A Hit Factory in Your Headphones

Nx Germano Studios New York brings the A-list acoustics of the legendary NYC studio – originally known as The Hit Factory – to your own set of headphones. Monitor your mixes in a precise model of the iconic control room, complete with its custom-built stereo and surround monitoring systems – so you can create better mixes, anywhere, anytime.

From David Bowie, Stevie Wonder, the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen and Michael Jackson to Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna, Post Malone, J Balvin and Kanye West, Germano has been a top choice for celebrity artists of every genre.

For nearly five decades, major producers and artists – from rock and pop icons to hip hop royalty – have flocked to Germano’s control rooms for their signature power, punch, and club-worthy low end.

The Nx Germano Studios plugin reproduces the precise acoustic response of Germano’s Studio 1 control room, based on precision acoustic measurements combined with Waves Nx® spatial technology consisting of channel crosstalk, inter-aural delays (ITD), filters (ILD), room reflections, and head motion tracking.

Now you can check your mixes through Germano’s top-shelf stereo monitors: The NS10 near-fields; the custom Exigy S412G four-way system with dual 18-inch subwoofers; and the Germano Acoustics A2s.

You can also mix for surround on headphones, with Germano’s 5.1 system equipped with five Germano Acoustics A2 speakers and subwoofer.
