Our Design Philosophy.
At one time, big label recording studios were each known for their distinctive sound. Part of what made each studio distinctive was the engineer who worked there and who built made-to-order gear that was customized for a given musician, recording session or track. KVG Laboratories audio equipment uses this approach to make major label quality sound available for all your audio projects, large or small. KVG Laboratories strikes a balance between the old ways and the new. New technologies can result in meaningful progress and genuine improvement, but at the same time important knowledge has been lost over time, knowledge we’re keeping alive. We don’t adopt new technology unless it does something demonstrably better and we don’t cling to the old out of stubborn nostalgia but rather from our knowledge of what works and what doesn't.
KVG Laboratories builds and designs Individually Custom-Engineered (ICE) equipment using both tube and transistorized technology that is specifically tailored for every style of recording, genre of music and style of production. Individually Custom-Engineered (ICE) equipment is designed by working professionals, not marketing cabals or computer programmers, so we understand which features are useful to gigging musicians and working engineers and which features are merely trendy packaging. We offer versatile configuration, session-to-session consistency, outstanding reliability and excellent operational efficiency so you spend more time making and recording music and less time operating electronics.
