RecordingTheMasters Factory Launches Kerwax Replica

RecordingTheMasters (MULANN Group), who this year began producing Agfa and BASF formulations of magnetic recording tape, has announced a collaboration with French residential recording facility, Kerwax Studio, resulting in the release of Kerwax Replica, an Analog Tube Processor. Kerwax Replica is the studio’s first design, and the unit was developed, and will be made, in France.

Kerwax Replica is a 2-channel excerpt of the 24-channel custom tube mixing console installed at Kerwax Studio, which the company calls “a unique mixing desk conceived in the pure tradition of golden-age studios to meet the requirements of in-house sound engineers and producers.” The Replica’s two independent channels were conceived for stem or individual instrument processing. The Replica is said to create a variety of tube harmonic distortion characteristics, from “gentle enhancement to smashing blast,” with a tweaking combination of gain drive and output volume stages, bias adjustment and EQ knobs. It is suggested for insert use or as a front-end unit for processing stems or mixes.

Available for pre-order, Kerwax Replica will be showcased and demonstrated by its designer Christophe Chavanon on RecordingTheMasters’ booth during the AES Convention in Los Angeles. RecordingTheMasters will be represented on booth #526 by experts and US representatives (RMGI USA) who will be available to discuss analog recording, tapes and machines.
