One Collection. Three Completely Different Reasons to Put Tape on Everything.
Every great tape machine has an opinion, and no two of ours agree. Studio 15 runs two independently controlled channels with a full set of REC, REP, BIAS, and HF Trim per side, tuned toward a slightly more colored, workhorse character. Master 30 splits Record and Reproduce into their own stages with independent Manual/Preset locks per side, built for the kind of warmth that answers back when you push it. Reference Two adds a real three-way Input/Sync/Reproduce monitor path most machines never gave you, and stays precise and disciplined until you flip Uncalibrate and ask it not to be.
Studio 15 is the workhorse. Two independent channels, complete REC, REP, BIAS, and HF Trim controls on both sides, 7.5 and 15 IPS operation, selectable tape curves, and genuine modulated-delay wow and flutter. Warm, flexible, and prepared to stay at the studio until somebody finally fixes the bridge.
Master 30 is the muscle. Record and Reproduce operate as separate stages, each with its own Manual/Preset calibration lock. Keep one stage perfectly referenced while pushing the other by hand, then add per-channel Bias and Phase when the sensible version of the mix has stopped being interesting.
Reference Two is the gentleman. Impeccable manners, beautiful posture, and an Uncalibrate switch. Its Input, Sync, and Reproduce monitor paths give every channel three distinct routes through the machine. Run it at 30 IPS for precision, move to 15 IPS for warmth, then engage Auto-Level and drive it harder while your listening level stays put.
Together, they cover pristine transfer, subtle mastering color, warm mix-bus cohesion, textured tracking tones, asymmetrical channel treatment, and full-drive saturation. Choose the machine that fits the session, or spend an enjoyable afternoon trying all three on the snare drum and forgetting why you opened the project.
