Hardwell's third music studio in his home in Curaçao (a Dutch Caribbean island) is outfitted with Genelec speakers. His studio designer Jan Morel has spoken about what he uses, including Genelec 1237A as the main monitors 6 feet from the listening position:

The aesthetic requirements for the new studio demanded a different design from Hardwell’s allwhite main studio in the Netherlands, with the style, colours and architecture mirroring the house in Curacao itself. However, there was only ever one choice for the monitoring solution. “He is used to Genelec, his main studio is equipped with 1034Bs, a 7073A and 8341As,” says Morel. “For him there is no other option to go for, or work with.”

While the monitoring brand has remained the same, Morel opted for a slightly different Genelec solution in response to the different acoustic environment of the new Curacao space. A pair of 1237A studio monitors have been installed as the main monitoring solution – about 6 feet from the listening position – with two 8330A monitors positioned about 4 feet away to provide the nearfield system. Finally, a 7071A dual 12-inch subwoofer has been placed under the desk but off centre, close to the wall to manage low frequencies. As part of Genelec’s Smart Active Monitoring family, the 1237A and 8330A monitors were configured and calibrated using Genelec’s own GLM software.

Responding to a question about what plugin he uses to give his sounds more power, Hardwell says he uses the Noveltech Character Plugin. This is from the Facebook Studio interview at Amsterdam Dance Event 2014. His reply is around 09:12 in the video: "To give my sound more power, I think definitely when it comes to synths, it’s really important how you EQ your synths. But one of my plugins that I basically always use on synths and baselines is from Noveltech, it’s called Character. Basically it just boosts the character of the sound itself. So your sound is getting more powerful, and it sounds so much better. There’s a lot of good presets in it, so you definitely need to check that plugin out."
