In a studio situation, about 50% relative humidity is considered ideal for gear and instruments and comfortable for humans. 40% relative humidity is ideal for storing magnetic tapes. But how do you maintain that in a small home studio? And what about dust? It's the nemesis of ALL gear, computers, Pre's, you name it. So what can you do about that, whilst maintaining a space that's as quiet as possible? This week, the team take a stab at answering these questions, and, as usual, a little bit more!...

Following the closure of the AKG offices in Vienna, a bunch of Ex-Employees set out to create something new, challenging, and respectful to their heritage, and Austrian Audio was born.

The product is quite simply stunning, and this week we unbox a few of their products to take a closer look (and listen)... P.S. They're also the newest spons...
