Lunar Mansion Studios inventory

Recording Studio Gear & Signal Chain

Explore the microphones, preamps, conversion, monitoring, instruments, and production tools available at Lunar Mansion Studios. The inventory follows the path from capture to playback, with each choice made for the source, the session, and the record rather than for a gear list alone.
