Whether you're building a studio in the back bedroom or kitting out a professional recording studio, you'll need space for a lot of gear. Besides your computer monitor, keyboard and mouse, you'll need somewhere to put your speakers, your audio interface, and maybe one or two MIDI controllers. Also, your studio desk doesn't just need to provide enough space, it needs to support a streamlined workflow and have a comfy, ergonomic design - it also needs to pack a little style.
Making Music at Home? Pick Out the Ideal Studio Desk
In smaller home studio spaces you'd be hard-pressed to set up more than a desk against the wall, which doesn't really leave much space for floor-standing studio monitor stands. So if you want your studio monitors to sit at the right height so you can actually hear the optimum audio image, then a good solution would be to go for a desk with built-in monitor shelves. As well as raised shelves for your monitors, you can also get models with a pull out shelf where you can neatly store your MIDI keyboard or controller, keeping it out of the way of your computer keyboard and mouse.
Studio Desks with Built-in Racks
In bigger studios, you'll find plenty of outboard 19 inch gear neatly stacked in 19 inch racks. To make things as convenient as possible, there are plenty of studio desks that actually come with 19 inch rack space built in, so producers and engineers can keep their preamps, compressors and equalisers close at hand in a side-fitted rack, in a desktop rack, or of course, in a separate rack unit.
Designer Furniture for DJs and Producers
DJs looking for a desk to complete their live setup will find what they're looking for in our range of DJ booths. Since DJs stand up while they work, DJ desks and booths are much higher than studio desks, and since they're designed for a different job, they're also set up differently. A DJ desk or booth also plays a big role in the show, so a lot of models will have a more striking look or design. Some can even be expanded with lighting or customised with a logo.
