HarmonyMastering

The PMC6 have officially moved into the studio. I’ve been drawn to PMC’s design philosophy and their ATL technology for a longer time now, and at some point it became clear that my trusty Focals could no longer keep up and had to make room for the next step.

While I’m still completely in love with my Meze Empyrean II and consider them a very strong personal reference, I don’t want to rely on headphones alone. The PMC6 now bring me much closer on speakers to what I’m hearing on the Meze, which was exactly what I was looking for.

The level of detail is exceptional, the low end is precise and controlled, and the overall sound feels natural and comfortable to work with. The built-in DSP also offers further options to adapt the speakers to the room, which will be the next step.

I’m very excited to start 2026 with this new setup.

Over the last years, I realised how naturally and precisely I can do most of my mastering work on headphones. Even though I always double-check on speakers, the key decisions usually happen on cans.
That’s why I’m extremely proud to share that HarmonyMastering is now working with the Empyrean 2 by !

Sonically, the Empyrean 2 are truly inspiring: incredibly clear, honest and detailed, almost surgical, yet never fatiguing. They combine precision with the warm, inviting feeling of a great hi-fi system. And thanks to their light weight and comfort, I can work for hours without even noticing I’m wearing headphones.

The craftsmanship is stunning – from the hybrid array drivers to the fiberglas casing, the leather pads and the braided copper cable. Every element feels refined and thoughtfully engineered.

The first time I listened to the Empyrean 2 – both in the past and now with my own pair – I was genuinely moved. Songs I’ve heard hundreds of times reached me so deeply that I actually couldn’t hold back a few tears.
And that’s ultimately what matters most in my mastering process: allowing music to connect emotionally in the strongest and most truthful way.
When a system enables me to feel that, I know I have everything I need — and the Meze Empyrean 2 deliver exactly that.

Kinda secretly been mastering the upcoming EP by .band in the last weeks!
As every project is something special - and I’m beyond grateful for all your trust in my work - this one is up a notch.

Why you may ask?
Because some of their past music was in my personal playlist, prior to getting to know them better personally. And now even working on their music feels kinda surreal.
So I’m pretty humbled about that part of my mastering journey.

Prepare yourself for an awesome & energetic EP, beautifully mixed by (actually nicknamed him “vocal wizard” after hearing his mixes)!

Can’t wait to share this one with you soon.

Cheers.
