The mastering suite at Steps Ahead Sound was designed as a true acoustic reference environment. Here, you will hear your music like you’ve never heard it before.
We have gone to every possible length to create the ultimate monitoring chain. Our high resolution monitoring uses the best equipment we could find, the Lipinski L-707 main speakers, Silver Wired and finely tuned with Genelec subwoofer to give a flat response.

Our Dangerous Monitor control designed by Chris Muth (Sterling Mastering) with custom designed DAC by Troisi Designs allows us to hear digital signals and CD’s at their utmost potential. You will get a true insight into how your master compares against others.
The performance of our DAWs has been carefully tuned to give similar resolution as our reference CD transport, to avoid surprises and preserve the musical intent of the artist.

Natural lighting was thought to create a comfortable working environment with an intimate atmosphere. The room can easily accommodate our visitors, who may relax on our comfortable couch or enjoying freshly ground coffee in the peace of our garden - a refreshing break from long sessions.
