautifully to the real world.
Why choose analog or digital when you can have the best of both worlds? The Cat Mansion incorporates SSL and Audient preamps, SSL and Distressor compressors, and an SSL Fusion Analog Master Processor to achieve a professional, big studio sound. All permanent connections are cabled exclusively with Mogami Gold, ensuring noise-free production. Switchcraft patch bays and inputs, and a fully balanced DI path into premium AD/DA via a Ferrofish Pulse 16 AD/DA converter and an Audient iD44 MKII interface deliver the cleanest sound quality and conversion possible. Once in the box, a full complement of industry standard plugins from FabFilter, SoundToys, Softube, AutoTune, Melodyne, and others are available to finish the job.
Not a local? Not a problem. The Cat Mansion utilizes Audiomovers’ ListenTo for easy, real-time, private, studio quality audio streaming. Listen in directly to a mix or master session and collaborate in real-time so that your project turns out exactly the way you want. It’s the next best thing to being together in the control room.
