Jasmin Studio
Located in an artistic residence with natural beauty and uncompromisingly designed facil ities, right on the Atlantic Ocean in Fortaleza, in northeastern Brazil, Jasmin Studio is a re nowned space for design, acoustics, integra tion and innovation, recognized by interna tional specialized publications such as Sound on Sound and Mix Magazine. According to the British magazine Headliner, “a personal studio to rival any commercial space on the planet”.
It’s a sound sanctuary with connections to major cities like Lisbon, Miami, and Paris. The place where creativity meets the right tools to achieve its goals: a 48-channel SSL Duality Delta console, expandable to 96, Burl Mothership converters, Dante IP integration, support for protocols such as MADI, AES-EBU, and Dolby Atmos.
The acoustic project was designed by the North American company WSDG – Walters-Storky Design Group and the engineering project was conceived by Daniel Reis, head of Neumann/ Sennheiser Latin America.
The project resulted in a main room with a neutral response and six individual booths with specific characteristics, allowing record ings with different degrees of resonance and absorption, with variable acoustics in the form of controlled diffusers.
There are 256 simultaneous recording chan nels, Neumann 7.1.4 monitoring systems – KH420, 120, 310, and 810. A hybrid studio where you can seamlessly transition between the analog and digital worlds using convert ers. It operates in stereo using the analog mix er and, with the push of a button, switches to Atmos, listening to all the different formats, such as 7.1.4, binaural, stereo, and 5.1.
Jasmin boasts a vast collection of micro phones: the U87Ai, D-01, and KM184 sit along side vintage reissues like the U47 FET and U67, plus an original Telefunken U47, KU100 bin aural head, Schoeps, the Russian Soyuz, and a 1950s RCA ribbon microphone.
Collection of analog and modular synthesizers (Moog, Prophet, Oberheim, Sequential, Erica Synths, Buchla), keyboards, basses, guitars, drums, ex otic percussions from the Amazon, collection of oriental and Middle Eastern flutes, Indian instruments (sitar, sarod, sarangi, tablas), and classical and modern instruments.
All this coexists with rarities such as the original 1969 Hammond organ with Leslie, outboards from Neve, API, SSL, Shadow Hills, Unfairchild, Urei, EMI, Manley, Tube Tech, Retro, and Teletronix, two Yamaha concert grand pianos (CFX/C7X), a Clavinet D6 Hohner, and two Fender Rhodes MK1/88 electric pianos. In ad dition to all this equipment, Jasmin is a green studio and runs on solar energy.
More than a technical space, it is an environ ment of freedom, where every detail—from the acoustic diffusion to the textures of the instruments—contributes to the music find ing its most authentic and profound form. It is a place for listening. Of long conversations. Of sounds that do not repeat themselves. Of encounters that give birth to what does not yet exist.
