Studio systems
Remote-first optimisation for production, mixing, and mastering systems. Applications start end of December 2026.
Elysian Quantum Audio optimises an existing production, mixing, or mastering system, or designs a new one from scratch, so the work lands closer to live. The aim is detail, dynamics, and a black-background noise floor.
Who it’s for
We accept all studio types. Choose the closest path — or select “not sure” on the application.
Production
Producers, project studios, singers, and instrumentalists getting serious.
From £3,000
Mixing
Mix engineers fighting masking, fatigue, and overcrowded sessions — including multi-hundred-track work.
From £2,500
Mastering
Mastering engineers and facilities that need a true industry reference.
From £3,500

The problem
Most semi-pro and professional playback systems have fundamental issues. Traditional “solutions” only fix a fraction of them. Gear upgrades without system-level optimisation leave noise, distortion, and false detail in place — so productions, mixes, and masters never reach what the recording is capable of.
If you are starting from scratch, the same work happens before those faults are built in.
What EQA does differently
Hardware
We select hardware for the system and the budget, not from a stock list.
Headphones and speakers
Transducers are chosen for the room and the work, not added as an afterthought.
Weak points
We identify the parts of the chain that hold the rest back.
Overlooked areas
Noise reduction, distortion reduction, and power filtering, where most upgrades never look.
How the process works
- 1. Diagnose Core problems in the system, starting with power and digital hardware.
- 2. The chain Power first, electronics next, then the easily overlooked optimisations that compromise the sonic foundation if missed, and finally speakers and headphones that display the strength of that foundation with their unique colour.
- 3. Review Implement, then judge it against a serious improvement.
- 4. Deliver The system is EQA recognised.
- 1. Choose the path Production, Mixing, or Mastering.
- 2. Set the maximum budget One ceiling. It includes the payment to EQA as well as the system.
- 3. Design the chain Hardware, headphones and speakers, and the overlooked areas: noise, distortion, and power.
- 4. Deliver Remote-first. In place before the first serious session, then the system is EQA recognised.
Packages
Individual areas are available as entry points. Full packages remain the path to an EQA recognised system.
How to apply
- 1. Scorecard Studio System Health Scorecard, free.
- 2. Apply Notify list until applications start at the end of December 2026.
- 3. Remote session Diagnosis if you already have a system, or a design session if you are starting from scratch.
- 4. Proposal and deliver The right package, then the system is EQA recognised.
Home listening is a different path: HiFi systems.
