Zaor Maestro 36+18

The outboard way of life: with 36 rack units on the desktop, plenty more rack space underneath, optimised airflow, high-end cable management and acoustic optimisation built in, this desk makes working with the finest gear even more enjoyable.

Its more compact sibling, the Maestro 24, is the perfect desk for mastering engineers who know exactly which processors they want to work with. The Maestro 36 adds to the immaculate ergonomics a sense of creative freedom by allowing for more rack units and thus for more exciting hardware gems at your fingertips. With outstanding signal clarity preserved by the dual cable management separating audio and power lines, the acoustic concept of the Maestro makes sure you hear what you are working on without interference as the desk stays out of the way of the sound waves. Panels at the back of the desk absorb stray sound waves, and the felt-covered desktop eliminates comb filter effects caused by reflections that could otherwise compromise the sound image.

They are all here: your favourite compressors and EQs. The limiter you like to use on drum stems. That vintage exciter you love to put at the end of your chain for some added air. Maestro 36 has room for them all, and lets them breathe with the open side panel design.
