Eavesdrop ↗

Equipment in use

Eavesdrop lists MasterSounds in its source / playback setup. The equipment details below reflect the venue record.

  • Mixer: Radius 4V

Inside the system

House Under Magic’s Danny Taylor developed Eavesdrop’s system, acoustics, furniture and room as one project. Two custom-painted Danley SH60 Synergy Horns serve as mains, supported by two concealed Seaton Submersive S2 subwoofers, Bryston 7B SST amplification and a MasterSounds Radius 4V rotary mixer. The SH60 brings low-, mid- and high-frequency drivers into a shared horn structure. Concealed bass cabinets and a diffusion wall integrate the audio work with the interior, keeping the loudspeaker system and the room treatment closely related.

Dante’s HiFi ↗

Equipment in use

Dante’s uses a MasterSounds Radius four-valve rotary mixer with an accompanying effects unit.

  • Rotary mixer / effects: Radius four-valve mixer and FX unit

Inside the system

Klipsch Cornwall mains sit alongside additional Klipsch speakers and subwoofers, Altec five-panel horns and vintage Cary valve amplification. Technics 1200-family decks use Isonoe isolators, with a MasterSounds Radius four-valve mixer and effects unit at the booth. The installation combines different loudspeaker roles with an analogue source chain. Isolation at the turntables addresses mechanical vibration reaching the playback equipment, a practical concern when vinyl shares a room with substantial loudspeakers.
