"Signal chains that work. Decisions that last."
Expertise in monitoring, converters, outboard and integration – with advice rooted in real studio work and built for everyday use.
How it all began
It did not start with a shop, but with music.
With bands, rehearsal rooms, the desire to capture songs – and the realization that
recording and mixing can be just as creative as playing itself.
The passion for audio technology started early: at the age of 14, a
Fostex R8 tape machine and a mixing console marked the beginning –
followed by countless magical hours in the basement, completely immersed in the world of music recording.
Eight tracks, tape hiss, tangled reels – and still this feeling:
You press play and hear something that previously only existed in your head.
At the same time: Cakewalk on a 386 PC, endless rendering times,
crashes at the worst possible moment – and nights in which you learned more about
signal flow, levels and decisions than from any manual.
That was 35 years ago.
From there, everything kept moving in the same direction:
better converters · better monitors · first outboard gear · understanding what really changes – and why.
After school came the next step: training as a
Diploma Audio Engineer.
This was followed by several years of mobile broadcast production technology for broadcasters and companies.
In parallel, studies in business administration – connecting sound with entrepreneurial thinking.
Music always remained a constant companion. After university, a private
studio and record label were founded.
The search for precision led to
countless devices being tested under real-world conditions –
from converters, microphones and preamps to compressors and monitors –
with one goal:
the ideal balance of sound quality, workflow and reliability.
Many of the topics we help customers with today come directly from that journey:
- the first monitor upgrade that suddenly changes everything
- the converter that makes depth and imaging audible
- the outboard device that is not simply better, but right
Peakhouse Audio is therefore not a theoretical concept, but the result of years in the studio –
searching for setups that translate reliably and make decisions easier.
