"Signal chains that work. Decisions that last."
Expertise in monitoring, converters, outboard and integration – with consulting that grows out of real studio work and works in day-to-day practice.
It didn’t 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 engineering ignited early: at 14, a Fostex R8 tape machine and a mixing console were the starting point – and with them countless, magical hours in the basement, fully immersed in the world of music recording. Eight tracks, tape tangles, noise – and still that feeling: you press play and hear something that previously existed only in your head. At the same time: Cakewalk on a 386, endless render times, crashes at the worst moment – and nights in which you learned more about signal flow, levels and decisions than from any manual. That was 35 years ago!
From then on it kept going in the same direction: better converters · better monitors · first outboard units · understanding what really changes – and why.
After graduating from school, the next step followed: training as a graduate audio engineer. Then a few years of OB truck engineering for broadcasters and companies. In parallel, studying business administration – the connection between sound and entrepreneurial thinking.
Music remained a loyal companion throughout. After university, an own studio and record label were founded. The pursuit of precision led to countless devices being tested under real conditions – from converters to microphones & preamps to compressors and monitors – with one goal: the ideal balance of sound quality, workflow and reliability.
Many of the topics we help clients with today come directly from that journey:
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.
Today Peakhouse Audio stands for high-end pro audio consulting with a clear focus on monitoring, converters, outboard and their integration into working workflows.
Fewer options – and a setup that works long term.
The most important step is almost always the same: listen first – then decide.
Many options sound similar at first – until you compare them under identical conditions. That’s exactly what demo comparisons are for: same level, same signal path, same listening position. No showroom illusion, no “aha” tricks, just a clean A/B context. And when it really counts, the decision belongs at your place – in your room, at your sweet spot, in your daily working reality. Especially when choosing the right loudspeakers, listening in your own room is not an extra, but part of our shared path to the decision.
In the end it’s not only about sound, but about function: routing, gain staging, ergonomics, expandability and integration. So your setup works as a system and not as a collection.
You talk to people who have produced and mixed themselves.
Our clients come from studio, mastering, broadcast and research – everywhere decisions have to hold up long term.

“This is about solutions – not selling.”
Between 2012 and 2018 we were co-founders and shareholders of a company that we built together as a team into one of the leading pro-audio retailers in Germany. This time sharpened our view: what really helps – and what is just an option.
Monitoring, outboard, cabling and hybrid workflows – not because it’s expensive, but because it speeds up decisions and makes results more consistent.
Long-lasting systems, high-quality components and conscious decisions are also a matter of sustainability for us.
The new dream gear has been bought, wired up and is shining promisingly in the rack. Now it can begin – a one-time moment! And every new device in the setup brings new features, functions and, in many cases, quite a few technical questions.
Even after purchasing from Peakhouse Audio, we are of course at your side and will try to help you quickly and thoroughly with all questions that come up (integration, sound, function, routing, et al). And even if everything runs as expected – stay in touch and feel free to share your feedback on the product and your experience with it.
For every client and every budget we find the right equipment. Objective comparisons under studio conditions – in our Peakhouse demo studio or as a loan/test setup at your place – ensure an individual solution tailored to your requirements.
From the overwhelming flood of devices, we have selected the best and only sell what convinces in terms of quality. Thanks to our established industry network and long-standing manufacturer and distribution contacts, in many cases you can test studio equipment in your own setup without obligation.
We’re happy to go through your setup with you and suggest improvements – also on site. This includes concepts for cabling/patchbays, acoustic adjustments as well as optimizing analog and digital components.
We build everything – from adapters to high-end hi-fi cables – as far as feasible in-house and exclusively to a high standard. Peakhouse Audio is also one of the few official Vovox Custom Tailor partners worldwide: custom lengths, multicore cables, complete studio wiring – anything is possible and is manufactured quickly and to the best quality.
You’ll regularly find special deals on demo units with us. We describe their condition as accurately as possible – and provide the full warranty. Worth checking in!
We use electricity & gas from 100% renewable energy as well as fully recycled or recyclable packaging materials. In addition, we donate at least 1 € per customer invoice to a dedicated nature conservation organization. With your purchase you actively support the protection of our environment.
Active in the audio industry for over 30 years, we are the first point of contact in Germany for numerous pro-audio players. Long-standing client relationships and strong references confirm our goal: the best possible consulting.
