Studer by HARMAN, the world-leader in digital mixing systems for Broadcast, Theatre and House of Worship facilities, was founded by Willi Studer in 1948, just outside of Zurich, Switzerland.
With the early success of legendary products like the J37 tape machine in the 1960s and then later the D950 digital console in the 1990s, Studer has gone on to pioneer some of the most advanced user interfaces in audio production, with many concepts that have gone on to become industry standards. Technologies such as our patented Vistonics and FaderGlow (also adopted by our sister brand Soundcraft), have made Studer synonymous with fast-to-learn and easy-to-use mixing systems that deliver pristine audio, unparalleled connectivity and precision build-quality.
